I've prefered twitter but a lot of posters here are amazing and make me laugh but honesty what is happening?

I've never used twitter but the general consensus of opinion seems to be that it is a lot worse - one of the worst - so find your post a little odd tbh.

Thanks Kaz. I do come in now and again when Something catches my attention.

I forget it's here sometimes. SD has a way of keeping your attention.

Actually this has been an interesting much needed discussion apart from the odd pointless baiting post.

If you think someone is trolling then report it and if it needs dealt with it will be.

And honestly anyone claiming they posted the cat ladies thing not knowing it was an insult is a liar.

I feel the thread has opened up a good discussion,people have got stuff off their chests and maybe we have all been shown that sometimes we get too embroiled in a game show where the contestants neither know us or care about us (aside from Raph) all in all,I have enjoyed this thread.

Exactly! You only have to check the links I posted to see it was used as a means to insult. It's all there in b/w.

But because its directed at a male its fine

A lot who are complaining about appearance insults this year actually posted in that thread..and joined in with the taunting about 'fat and virgin'

Looking back on it now I can't believe we didn't ban people for their attitudes in there actually. I often get shocked at just how horrible members can be when I look at old threads.

Edit. Raph in that thread

Spoiler:

Haven't read through the whole thing and I'm not to trying to justify it in any way but Jack actually was/is very obese, and people were discussing that as a possible reason why he was voted to win some vote (can't remember what). It's slightly different from people calling female housemates (who aren't even overweight) "fat sluts" etc because they don't like them. But I admit some of the posts are horrible and not acceptable.

An ICONIC compilation!
Honestly if you're offended by any of those posts over some of the vitriol posted about female housemates then you have your priorities all wrong.

That's because you've been far to busy calling others Cat Ladies to notice.

None of your examples showed anyone calling another MEMBER a cat lady so try again. I can't believe I'm even having this conversation, it's ridiculous.

Because people know if they do that then they get banned as it's an insult, it's not that hard to work out That's what I meant by people doing it slyly thinking that they can get away with it by directing it at fb when it becomes an issue.

I've never read so much sh!t in all my life. What do you think I am? I was called a cat lady myself on Thursday and the person who said it isn't to far away either. It was removed for obvious reasons but a moderator will be able to clarify this.

People direct it at Facebook because that's what it means. Not everything is a bloody conspiracy or some sort of coded message towards other people on here.

Pretty sure people mean casuals (non-forum members etc) but it's only an issue to take the attention away from their slut shaming and appearance attacks which is a lot worse than the whole cat lady thing.

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that! Poor you.

Sounds like an isolated incident to me mind you, not a widespread cat lady conspiracy like some are making out.

Mess what is happening in here?

I actually find this forum pretty mild compared to other sites. I agree people shouldn't be personally attacking each other but I've not actually seen anything bad. I think a little bit of trolling can liven things up now and again.
