I remember it as forum wars with the banstick being waved constantly

I do take the time to read all responses to me Olly.  There is nothing that is not for public consumption in the Buddies thread.  Open to all.  The warning that you refer to was to help a friend to avoid the sort of confrontation that occurred during the election.  It was successful in that she didn't risk posting and therefore risk getting upset.  Nothing sinister about it at all. I apologise if I have read your attitude to Ben wrongly.  As I have said before I am the sort of person who likes to 'accentuate the positive' which I know comes over to some people on here as blinkered.  Hey ho we are all different and it takes all sorts to make a world.

In all seriousness though, Ben's twitching in bed last night was crazy.  I wonder if he was having a nightmare.  Ooh and just like that we're back on topic.

No LF, so no see yet....but I look forward to it

fair enough Squiggle.. 

I appreciate you don't like to accentuate the negative in people. . I'm of the opinion it adds balance to a person and  to a debate.. and I am talking discussing BB HM's here   ..

so if I am debating about someone I support, [tho Science was the only one I ever did support in that way because I starting LUTting after that series and doing that put me off every HM within a few weeks. . twas  HM overload .. , ] I will happily admit to and discuss the faults and castigate too  but, I will also look for the reasons behind the faults and discuss those as well.. that's is what interests me.. 

That is why it is so interesting to have a forum.  If it was nothing but fan threads it would be tedious to the point of being comatose.  It can go the other way though and if you see nothing but thread after thread all having a go at someone you like it can be disheartening.  Still I was a Rachel supporter and a Freddie supporter so I suppose that makes me a glutton for punishment

That is so true....and one respected FM feels that they cannot post here because of intimidation by a few FMs who refuse to see anyone's point of view but their own

Unfortunately, Kaytee that has always been the way and always will be.  Only thing you can do is to ignore and stay strong in what you believe.

Snidey comments about FMs' threads/comments/choice of housemates, does not make for a happy forum.

I think it's sad when that happens LL...it's not right

ahem

i am here to bear witness to erinp being  drummed out of the brownies. 

I don't see why people need other people to agree with them or why it's so awful being disagreed with.

Anyway on topic, what about Ben in bed, was it the twitching Erin P or his hair?  That jerking twitching thing was funny

yeah Leccy....but some of us don't give a toss and others do, that's the way of things

True, but I thought Ch4 forums would have toughened anyones skin up.  This place is a skip through a meadow compared to GBBF (or even DS for that matter) 

I agree with you Leccy tbh...but we North Easterners are made of strong stuff anyway

*runs through thread naked to calm everyone down*

Whit Woo! *scrambles for magnifying glass*

*stamps on kaytee's magnifying glass in a strop*

Pease pudding, it puts hairs on your chest.
I was calm but now I'm not *faints*

...well I don't like to boast

Ben's bad points are part of the reason I like him...infact most of the hm's bad points are what draws me to them   We're all human

Well ikatali I think that nicely illustrates that we all like different HM's for different reasons Vive La Difference!

there, there big boy.....*whistles*

that's why I stopped eating it

Then you might like to extend that courtesy to your fellow FMs, even the ones you don't agree with. Good day to you squiggle
