"One thing I've noticed is the insane amount of hypocrisy on this board."

Translation.... there's a whole lot of hypocrisy on this board. I was pretty sure I made my point. I feel that many members here are hyprocritical in their way of talking about HGs.

"It's stuff like that that really annoys me about this board."

Put that sentence into the correct context. That "stuff" was further examples of when certain members on this board were being hyprocritical. And of course it's something that annoys me, that's why I made the most.

Karuuna, I truly do not see how I could have been any more diplomatic in my posts. My intent in this thread was never to win friends, nor to influence people, it was to point out something that I consider to be detrimental to this board.

ok, i deserved that spanking.
it ws my first, but i am a quick learner.

so, i'll repost my original thoughts on the subject:

oh, come on, give us a break, please. the whole premise of bb (to me) is about gossiping and who can do it best without getting caught, with a few that try to play moderaters, not the moderators of the board.

we are just mimicking the show and playing with wit.

i find this to be a mild and happy board overall.

And, Robhal, who are you to come waltzing by the board and pronouncing that many of us are hypocritical?

I try to be a nice person, but you've really got to remove your head from your @ss. It helps one to think clearly.

Robhal, I was the one who posted: "I, for one, find it interesting that Robhal posted an inflammatory message and then disappeared into the woodwork. And, in fact, proceeded to do to us (the BB fans) what he claimed we were doing to the BB HGs."

In your orignal post, you wrote: "For example, just a while ago, I was reading a post saying something along the lines of "I can't believe the way ChiWhora acts. She's so mean," etc... You know what I'm talking about, it's all over the board. Well can't you see the hyprocrisy in that? There are members here who are acting the same way they are criticizing Chiara for acting! To tell you the truth, from what I've seen, I personally think that Chiara would be above something like calling someone ChiWhora... "

Really? Do you still believe that? After watching or hearing how she acts? How she will use any excuse to turn any discussion into a vulgar discussion of sex. How she prostrated herself on the DINING TABLE (for pete's sake) and claimed that she was dinner. I won't even go into the final comment she made about her "center." How she so gracefully described the removal of an article of feminine hygiene yesterday? How she just walked in to a room and started talking about that removal, in a very vulgar and crass way?

I can critize Chiara because I do not act in a vulgar way. Nor do I talk about sex all the time. I think (and I am ENTITLED to my opinion) that Chiara acts like a wh0re; she even refers to herself as a wh0re. Are we not entitled to refer to her by those very names she applies to herself?

And finally, you posted something late Wednesday night. And then disappeared until Thursday night. Yet you claim you do not have time to monitor THIS board, but you are a moderator on another board. Fine. Whatever.

I feel that you are the pot calling the kettle black. I am entitled to my opinion. If you don't like what you *perceive* to be bashing here (and I do not agree with your statements), why are you here? If you enjoy catching up by reading the LFs, why are you reading the discussion threads? Why are you even starting an inflammatory thread?

Detrimental to this board? This board has survived a hell of a lot in the last three years and has survived and thrived!!! Ain't nuthin we doing that is detrimental to this board unless your AS and are considering shutting this means of communication out....lol...but I doubt that.
And...if your post wasn't ment to influence people...then why write it? Seems a waste of energy to me.

Rob, this board consists of people who are fans of Reality TV and current events. We aren't JUST BB fans. If you look around, you'll see many areas to post.
Where is your board? I'd love to see this intellectual Heaven.

Wow, seems like people are getting harsh again.

He is stating his opinion, right or wrong, he has that right.

Everyone else is stating their opinion, right or wrong, they have that right.

Let's move on and discuss BB.

Abigail, Rob knew he would debate the issue when he posted. I don't believe he is that sensitive.

Robhal - Maybe you didn't want to win any friends. But you wanted to make a point apparently. A point that no one's taking much note of, eh? I'll say it again. Read the book. Then you'll see what was wrong with your approach.

Well..he's entitled to his opinion..just as I am entitled to mine..

I love this board..everything about it..it's why I keep coming back year after year..best message board I have ever participated in..whether it's BB or any other topic of discussion that I am passionate about..

Now..IMHO..if you don't like this board then I say to you "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!"

