I'm fine Eileen thanks. Just this bliddy weather getting me down. Had a power cut last week for 2 days.

Hope it doesn't strike 3 times.

No I was surprised at the

posts about one partner and so I showed how this would be if on the other foot.

I didn't bring up the discussion but wanted it to be balanced.

I'm actually a supporter of BOTH

but it shows the reactions of certain posters if one partner is discussed rather than the other

As far as I could see there weren't any double standards from you. Everyone was discussing a tweet that Josie had sent about Luke so the discussion was all on topic and nothing nasty said about Luke at all.

Good point. I do like John, but would not even think of looking at her facebook.

It is irrelevant to talk about balance, and I don't even think it is in the terms and conditions of an appreciation thread.

Obviously Josie tweets a lot, lot more than John. So does that mean every time Kaye posts a copy of Josie's tweet, she then has to find an old tweet of John to post to balance it out. No of course not - that would be ridiculous.

So naturally there is going to be a lot more talk about Josie than John.

That's the way it is for the time being, and not a lot anyone can do about.

Ok no problem - I will look forward to your future posts appreciating both Josie and John

Never a truer word spoken. Your post is exactly how I see it. If there was more news on John we could talk about him more, and we would

Oh no Welshy, I always just ask for a tidy up and then trim it myself if it gets too long in between cuts. Evening

Seriously? You don't see this....

Your words fall on deaf ears. There is no comprehension of the hypocrisy. It's sad really.

I would look back to Old Girl's post from this weekend and you may find the most balanced, fair post of someone who is not involved in anything on this thread, it mentions this topic.

I don't know how a grin constitutes a remark - but as I said Ferfer this is the JJJAT and we appreciate them both as individuals, not the JJSAT or the JLAT - enough said and I would not want to talk about girl on here either - which I have made quite clear in all my previous posts

Yes, but the POINT is that Luke is mentioned on here in negative ways and 1. you post 3 grinning faces. That is showing approval for the post. Please don't try to tell me it doesn't.

And 2. Sherrie is mentioned and that's not allowed.

LOL, it's hypocrisy. Plain and simple. The exact same when Josie is talked about negatively here constantly and it's okay and expressing an opinion. But if John is, people jump down the poster's throat.

I seriously think some people need to take a step back. Just because "group think" is in place, doesn't mean the group's thoughts are right.

I have to be honest how can you appreciate two people if you don’t appreciate their current partners, you can STILL appreciate them BOTH. I believed the posts were sarcastic and I wanted to show what would happen if it was done the other way around. I think I proved what would happen and DID. As an outsider and a new poster it’s very obvious when this happens and so I wanted to point this out. Its no big deal but you really don't appreciate them both if you pull their partners apart IMO.

Ferfer has fought a lone battle at times and I am ashamed to say I sat and watched it as she was questioned time and again about why she comes on the JJJ thread when she supports Josie.

My earlier post was mainly ignored or dismissed quickly so I state again that in my opinion because John has tweeted the Shania song before and deleted it, it is far more likely the quote is from that song then any other. He has also not been shy on more then one occasion to tweet references to domestic violence and imply there was more to it and he is happy for people to believe this about Josie. I have no doubt that in his sheltered spoilt [his words] upbringing a thrown lipstick was viewed as an act of violence however to browbeat,argue and talk someone down is perfectly acceptable and not seen as mental and emotional torture. He admitted himself in BB that he upset his father when he argued with a family friend who was visiting and his own mother locked herself in the toilet to escape his constant arguing. Thankfully there are still people out there who believed he pushed Josie to her limit, was it wrong to throw something at him, yes but It's equally wrong to be constantly drained by someone who is argumentative and very clever with words and actions.Johns actions and words since the split have had far more implications for Josie then her words and actions about him.She has never implied she has come right out and said what she thought.His perception of domestic violence differs from mine and others who have suffered true acts of violence. It is cruel and unfair of him to allow the perception to continue by the use of cleverly chosen songs,quotes and winks!. He wanted to watch the wheels go round but what he has done is left 162,000+ followers sitting on a bus whilst he pops off the bus to watch the wheels go round only occasionally popping back on when it suits him.He uses twitter as a weapon of communication a bit like Josie uses her column. The difference is people on here refuse to see wrong in John and make every excuse under the sun to justify his actions whilst not even attempting to disguise the fact that they do not offer Josie the same courtesy........ Its nice to see that there are still a few people that see the elephant in the room and are not afraid to challenge when need be.Of course you like I will be dismissed as haters [which I can assure you I am not] this is an open forum and I cannot sit and see John painted as a saint He was as guilty as Josie was of ending that relationship but not once has he accepted any of the blame. I watch and loved the JJJ romance I believed it would last but it didn't. Sometimes in life you fall in love deeply with someone who is meant to be in your life for only a short time. This is what happened with JJJ instead of accepting this they both become bitter about the break up and it consumed their happy memories of each other.I do believe Josie has put it behind her and found someone that makes her happy i hope the same for John. I also hope that sometimes people would not be so judgemental about Josie and accept that sometimes johns actions are not as innocent as you make them out to be.Its time to notice the elephant in the room and not dismiss it as if it wasn't there!

I read this thread every day and in the main love all of your posts but times I have been angry at negative comments made about Josie. I understand that she has remained in the limelight therefore there is more to talk about Josie then John. However when there has been times that Johns actions could make interesting debate the conversation is nipped in the bud and posters like ferfer and thumbsucker etc are run out of town!

I bid you goodnight I promise I will not post again please do not label me hater or troublemaker simply a member of DS who happens to disagree with some opinions on here.

I have an appreciation of what was once but is now no more”

I wish people would read this with an open mind. This poster is not one who has any preconcieved notions of anyone. What she posted is spot on...

...as it's happening again today.
