Can I say something...

Senora Reyes

If I get shot down by you lot, so be it..

Last night I noticed a lot of forumers getting a bit heated with each other, and also noticed the slating of a particular HM's fans...I have to say it's not on! I don't come onto the forum to get into a slanging match with folk, I like light hearted banter, and teasing, but underlying nastiness is kind of off-putting.

The HM's are fair game in BB, it's always been the case for as long as I can remember.

However when has it been ok to slate forumers and thier reasons for liking a HM?

Surely it's out of personal choice who we choose to support?

Remember BB is nearly over folks, so getting into a petty argument is kind of redundant after the 4th September as we will still be forum members.

There I've said it...I'm wearing my motorcycle helmet as I type...

Hear,hear, I am avoiding a lot of threads, cant be bothered with it.

If everyones tastes were the same it be a funny world.

I like Marcus to win, second Siavash, so why slate him

Thank you, HM's I can deal with the slating I do it myself, but my point is slating forum members simply because they like a particular HM.

Glad you got that off your chest.

I'm usually only on here during the day and haven't really noticed personal attacks (withstanding the older gripes that crop up from time to time).

Shame if some don't realise that BB is 'only a game show'. We are entitled to like who we like. Unless of course it's Charlie

Every year there is a housemate who people like enough to be a contender.....and the same housemate provokes such strong reactions in people they have to enter every thread about them just to hate them more.

This year it is siavash, last year it was Rex.

And the spooky thing is the ranting they display is often exactly how their favourite (this year it's marcus) behaves....so if nothing else you can understand why some people like ranty, shouty people...because they recognise themselves in that housemate maybe.

This by no means describes marcus's fans on the whole...he has been a bloody good housemate and its a shame either him or the vash will go tonight(hope the vash stays).....it just describes the handful of predictable obsessives who like to spit the dummy out at every opportunity...maybe they think they are being rebellious

I agree Senora.

Over the last few days I`ve had use the ignore facility because of it. Saves the old blood pressure.

Great thread, needed saying.

I give my opinions without any malice towards any fm, they can and have digs back how often they like, its no skin on my back and i dont ever get into forum wars. Ive watched them and each person involved, right or wrong, are trying to score points, trying to belittle fm's. They need to get out more, thats about all i can say

I agree with a lot of what has been said, and have always thought that by putting themselves onto a national TV game show, the housemates have to accept that they will be open to criticism about every aspect of their lives and behaviour. Abusive and personal comments to other FMs are completely different, and are unnecessary. But I have to say that, having been on the C4 forum on a very regular basis since BB5, the level of animosity and unpleasantness between FMs over their views on the housemates is way, way less than I can ever remember (problems about other issues are a different matter!). I think it's partly because one or two of the really abusive trolls from C4 don't seem to have found their way over here, and maybe also that a lot of the younger teens who used to register on C4 aren't here either.

I totally agree Senora... it seems to happen every year, but that doesn't make it ok.

The boundary between having a pop at a housemate, and having a pop at someone for liking that housemate is clear and important one.

BTW... I can't keep up with who the baddie fans are anymore

Is it Marcus fans??

Maybe I should switch ... and become a Lisa fan

I have to admit though, that I have said I've wanted to fly-kick Charlie.

I think there is a difference in a joke and some of the unpleasantness that as been said recently.

I seem to remember the same thing happened last year at around this time. 'It's only a gameshow, it's only a gameshow, etc.'

I agree senora ... HMs are fair game for criticism, but it's another thing entirely to be abusive towards FMs because of the particular HM they support ....

I thought I had developed a thick skin last year when I supported Rex, but some of the comments still make me go
