No one has the depth or the intelligence to take Gary on in there so what we saw was Dee resorting to dirty tactics to try and gain the upper hand, failing miserably. I would imagine, in the outside world, she would have taken a physical swipe at Gary by now, maybe that's harsh of me, but its how she comes across to me. I think she is someone that uses her size and physicality to dominate people

I agree that in some ways Gary is a great communicator, but the whole concept of having good communication skills means being able to adapt them to fit the audience and purpose. Gary fails to do that imo, it's why he's always called rude.

Agree about Dee btw, I'd be quite intimidated by her if I'm honest.

He has trouble with accents and knowing what terms are in use, he therefore misunderstands. His deafness does not help one bit. It is a fact that different things have alternative meanings in different cultures. It cant be easy for him.

I didn't really mean his comprehension of what other people says, but the way he speaks to others. He often talks about abstract things which can alienate some people.

There's nothing wrong with that btw, I'm just commenting on the opinion of another forum member that Gary is a great communicator.

Ah I was just generalising tbh but because he talks on the spiritual line it is definitely a difficult thing for many to understand. His logic is understandable though if they could get past the thinking "rude" bit. I would love to sit and have a chat with him.

Yep I totally agree! I'd love to have a chat with him too. Some of them need to accept that he speaks a little differently to them. I understand that they might have been offended at first but they should just accept that he means no rudeness now.
