Boberg maybe he is tortured. Maybe this will help him grow up some. A man his age shouldn't be on pretend online communities stalking pretend enemies. Hopefully this will help him grow up so to speak. He wants to bully people online anonymously while sitting behind the safety of a computer screen. This just might be the wakeup call he needs. Life is about real people and real situations. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, him being the one bullied, he will change his ways. One can only hope. I do not wish him harm or ill will. Just hope he can change his ways.

There are lots of adults who play various computer games online. Some of them involve working cooperatively to achieve a goal, some involve interaction with other players and some involve confronting "enemies". There is nothing abnormal about that. Some people even post on message boards. The only time I think it becomes abnormal is when someone takes it to a personal level outside the boundaries of the game or the online activity significantly impacts their personal lives in a negative way.

I reason I don't like Ronnie and his lies is that he is "mean-spirited". He seems to want to do damage, not just manipulate the game, which is what others have done.

Jimmer, have you seen Ronnie's video he made to apply for the show, Solitary? It's very revealing. Everything Ronnie tells the HG's he is NOT on BB, he actually IS and admits it in this tape. I don't feel Ronnie is being bullied right now @ all? The HG's (the ones who aren't naive) don't want to talk to him because he will put words in their mouths. Ronnie has been the bully in this year's BB. LOL, Flamingo..I was thinking the same thing as I read what Ronnie said.

I don't know if sympathy is the right word. I do have empathy for anyone who has become such an object of ridicule, whether it is through their chosen behavior or whether they just simply don't understand how the masses work. It's gotta be hard when so many people turn against you, without really knowing you. However, it can also be used for growth, and that is what I wish for Ronnie.

Not in the least. Not even a tiny bit. He admires Hitler? He condemned Casey (after that vile YouTube of HIS). He created lies and ruined the games of HG that could have made this season far more interesting and FUN. He made his bed, let him lie in it. And I do mean LIE!

No not at all. From what I have seen Ronnie has a distorted view of reality. I also do not like how he lies so easily and the fact that he constantly bashes the other houseguests. No one is that good an actor I think much of what we are seeing is the "true" Ronnie. I find him to be a thoroughly unlikable fellow.

Jimmer I absolutely agree. Many do enjoy those types of fantasy life games. I think anything in moderation is a good thing. Obviously Ronnie lacks the self control to moderate his time spent online. He is unemployed yes? His wife once left him because of this addiction yes? I thought that I had read that here on this message board. I am not dissing him for enjoying the game. However, it does concern me greatly that he is proud of the tactics he uses during this game and the amount of time spent playing the game. It just all seems shady.

I don't personally know Ronnie so my comments relate only to his game play. I don't care for the way he is playing the game so I am not rooting for him to win anything. I have no objection to strategy in the game but I find his actions/style beyond the pale. His personal life is all his own.

I think he is pitiful and pitiable. I don't know if he is capable of the social skills he needs to have to successfully navigate life. So, do I feel sorry for him? No. He gleefully hurts others and knows very well what it is he is doing. I do feel pity for him because he will probably never see himself the way he really is. He will continue to victimize others and then cry when he gets a taste of his own medicine.

Earlier today, in Russell's big "meeting" Ronnie was really aggressive toward Michele. Then later he was the same way again, yelling at her and nasty. He's not a nice guy. Dr. Will, at his worst, never spoke to anyone that way, Ronnie. I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Agree with what most are saying. Ronnie wants to claim that all his manipulations are gameplay, but that doesn't seem to be the case. He seems to honestly enjoy (and instigate) the most petty trashtalking. He admitted that he had a bad temper in his Solitary, and I can see that on the show. As for Dr. Will comparisons, Will was a much more upbeat, easygoing, positive personality. He was certainly no angel, but I found him much more likable than Ronnie. I hope Ronnie learns a lesson from the fan reaction, but I doubt he will. In any case, I don't feel sorry for him.
