I don't disagree with you Wcv. They did put themselves out there. And you are right it would be moderated. But, even you have to admit that there are a more than a few posts that are similar in nature. The purpose of their conversation was to bash/sling insults toward another member of the house. There is a huge difference in discussing/debating someones strategy and game, (which is the part of the board that I love and keeps me here) and writing a post to state that you "hate" someone. There are many healthy debates going on around the board that bring up good and valid points and are the reason that we come back each night. But, there are also a number of posts that are doing just what marc and amy are doing now, using less vile unmoderated language.

I think Marcellus's continuous and mean-spirited bashing of Gerry is simply an example of the old adage that "no good turn goes unpunished". Gerry did him a favor and vetoed him (and no one else has had the balls to veto anyone) and all Marcellus has given him in return is hate.

Avery, I respect your opinion but had you listened to what Marc and Amy were saying you would know that no one on this board has EVER said such vile and horrid things. No one has begged for the death and painful destruction of another houseguest right down to the pus and guts.

If anyone did that on this board they would be kicked off the board.

Amy & Marci seem to have the two most fragile egos in the game. If they were to overhear a tiny fraction of what they say about the others, being said about them... well, I can only imagine the reaction, and it's not a pretty site in my mind's eye.

Seems to me, someone should needle-point the old golden rule onto something and heave it over their fence to them. They could all stand being reminded of it about now. especially the house's 2 prima-donna.

marce used to be my very favourite--above jason even. he made me laugh and smile just about every time i saw him on the show. i forgave him some of his more 'pointed' humour and observations...but, i am really upset with his behaviour now. the 'show' marcellas is definitely not the 'feeds' marcellas now. i am really upset.

I used to love Marcellas- I found him funny, warm, and interesting. I actually wanted him to win! As of tonight, hearing him hit an all time low of cruelty with Amy I want him OUT....but not yet. I'd like to see him go after Roddy and Amy. I frantically tried to change feeds to get away from it.

I agree with Wcv63....no one on this board has been that mean, here is a direct quote of some of what Marc was saying that I posted in another thread:

Gerry just got called to the DR and marc immediately start calling him a fat a*** prison b***, fat B****, Marc would choke the god dam life out of that b*** if given a chance


meanwhile amy is laughing her a** of the whole time....i wonder if this is being put on an anti- Marcelus web site right now


Pretty harsh....they continued on to talk about they hoped he would drop dead of a stroke and get caught between the DR doors and sufficate

Don't think anyone would post such malicious statements as those!

I really hope that they do a segment about their nasty little gossip times on the show, so that the viewers who don't see the feeds can see beyond the cute friendship that has been shown so far. By the way this is not the first time Amy has joked about violence, she used to talk about injecting Chiara in her sleep with Marc's alohol, to kill her so she could have some time with Roddy-charming girl!

Marcellas has become so bitter and nasty this week. That side was always there, but it seems to have gotten worse now that Amy's back.

Oh, and so much for the "new and improved" Amy.

Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy take things and find humor in them. they don't make humor off of someone and wish them death.

i love Chris rock and Eddie Murphy. i have seen all of the specials and even Chris live.

this is different. this (to me) is a way to make them feel better. they are corrupted when it comes to grace and love and caring and respect.

they're just feeling self pity cause amy didn't get the unanimous vote for chiara that chiara got for amy.

I see Avery's point. It's not the vileness (a la "die Gerry die, mwa ha ha") so much as the sentiment. There are some pretty harsh sentiments on this board at times. Just because people don't (or can't) say something as malicious as "I wish this HG would have a heart attack and die, mwa ha ha" doesn't mean that their sentiments are any purer when they tone it down.

Mean spirited things are said sometimes around here. That's what Avery's getting at, and I agree. Let's use Marcellas as an example of how not to behave, shall we? :)You don't have to love 'em, but don't diss 'em to death. Gee whiz.

I used to want Marcellus to take it to the top, but after hearing his hurtful and HATEful comments about Gerry - he can't leave soon enough.

So happy to see this thread and that I'm not alone. Hearing their hammock tirade absolutely disgusted me to no end. These two self-righteous, self-centered, self-absorbed little twits do not in any way deserve to win this game AT ALL. Tonight's vile display was the icing on the cake for me. I will never like them again.

It just occurred to me that alcohol brings out the worst in both of them. I knew that about Amy, of course, but I hear it in him also tonight. And Amy just opened a bottle of wine for herself (noone wants any but her). Look out!

Gouraphik I still maintain that the difference is that we are discussing behaviors whereas they are denigrating the person without having any provocation whatsoever.

This wasn't a "I hate when Gerry (fill in the blank). This was a downright nasty attack brought on by hearing the man's name called into the DR.

I look at the HGs' hyperbole this way. They are players in a game show, just like people can be players in a football game. In a football game, you can hit and tackle people in a way that would get you arrested in the outside world. But *within the boundaries of the game* such otherwise out-of-character behaviour is not only allowed, but encouraged. Marcellas and Amy, or more precisely, the personas they're projecting on BB3 (which may or may not be their normal ones), are only answerable to the producers of BB3 whose game it is. They do not have to answer to our norms or even the norms of civilized, polite society -- just as those linebackers don't in the NFL.

JMHO.

Said this in another post but it bears repeating:Why did I ever for one second think that having Amy back in the house would be a good thing? She really brings out the worst in Marce. I'm not saying that's her fault but she does. He is a very mean, hateful person. I cannot believe that he thinks himself so superior to so many people. Amy telling him how so many people like him out here only made it worse.

Wake up call to Marcie: We used to love you when you were funny. We don't love you when you are a vile, mean, hateful person! Get over yourself and tell your little sidekick when don't think she's cute either!

Oh my! Quite a little rant I had there! LOL!

Ok, again I do not disagree with you, I have not seen anyone say something as nasty as they did tonight that wasn't moderated. But are we then saying that if they were sitting in the hammock tonight calling Jason a "jerk", a "pompus ass", saying "I hate him","he was sooooo arrogant","he is a bully and a lout" that is ok? That isn't petty, bitter or mean?

this "all time low of cruelty" that everyone speaks of that marcellas has now hit...

this is how i felt when he said the story with lots of laughter about his friend in the mid-west not being able to sell rubbing alcohol to american indians because they were all drunkards. there r still signs on bars there that say no dogs or indians. :-(

imagine PLEASE if this was said about a caucasian from the south who didn't hire african americans due to their education being inferior. i use this scenario because i saw it on one of the real world episodes and people went ballistic. one girl and guy cried.

so, i am NOT surprised by his behavior tonight at all. this is what i expected.

and, would like to add that it did hurt my heart when this went on and unnoticed. but, i know also that mostly everybody in here didn't mean it that way.

WOW! I never thought anything would make ROddy move up on my list! Well tonight's sad exchange between Marcie & Amy put him well above the two of them.

I cannot believe how vile that whole scene was. I really hate that Gerry's family might have to see that. Someone needs to smack the crap out of Marcie and remind him if weren't for Gerry his butt would be back in Chicago by now!

Still in shock over the pure meaness!

As far as how people comment on the board, most of us comment on a players strategy and behavior. That is why there are the feeds.

However, I have NEVER read a post that even came close to the vitriol that just spilled out of the mouths of Amy and Marcellas.
