I see flaws in all the housemates and have never gone on getting at housemates that I even don't care for the way some have as to Dan.

However I now shut up a lot because I was accused of being too defensive and also actually got some real nastiness thrown at me too.

I keep a lot of my own counsel now as to what I would really like to say. However I am also a Dexter fan and Gina fan,should I go on abaout them as I do Dan, that would be all fine.
I only get pulled up as to my defences of Dan.
I get people don't like him and that is their right too,however it is clear to me, I would get away with a great deal more, if I said about Dexter what I do as to Dan.
That is really sad as far as I am concerned and also unfair.

Once again, I agree with every word. I have to say are one of the nicest, fairest people on this forum, and you are hardly going to like a horrible character, but still such is the Dan hate that even you get a hard time. It's incomprehensible that the likes of Dexter's character can be admired and every single thing he does defended, yet Dan just has to say boo and there's a thread about how awful he is.
Dan is no saint, but my goodness, he's far from the devil incarnate that he's made out to be.
If some can't (or don't want to) see his value, his warmth, his kindness, and therefore overlook some of his less stellar moments, then there isn't a thing you or I can do about it. I think we agree that neither of us have a problem with someone not liking him - it's the OTT, drip drip drip, pick pick pick that grates on us.
It's one of the mysteries of this years BB, and unfortunately it takes away some of the enjoyment for us, but we are still here and supporting our man and plenty of others are too!
