Muttley | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 09:39 am     To add to the record: I wasn't posting to you, just you, or to just any one poster at all. I based my comments (about lawsuits, listening to the feeds, etc) on several things I have read in this thread and others. For example, just now, I read (in another thread) where one poster said that the b*tch comments was said TO Elena. They were not. They were said ABOUT Elena. But distinctions color what we feel and think, and I grow weary of seeing people comment on something controversial or inflammatory and then say "Oh, hey-- does anyone know where I can find that conversation?". Several of us watch the feeds, and they are documented here, but with both editorial slant of posts and outright distortion to suit a possible agenda, you can see how things turn into something more sinister than they are. Take, for example the comments about Jack. I say the hg himself wouldn't have a problem with the relating of a dream where he was mentioned as a molester. This is a guy who dressed as a strawberry and wrung jello from his (and others) body. He seems self-aware and also cognizant of human nature. He KNOWS Ali and Jun, remember. I'm sure he gives them both full credit for the weight that comment carries. Anyway, no, I wouldn't be in a position to find their musings threatening. I did, however, find Robert and Jee to be a constant source of discomforting statements-- to the point where I thought it maybe best that Robert was away from his impressionable, hero-worshipping daughter. I'm not worried about your intelligence. You grasped what I meant, I know. |
Lorry | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 09:48 am     I have the LFs and heard both women denounce Robert, Elena, his parents, and their being Cuban. Not once, not twice, but many times. I am beginning to believe the TVClubHouse has taken on the same tactics as CBS... allowing certain posters to follow other posters around and insult them. What is that about? Bigger threads? More controversy? Yes, I have seen Lancecrossfire reprimand the same poster over and over. I know posters that no longer post because of these trolling tactics.. but yet TVClubHouse continues to allow that particular poster to continue their bashing of other posters on this board. How many times must a poster be reprimanded for bashing the other posters, until they are not permitted to post on these boards? |
Lorry | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 09:51 am     By the way Muttley, you are NOT the poster that I was saying that Lancecrossfire has reprimanded. I wanted to clear that up so as not to offend you. |
Gidget | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 09:56 am     If you haven't been reprimanded, at least once, you are denying your potential. {Run back to your corner and hide gidget.} |
Chippy | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:00 am     I agree, Steveh. About the Cuban thing Ali said. Let me see if I can explain what I was told when I posted the same thing... Ali just meant that she'd be embarrassed to be Cuban because of how embarrassing Robert was in the house and he represents Cubans. BTW, this is not an excuse- only an explanation. If that holds water, I guess I hate being a white woman. LMAO. Being a new poster, I can identify with your feelings on that matter. Thankfully, the majority of posters here are just plain nice and I certainly have gotten my share of laughs. Others have made me rethink my position on one thing or another. So, all and all, I think it's a great board. I enjoy your posts. |
Crossfire | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:02 am     Mmmm, that is an interesting take Chippy. That does for me put the statement in a different light. If that is accurate, then my previous statement on the matter shall be considered null and void. |
Muttley | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:04 am     's okay, Lorry. I knew it couldn't be me. I would have noticed. LOL I'm no regular here, and I don't know which poster supports which hg, or who is typically on what side. I just know what I have read here in the past couple of days, and it all seems so .... as I said earlier.... overwrought. I also want to point something out: the ads running right now to solicit BB5 participants seem to highlight the very behavior that has caused so much dissention here (and elsewhere). We get Erika drawling sexily "Everyone loves the bad girrrrrrrl", and they show us (among other things)Jun snapping nastily, an Ali lap dance, and a patented AliSnark. No one at CBS or the BB production seems to find fault here, do they? It's to be encouraged. I'd say if people such as this are such a turnoff (and face it-- they are) there's nothing going to be done any time soon to stop it. |
Chippy | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:04 am     Almost forgot... not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the live feed posters are incredible here. My hat's off to all of them. |
Lostintheglades | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 12:41 pm     "If that holds water, I guess I hate being a white woman." LMAO Chippy....and welcome! |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 12:59 pm     I'm still wondering who Lorry is talking about. |
Chippy | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:10 pm     Hey Woodpecker! Those combovers can make anyone into anything. There ought to be a law against them. LMAO... Another thought... Am I the only one that doesn't believe Jun ever had a dream about Jack being a child molester? Yeah, I think she made it up. I just do. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:12 pm     I'm laughing because I don't have hair loss. If I did, I'd never comb it over. I agree, a law is needed. Ha! |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:16 pm     Actually, my profile pic looks like I'm wearing a "hat helmet" instead of real hair. Maybe I have violated a law myself. |
Alinthehouse | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:21 pm     My uncle had a hair flap. As a child, I use to wonder if the wind hit it just right - would it stand straight up? Uncle's flap was 8 to 10 inches long. I have to giggle at the thought. |
Chippy | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:23 pm     Well, since we're sharing... I dated a guy for a few months many years ago and everyone was curious as to whether he had a hair piece or not. I honestly didn't know (but thought so too), never asked, and was afraid to touch "it". Sheesh. Then, I grew up! |
Alinthehouse | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:29 pm     Could you imagine running your fingers through someone's hair and having their hair in your hand? Yikes!!! |
Spike763 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:45 pm     Ali and Jun did at one time want to persuade the rest of the house that Jack was a big pervert and couldn't stay away from them. Ali stated that she was going to fake crying, scream, and state that Jack was trying to molest her. this all occurred about a month ago, prior to Jack leaving. I remember reading these in the live feeds. May be difficult to locate, but they ARE there. Jun was in with her on this one. |
Jbfrommi | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:47 pm     I remember hearing that too, Spike763. At the time I thought, how low can ya go! |
Spike763 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:50 pm     if i remember right, she just didn't like jack and wanted him out, so she decided to start using this tactic to get the other houseguests to dislike him also. |
Spike763 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:52 pm     and THIS is why Jun blames Ali for her dream about Jack, since Ali put this into Jun's head |
Jbfrommi | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 01:52 pm     I think you're right. I guess she thought that's how you play the game. |
Nexell2 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Does anybody find it odd that this much attention is being paid to Alison for so long a time? This might work out very well for Alison in the long run. |
Avrey258 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 02:13 pm     Why are people complaining in the LF thread about not putting Ali's nasty comments there? I don't see why the truth can't be posted there. They are the live feeds after all. It was suggested that the live feed posters come to the Ali debate thread and put them here? If someone posts something here that wasn't in the LF thread there are always complaints that it never happened because it wasn't posted in the live feeds. Catch-22. I say if it happened, post it. Let the people who read it decide. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 02:16 pm     Nexell, how would the attention from this board work out well for Alison in the long run? |
Carrie92 | Monday, September 22, 2003 - 02:22 pm     I saw that too Avrey. So, what? If the houseguests can't talk nice, don't post anything at all? DUH! The wonderful live feed posters here are only posting what IS ACTUALLY BEING SAID on the live feeds. Please tell me that poor thing who complained doesn't actually believe the Ali and Jun she sees on TV ?!? I actually think that person may be confused. I think she thinks it is a highlight thread. Not actual, real time posting as it happens. I wanted to tell her that, but didn't want to get in trouble for posting in that thread. |
