Telling Magsiesss that she has a 'problem' for a start. Not liking someone isn't a problem - it's an opinion and she's entitled to it. Your comment was sarky and you know it.
And, you know, I find you repeating stuff that's laid out in the T and Cs to be a bit disrespectful because you're assuming we're all too stupid to have taken heed. If you don't like what people say or think, then complain to the mods - don't tell people they aren't welcome on here. ”
Edna,
thanks for at least taking the time to make clear what you thought was disrespectful about my post, even if there are a number of inaccuracies in your reply; no-one, let alone me, quoted T&C’s to magiesesss - you are perhaps thinking of this post by Elderflower where it was mentioned that should Cameron visit this forum he would be protected by the T&C’s – this is distinct from quoting them and in any case was not directed at any FM in particular):

I'd like the opportunity to chat to Cam so if he does come here I hope things remain "reasonably civilized"
”
Don't worry disnae, if he did join DS he would then be a FM and the site's T&C's would come into effect, just as they have before when other housemates became members.

Magiesesss, on the other hand, announced that she was incapable of remaining polite to Cameron should he visit:

If Cameron ever does start sprouting his crap here .... can somebody PM me ....
FM or not, I dislike the guy intensely .... and could not remain polite - so I would not visit this forum ... simple really .... DS BB forum would then become a lovey dovey fansite .... *sick smilie*
Something to be avoided by me at all costs ....
”
I’m quite within my rights to disagree with her on that position, and did so in a respectful way:

I think that's a sign you have a problem, not Cameron. Everyone is entitled to respect on here, and those who are not prepared to tolerate other FMs opposing views are not welcome in my book. ”
In my experience, when someone has to use a ‘I don’t have a good counterargument’ smiley (

), it’s generally because you’ve hit home with a valid point to which there is no good answer. Please don’t confuse that experience with being on the receiving end of disrespectful behaviour. If you feel I have indeed overstepped the bounds of accepted discussion you should take your own advice and report the offending post to the moderators, who will remove it if they see fit.
