I tend to discount Wikipedia when researching as its well known for its inaccuracies, however in this instance I thank you both and I stand corrected.

My point still stands that Mrs Pankhurst wasn't the woman to meet her death under the hooves of the kings horse and I would be interested to know if Capt. Shoegazer would show as little respect to those responsible for winning voting rights for the common working man, or would he prefer to live in a society where only the aristocracy had a say in how the country was run?

The double standards of some posters quite often leaves me shaking my head in disbelief. When challenged on their posts they use the age old "its a publc forum I can post where I like" yet pull other posters to pieces for exercising that right.

And we wonder why Doctor Who fans have a bad reputation.

Surely, he played the doctor for 4 years, so we can still discuss him?

I've never posted on there and I haven't read through that thread. However, what I read about Amy and her crack must surely be considered to be along the same lines of distateful leechery. ... or do we have double standards now. Don't get me wrong I don't care either way, but I do care if people are hypocritical (I'm not saying you are hypocritical as I don't remember if you ever posted such stuff about Amy).

On topic, surely these are a few nutcases amongst lots of David Tennant fans. Is it even worth getting hot and bothered about. I'm sure when Moffat and Matt Smith leave we will have the same thing.

I support that, it's not very respectful to other posters and there is no proof that any member on this forum has sent hate mail to Moffat.

It seems that because there is a David Tennant fan thread here some have taken it upon themselves to tarnish every female fan that has posted in that thread with the same brush as this one sad nutter that sent Sm the letter.

Pretty shameful and disrespectful to fellow forum members.


Still I suppose its Ok for male fans to drool over female companions.

Yes, it seem that it has become a bit of a witch hunt now (don't admit to being a David Tennant fan, after all he has only been the doctor for 4 years).

The bit in bold, that's exactly what I meant with double standards. Surely we don't live in Victorian England anymore, where men can pretty much do what they want and women aren't allowed to do anything.

Nah, it can't be 'cos there's miniskirts!

Damned, I need to listen better when it comes to history lessons. The question is though, are miniskirts an indication for the emancipation of women or are they just another excuse for men to leech over women.

That's been the burning question since the Sixties and the reason the old Star Trek looks so old!

I wouldn't be surprised if these might the same ladies who made nasty remarks
about poor Georgia Moffat because - gasp! - she had the audacity to be the actual girlfriend
of their David Tennant.

I wouldn't be surprised if those ladies were responsible for the cancellation of Doctor Who in 1985. Or the death of the electric car. Or Westlife.

They seem to be like the people you hear about from time to time who attack soap actors for something their character has done

Now hang on a minute, I understand the cancellation and the electric car, but Westlife. That's taking it a bit too far.

I meant it to be funny but it does explain somewhat why there is the babies thread for DT - though at 69 she's a game older lady. She might be better off introducing herself to Colin Farrell

I could go into some depth on this one but there are various views on whether she just intended to protest or to kill herself. She did have a return train ticket and a ticket for another event on her. She'd been involved in the Suffragette movement for some time.

Yes, you're right. I apologise.

Fair point. He should leave Mr Moffat alone. Who knew he was such a rabid fan?

There's a rather embarassing letter in the current Radio Times when this woman says
she wants "to sleep with David Tennant".

Shouldn't she be sending letters like that to, ahem, some other publications?

So the seventies are missed? Emmylou Bratwurst didnt get run over by a nag? and under no circumstances did anyone from this forum send a letter in green ink to Lord Moffat?

This has been informative thread! Thanks me

This is the type of discourse that has been promoted in the Da*ly Ma*l recently, regarding Amy Pond's dress sense.

Interesting to read about Emily Davison. I had always thought she intended to die, but evidence would suggest it may just have got a bit out of hand. What a way to go ...

Plus I find the casual connection some seem to be making between people that post in the "babies" thread on here with the kind of nutjobs that would send The Moff hate mail which I feel is rather uncalled for. They seem pretty harmless to me from what little I have seen of the thread.

its the "janto shippers" scenario all over again.
