To paraphrase Gandhi if you want to make a change be the best example of that change and others
will follow.

You're not an angel Observer, why don't you look back at some of the things you said about Aliona in particular "horrible woman", "why don't you go back home". Among other things.

I would say that would quality as "shameful or "nasty" to quote you. Wouldn't you.

Not to mention making personal remarks about forum members when they say something you don't agree with.

Before you lecture us, please start with your good self.

I did say horrible things about Aliona with her radioactive hair and custard. It was right after that so-called salsa, and her NOT owning up to her lousy choreography and just let Matt be mauled by the judges. Still, no excuses, I am not proud of it. But I still dread to see if indeed she might ruin Matt's chance by doing something completely ridiculous in their showdance ala puppetgate.

BTW, I am not doing this from a high horse, in other words, when I say no bashing, I include myself in the equation.

I did say in this thread that I am not suggesting we don't 'defend' or simply voice contrary opinions of the celebs esp. if we think posters are unnecessarily nasty towards them, one example would be the 'interesting' comments made by Doghouse Ridley about Matt being a petulant girl in a blouse based on a short clip of him rushing off to change for the swingathon.

I will continue to challenge him/her on it, seeing he/she is not applying the same rule to the pros or other celebs but is happy to apply it, it seems, solely on Matt.

I applaud your gumption (now there's an old word making a reappearance! I think I'll make that one my 'word of the day'!) in submitting yourself to that particular battle, SCDO! Don't let condescension win!

I like this thread - may I please join in all the jolly pink fluffiness? It rather matches my bedroom

And I love a good sing-song!
