Oh well, that makes everything hunky dory then

Well that's a misrepresentation of what I said, I was just making an observation regarding the treatment of different family members

Well i think all these raw emotions, which drive us to protect loved one's last a bit longer than one post.

And i don't really have to consider the Op's intention's further than do i trust them or not.

If i were to guess about his possible intentions(worst case) however i'd say he is trying to support his Brothers game, everything in his post speaks to an Aaron fan, either because his words are the truth and Aaron fans are correct, else his words are false and convincing the public Aaron is just being himself is all part of the game. No surprise which option i choose, but that does not make me blind to the alternative.

What i have seen of Aaron tells me he's transmitting a concocted image, which satisfies the average BB viewer, he's made many a mistake and spanners have been thrown in the works but this is my take on it, and there is plenty of evidence which supports this.

Faye's mum or Jay's mum aren't members of this forum .... are they?

Well, instead of posting comments which are obvious to all, as an OP why don't you act upon it instead of making observations?

Just asking

No.. but I don't particularly see anything wrong with the reaction to Aaron's Brother's post, overwhelmingly positive but as is inevitable there's been the occasional negative, critical post.

Not quite, insults directed at him arent allowed, as he is a forum member.

If Fayes mum or Jays mum joined, no insults would be allowed at them either.

A discussion thread on them is a totally different kettle of fish though.

(Must say though that negative posts are not the same as insults.. and that the insults in this thread as far as I can see have been deleted anyway)

I've not insulted anyone I don't know him personally so wouldn't insulted him personally. But I'd say anything about his brother that I wanted. Within reason of course

Seems Vicky's post below doesn't quite echo your own. Surely insults to forum members should be regarded as wrong?

Just asking !

Act upon what? I see nothing wrong with the reaction to Aaron's Brother's post and in the case of Faye and Jay's mum they're not members of the forum so there is more leeway to insult them. I wasn't saying anything was happening that was breaking any forum rules.

Insults, yes.

But not all negative posts are insults.

You don't have to know a person personally to be insult them. (not necessarily you in particular - I mean in general - fms don't need to know each other personally to throw insults around).

I think it does echo my own in saying negative posts are not the same as insults, we haven't allowed any direct insults in this thread so therefore I see no problem with any of the posts in this thread currently

I was meaning the insults - ie; the insulting posts that have been removed - that's what I mean.

I agree that negative comments of views are fair play.

Yes, I know this

But saying things about his brother, is very different to saying things TO his brother.

Like you could say in another thread 'oh XXX was such a dick' but if they join, you wouldnt say 'oh you are such a dick'

Or I would hope you wouldnt

Well you could word it in past tense I guess all the time. I would anyway

You said, "Act upon what?" - and then saying you see nothing wrong.
That's more what I was trying to say.

I'm reading that as you not acting upon the insults (that have since been deleted). I may be wrong, and you may have deleted some of the insulting posts: if so, I will offer sincere apologies.

I'm a little confused between an insult and a negative post...I haven't posted on this thread because even though I like Aaron, I was not impressed at all when at last weeks eviction his brother smirked while Faye's mum was booed by the crowd so I didn't feel I wanted to repond in any way to his thread....because he is a member..is it an insult to say I thought his behaviour was.....shabby

What that has to do with my post - I have not a clue.

Yes but you wouldnt say it TO them. Thats my point. You would say it about them when discussing them...if thats what you felt.

But saying directly to any other member that they are a dick...is against the rules. No matter who the member is.

See...I thought Faye's mum had that coming - and I was glad to see it.