Rob, I agree with a lot of what you said. We all do have our favorites though. Most of us tend to get on the bandwagon for those we like while finding fault in the ones we don't want to win. I am in the minority here most of the time.

I like Chiara. I didn't much care for Amy. For the most part I would like for Gerry and Josh to go. After that I will just have fun watching.

LOL Zachsmom! You said that ever so much more eloquently than I did with my little

If you don't like what you *perceive* to be bashing here (and I do not agree with your statements), why are you here?

ROTFL... (and landed where the good Lord split me!)

Well Costacat..I like message boards and have participated in different types of forums..if I am uncomfortable and don't like the way things are run or moderated..I leave..I don't post a message saying why I am leaving nor do I leave a message saying they have it all wrong and others should behave the way "I" think they should..just like any other area of my life..If I don't like it I leave..

and I have yet to find a bruise on my delicate hiney..

Twig, I'm LMBO at your post! You're quite witty! I love this.

Robhal, I suppose if you have enough time to moderate TWO large 'net message-boards, you might contact the administrator(s) of TVCH and ask to be allowed to be a moderator here. If you do that, we'll abide by your moderation. Otherwise, we'll ignore--or flame--your posts, just like we do any other "regular" post-er who tries to moderate the board. It's just not our job to moderate. The moderators do that.

This post offered with lots of love!

This is stating to get fun... ;)

"And, Robhal, who are you to come waltzing by the board and pronouncing that many of us are hypocritical?"

Well, this bulletin board is open to anyone, and anyone is entitled to post his or her own opinion here, if I'm not mistaken. I came here and I did just that. If anything, I believe that I have a somewhat more objective point of view seeing as though I'm not a regular poster here, and I don't have the same love for the community here that most you undoubtedly have. I realize that my original post probably did seem very condescending, but it wasn't my intention for it to appear that way.

"I can critize Chiara because I do not act in a vulgar way."

I totally agree. You can criticize Chiara all you want. That is not my point.

"I think (and I am ENTITLED to my opinion) that Chiara acts like a wh0re"

Once again, I agree. You have your opinion and you're definitely entitled to it.

"Are we not entitled to refer to her by those very names she applies to herself?"

If you back up your opinion, and you state that you personally think that she is a wh0re, you're definitely entitled to do that. I'm not condeming that. If you just go around in every post calling her ChiWhora just cause, then I don't think that's appropriate because that's not really posting your opinion, that's just a way of flaming her. I realize that she has referred to herself as that, but more so in a joking manner, whereas the intent of some posters who call her that is just to put her down.

"If you don't like what you *perceive* to be bashing here (and I do not agree with your statements), why are you here? "

Well, there is a lot more here.... I think this board is great, and I'm just focusing on one thing here.

"Why are you even starting an inflammatory thread? "

Once again, I don't believe how my thread is truly inflammatory. You claim that your entitled to criticize whoever, and that's fine, but can't you take a little criticism?

"Detrimental to this board? This board has survived a hell of a lot in the last three years and has survived and thrived!!! "

I'm sure it has, and I'm sure it will continue to do so. I wasn't saying that this was going to destroy the board, I was merely stating that I believe that it was detrimental to the quality of discussion on the board.

"And...if your post wasn't ment to influence people...then why write it? "

To express my opinion and to see what type of response I would get.

"We aren't JUST BB fans. If you look around, you'll see many areas to post."

Oh, I know that and I lurk in many other places too... I think I even posted before in the TAR forum and No Boundaries forum.

"Where is your board? I'd love to see this intellectual Heaven."

Oh, it's far from an intellectual haven... actually, The Neutral Zone draws some very interesting debates, but if your interested, you can visit it at www.trekbbs.com. A little over fourteen thousand members registered, probably a few thousand truly actives members. Mine own forum is The Next Generation, a very nice forum. ;) A thing with the TrekBBS though is that there aren't too many reality TV fans, other than the ones who discuss BBUK sometimes.

BTW, it was never my intent to play moderator here or to try and revolutionnize the way things work here.
Back to my point, if someone said something like: "He is so stupid for calling her stupid." Yes or no, do you not believe that that is hypocritical?
