I have been here for a few years and just want to say that there is not a better board anywhere. I don't see much difference now than when I first started, except that I am now not as touchy as I used to be and I try real hard to keep it easy going.

I have been to victim of snipes.
I have been the sniper.
I have been envolved in disagreements.
I have been ignored.
I have been an ignorer.(is that a word)
I have been the peacemaker.
I have been the joker.

I think what we all have to realize is that everyone has there days when everything bugs them just a little more and days when everyone is a little more touchy. Sometimes it is also a little hard to get your message accross and people may think you are being nasty when you are trying to be funny, or being sarcastic when you are trying to be sincere. I have apoligized more than once for unintentional insults and I have felt insulted when none was intended. We just have to sit back and Chill. This board is not perfect, nor are its posters (except me)lol, that was a joke, but I would wager it is the closest thing to perfect anyone is going to find on the internet.

Anyway, have a nice day. I am going to.

I hate to say it - but this board always gets this way in the last week or two of BB. Remember all the fighting about Nicole?

Last year I had all sorts of people blasting me personally around the Danielle issues.

Anyway - this place is really great - but tempers, bashing, etc always flares at the end of BB. I guess it is just easier to forget and remember all the nice stuff. (And nice stuff definately outweighs the bad!)

Yup... I even don't mind it when people post preachy things and then tell you not to bother responding because they won't be around to read them. I find the whole display very entertaining! I think I understand how Alison feels amongst all those b1tchfights at the beauty pageant now.

Uh oh, I've made a terrible mistake. I didn't know I was supposed to take all this personal and seriously.

Sex. Religion. Politics. Big Brother!

Some topics are just BOUND to create controversy, and it should be expected. As posters, we have all agreed to abide by the rules, but if/when we purposely OR inadvertently cross lines, our moderators are here to keep things on track. There seems to be a connection between what's going on in the BB house and the emotional fervor here on the board...when our pet hamsters are getting edgy and tense, sensitivities and passions are more evident in many posts, in my opinion (anyone ever track the number of moderated posts relevant to BB activity? Just curious.)

No matter what one poster writes, it's likely there will be others who heartily agree, and just as heartily, disagree :). We learn from each other, we help each other, we gripe with each other, and we share our enjoyment or aggravation of this TV show along the way. Even with the predictable and expected periods of 'heightened sensitivities', TVCH is still THE place to come and post if you are a fan of BB.

Thanks to ALL the posters here. You always give me something to laugh about, fume about, think about, or care about. Not too shabby a return for sharing views on a little TV show, huh?!

I can't believe that this convo/fight gets to stay on here and isn't deleted. Someone jumped down my throat about a joke I made and every post was deleted..

Worst thing about it is that someone basically bashed all of us. Not only did they get away with it, but tried to talk their way out of it, while making our "defender(s)" look like they were wrong..

That's the type of person who can hide behind a monitor and act like a fool.. I can't count that high of a number of these type antagonists online.. I'm turning the tables now- You make me sick! *rasberrys*

anyone who wants to be offended and draw a little drama for him/herself can easily construe such offense into anything posted here. evidently. lol!

If I could, I'd steal your 'l', 'o', and '!' keys. It would make 90% of your posts easier to take in silence. With the 'm', and 'a', it would go up to about 98%.

Fair...what a misconstrued word..

IN MY OPINION..Added..So I don't get b**ch slapped!!

FAIR..does not mean everyone gets the same thing. Fair means everyone gets what they need.

Is it fair that I work and pay huge taxes, while someone else collects welfare?..YES IT IS, because that person collecting welfare needs it to survive.

Is it fair that some kids get special help in school while others don't?..YES IT IS, because without it the children who need it and don't get it would be unsuccessful.

Is it fair that Robert got to see his daughter and the others didn't? YES IT IS, because the child needed it.

I would never hold a game in more reverence than the needs of a child. These are not sit-com actors they are real people and that child's need should come before anything game or not.

"I will not return to this thread, so no reason to fire off any response." Since my fingers have been broken by this sentence, I guess I'll just say "Ok, thank you for shopping at your friendly Walmart store."

"YES IT IS, because the child needed it." Umm? Should I or shouldn't I? That is the question. Yeah, I think I'll knock this one out of the park. If the child NEEDED to see her Dad, he didn't NEED to be on a game show for almost 3 months. Home run.

I don't think it's fair that Woody is allowed to have special symbols in his name.

I am also gravely offended by Angelsluv's use of multiple question marks in her post. I think it's a flagrant waste of punctuation. There are kids in Africa who don't even have a single comma.

uh, nothing in your post reflects anything at all about fairness, since fairness DOES mean everyone is treated equally. what you've described is compensation for the face being the world isn't a fair place, and, therefore, our society cannot treat its citizens with fairness and still be a civilized, compassionate society. the child's only 'need' evidently was for her dad to care more about her than his selfish pursuit of fame and fortune. no one else in the world besides her parents owes that child a single thing until she's a full-fledged and legal adult. besides, her dad treated her worse than anyone on the show. ali and jun clearly were referring to robert, not elena, in their b***h remarks and no one but robert caused her the trauma and separation anxiety she evidentl suffered. get real. bring the child on a trip to a strange place in a broadcast/sound studio (a scary place for anyone not familiar with the environment) to exploit the 'moment' on tv (with robert's blessing - they couldn't have done it legally otherwise) was the lowest form of child abuse - the kind committed for an adult's selfish interest.

You people have no heart!lol (would have used 2 exclamation points, but don't want Bastable to accuse me of being wasteful) and where did you come from Wood, I thought you were at Walmart handin' out carts? Stop raining on my damn parade!

Well, if there's gonna be a butt-tossing, can we get a little head's up please? I have quite a busy day today and need some notice so I can work it into my schedule. Thanks!
