Good advice , just laugh it off.
If others wish to waste their energy and time bringing you down, they only end up bringing themselves down.

Yes if you want to have fiends in here hate Makosi

I remember when she was in BB last time and people posted on C4 that they didn't like her and the people who thought she walked on water were getting hysterical and their knickers in a right old twist.

Nothing has changed

Yes those were good times.  Not as intense as the Aislyene fans v Nikki fans, though.  BBGF become an out and out battle field!!

It became like if you loved a certain HM , some worshipped them You couldn't have a thing said about them, and the very thought of someone slagging them off and they took it as a very personal slight.
Also on the flip side, if you didn't like a forum member you made sure you needled their hm choice heheee ... not that i ever would.

You had to go in prepared

That was what it was like being a Josie supporter!

Yep and John James and in the past Ulrika and dare I admit it Noirin......................I fully accept that others have their own opinions but believe me when you back a minority - you come in for some stick!

if the stick that you took was all related to your fave HM fair dues. When it becomes personal - it's not nice.


IMO.

I like it here....that's all

Aww pretty, don't think it's personal, haven't seen anyone be nasty/personal to a Makosi fan? There was all sorts of personal stuff thrown at John James and Josie fans, and at people who didn't like Ben!

Oh, crap.
No-one in here has been persecuted for supporting Josie. Blizzie loves her, I don't like her, but we always agreed to disagree amicably.
Same with Makosi - we can all agree that some like her and some don't. It hasn't descended to anything like a war, and why should it?

But I do  remember that any of us who liked Aisleyne were called the worst kind of trash for doing so, which is why the Fakers started up, for safety in numbers.

Ditto for Darnell supporters......

Believe me, that also happened on occasion with Josie and John James fans Deman

Yup, we were all gangsta-drug-dealing-scum, rather than people who just liked a bloke who stood up for his mates and had a gift for the rhyme

I supported Aisleyne ..................but it wasn't really a minority group TBH. There were more than a few of us.

I  feel the animosity this year for supporting a minority has gone through the roof and often resorted in personal jibes.

Unfit parents with mental health issues, oops forgot the aggressive thugs label too.

I was there for Aisleyne - I was there foe Darnell .....................FGS I was there (almost) on my own for Noirin.

This year it got nasty. IMO

The most laughable post about Noirin imo was her being called fake for wearing false eyelashes one eviction night,if that determines fake most of this years female HM's were fake.

I liked Luke on C4.

Enjoyed backing Josie right to the end on here too.

darnell supporters really went through it, but that didnt stop them. the thread still being here after 2 years proves that, lovely people

Bless you darlo. I used to enjoy it ..............enjoyment sort of went out the window for me this year.

Maybe I've just become battle weary.

I supported Jason and Victor, Ziggy, Darnell and even Sezer

Can you imagine the flack I got for being the only one who liked Sezer

This place is extremely laid back and freindly compared to DS or even the old C4 forum at times!

the best fighting threads were the ones when michael jackson died-oooooh they got nasty

On Facebook some people dropped their friends if they dared speak ill of the 'King of Pop'!

I liked him too!!   But I didn't come on the forums til the back end of that BB...     If I'd have got here earlier we could have faced it together! 

Ditty and LL, you must be related to Sezer, they're the only people who liked him

nooooo!    my feelings for him would have been very very wrong if we had been related! 

  I thought I was all alone  

Glad that I wasn't the only Sezer supporter though

What Ditty just said

Worse if you supported JJ.
I admired Blizzie for her devotion to the Josie cause, she took some flack for that, but I hope that it was good humoured and nobody got personal. I don't like any HMs enough to attack people personally over their choice of HM, they're here today and gone tomorrow and as Nick says *It's only a game-show*.....full of desperate wannabes and never will bes

I found this year was the worse on the forum and I am an Aisleyne fan and Darnell fan  some posters did get personal,but the majority of on here are lovely and that is what keeps me here,as Kaytee above said.. Its only a game show they will be long gone and we will still be here

Some of the ignorance I've seen is shocking, tbh, especially when people are talking about their personal stuff or asking for help or advice. I've seen cancer and depression both scoffed at (along with other things). There's a time to have a laugh and a time when a little bit of tact and maturity wouldn't go amiss.

People need to think before they post sometimes.

I miss the trolls 

I was an Aislyene fan, so my skins hard now  Yes i know i have spelt her name wrong , had a 2 year old today so my brains numb!   No i dont like Makosi , so there   Dont worry machel BB will be over soon and we will all be back to normal , well some of us anyway

They were hilarious!!

Or dare I say it .................Madeliene McCann.

Good post hoochie,

We all have our moments and I'd say this forum is pretty non-confrontational and friendly, although we all can get the wrong end of the stick either by accident or design at times. 

I post a lot on a current affairs forum similar to the old C4 forum and as my views tend to go against the consensus, I often get it in the neck but don't mind as Ican always walk away or carry on fighting.  Either way, no one's really hurt. 

One of the things to be weary of on a forum is not to give the trolls too much ammunition by divulging too many personal feelings and details that may be used as a stick to beat you with.
