Are you taking the piss?

RiverRock, were you Roxi in a former, forum life?

That one wasn't a physical thing, I think it was in the context of "his eyes were out on stalks" when the new girls went in.

Must say though, I've never liked all the "she's too fat, too thin, too pale, too whatever" stuff that is aimed mostly at the female HMs.

I think the crab eyes thing is ok...but I do agree that it's in bad taste to slate HMs appearance.  Disclaimer, clothes, hairdos, shoes etc are fair game.

No

WEre you a member of the C4 forum?  If so, the way the housemates are referred to on this forum is very mild in comparison.  I think that all the housemates know exactly what they are letting themselves in for when they apply to be on Big Brother, and know that any physical, mental, or emotional attribute will be dissected and slagged off in great detail. They have chosen to put themselves in the public spotlight, and are generally attention seekers, so really shoudl be able to cope with whatever is said about them.  What I think is so nice about this forum whilst this series of BB has been on is the lack of personal insults between FMs unlike C4 when some members became incredibly abusive towards other FMs because they liked or didn't like a particular housemate.  I don't see a problem in people expressing any view about the housemates, whether it be about their appearance or personality and whether it is negative or positive - but there can never be an excuse for the type of personal insults that used to be made on C4.

I support JJ, but I know he's a twonk, he's just a good HM to have in the house...and if you support an unpopular HM then that's the way it is....you live with it.

Josie is a gannet, Keever is bandy and Ben is a lazy git (I want him to win)...I shall get around to insulting the rest eventually

I think perhaps posters should try to use their best judgment about what it is reasonable to say about a housemate
BUT I also think that anybody who enters Big Brother as a contestant should know perfectly well that thy will be considered fair game by members of the public, the media, people on forums.
I also think we should remember that it is primarily light-entertainment.
I hope some housemates can even laugh at themselves.
Sadly, as we have seen, some cannot.

Oh I can spot Roxi/Ilovechocolate/Hayley in her first post.  She hasn't been here for quite a long time now.

but you support him for doing it 

I've never called Josie fat, never mentioned Keeva's legs and I may have or not called JJ crab eyes. I don't like him because he's a hypocrite and a miserable git, who I don't find one bit entertaining!

Im guessing that one is still upset about MJs death..

This is tame you shouldve seen the "other" forum !    But to be fair, its mostly just repeating what has been said by Hms in the house. The HMs have put themselves in the house, and they all know about the forums, as its been discussed in there. Maybe some take it a bit far, but its the game, isnt it ?

I think you might have missed some of the threads around here recently then, Growly. Some FMs have become very nasty and childish towards others.

All i see is a "traditional" BB forum,
with BB viewers posting/venting/debating/bantering about BB HMs - i think those who take it too personal, have taken it onto a completely new level . 

I don't support him for doing it. Everyone's favourite does things they don't like.

It's not the slagging of the housemates that annoys me the most, its the people doing the slagging slag off JJ especially for doing it then do it themselves.

Get a grip, everyone on this forum has said something about a housemate that others disagree with. I also notice that it is  the most vituperative contributors that shout the loudest about venemous posters.  It's BB for goodness sake.

*polishes fangs*

Oooh cool word!

Thought they were looking a 'tad' yellow Peter

That's the natural colour for teeth. I has been told hofficially!

So bloody cool I had to go look it up

Oh Fairfax, your such a bully....

vituperative, what a great word

Me too.

Now I have a new word for bitter or abusive. Woo hoo! *does the I found a new word dance*

*puts on Official Pedant hat*

You mean, "Fairfax, you're such a bulleh!"

River Rock - thanks for posting that - it`s just what I`ve been thinking recently. I`m not posting much any more.

I don`t think its a case of people taking things too personally - its just there are some posters who take any opportunity to vent hate - its just nasty.

Specifically about the Josie's weight issue (as I am guilty of starting that thread!).

As it was the focus of a storyline during a good part of a recent episode of highlights I think it is perfectly acceptable for people to give their opinions on this.

The same can be said of CRAB EYES which lasted over several days!!!

I must have missed the bow legged thing, first I've heard of it.

My point is if their appearance becomes part of the storylines then it would be ridiculous to consider it off-limits for discussion.

Wot! Eva!

Intelligent people shouldnt be on here, get off Fairfax

 it seem ok for JJ to mock people that can hear him, but not for us to mock him and he can't. I'm a Corin supporter and we take some stick...but I'm luvin it typed whilst I adjusted me bolt ons 

Hee! Hee!

I so agree Skylark  

Fairfax 

'Tis the way of the world, it's like projection grand central on here some times

Maybe poor JJ was just confused by her accent and thought she was from Bolton.

Lucky she's not from S___thorpe Leccy 

The funny thing is, ever since JJ was called 'Crab Eyes' every time I see his eyes they do look a bit...well... 'crabby'. Honestly

Everyone's got odd things about themselves, no-ones perfect....well apart from me, I mean I'm just bloody gorgeous. This morning I had to double check myself in the mirror as I was looking much sexier than the day before....*sigh* It can be a real burden

I still have the scars for supporting Aisylene, stick by your fav housemate and dont read the threads that are likely to upset you. Thats all i can say RiverRock
