I think the other housemates have handled Marc well.

By falling in line and allowing him to take over the show.

Harry on the other hand, who can be equally offensive in some respects can't reach a common ground.

Why should someone reach a common ground with a man who calls women slutbuckets and refers to her as a pig, smelly, ugly, thick and dangerous. And acts one way when he thinks he's reading out Danny's words and another way when it turns out those perfectly reasonable words are from Harry.

She has just shut off instead of trying to resolve her issues with Marc.

He's the one who has had a problem with her and chooses to just ignore her, or so he says (the manipulative little ****). In actual fact we've seen him make sly digs such as a calling her a pig on his way out of the room. What happened next? Second in command Danny comes into the room to tell Harry how she should be acting.

She wants to win against him instead of finding a happy medium. She has retracted because she can't beat him...she's lost the battle because she doesn't have the maturity to compromise.

A happy medium with Marc is essentially letting him control the house, which the others are happy to do because they're drips. She however is not.

If you have to live with people in a house and can't handle it...get out or get along. It's called people management and if you are clever you can do it....Harry isn't clever. Harry has acted the bully by insinuating she would smash the bottle over Marc's head...she's the one that when Nick told Harry Marc is frightened of her...she replied "good he had better be"...
Ever heard of the saying 'Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me'... Marc may say unpleasant things sometimes but Harry can't manage the situation...she wants to get the better of Marc...and if she can't I think she will lash out.

Yeah, I've always thought it was the biggest load of **** ever spoken. The pen is mightier than the sword and words can infact destroy people.

Marc may say unpleasant things sometimes

From the moment he entered all the way up to now.

but Harry can't manage the situation...

Why should someone have to manage a situation in which they are being called a pig, a creep, thick, ugly, smelly and stinking? This is not being said by a man who is joking. This is being said by an obnoxious little creep with a dictatorial personality. If a man said that to a guy's girlfriend in the real world he would be decked. And yet a girl who is on the receiving end of that says one thing about smashing a bottle over his head and you're making her out to be the aggressive one. It is Marc who is causing the very nasty atmosphere that is now emerging in that house

she wants to get the better of Marc...and if she can't I think she will lash out.

Exactly what he is trying to provoke.

Agree with this. She's given him just as much as he has to her and resorted to pathetic little physical threats. Boggles the mind that people are saying he's the bully in this situation since she spent a day in the huff. Not that I think she's a bully either, FWIW. That word is thrown around way too easily these days.

Only thing I've seen close to bullying was when most of the group were hounding Simon for 2/3 days last week.
