Now you're telling me what I should post?

You're the one without manners, suggesting that my observations were "rot."

I'd not not previously commented on anything you'd said.

I guess you forgot that in the heat of the moment. You'll get the hang of it once you've been around the board for a while.

Oh! My mistake you have, even more surprising.

I stopped taking Bruno's a while ago under the same premise! I never took Alesha's and Len's this year, but Craig! He's always been honest, almost zealously! I take his version as gospel as he knows what he's talking about!

Is that really you Mr Waite?

No, not at all. Actually I was rather good at it which is why I have sufficient confidence in my opinion to disregard all the drivel you are spouting about there being some kind of conspiracy.

All I did in quoting your post was to point out that you were talking rubbish. As yet you have said nothing to convince me otherwise.

I think you'll find it was Ianswaiting who called your previous comment "rot", so, again, please learn some manners! You have a right to an opinion even if it's different to mine (especially if it's different, that's what makes it fun!) But an apology please! And less arrogance

Whatever.

I'm not looking to convince you, you can believe or say anything you like about any of the competitors, why should I care?

Whether you care or not, this is a debate- you can't just spit your toys out of the pram when someone disagrees!

Stop exaggerating.

i don't think its that, i think its because you come across as fairly dogmatic and more than a little unpleasant.

I'm still waiting for my apology for your attack earlier...

You've basically gone around insulting someone who has danced before, and someone who dismisses the idea of a conspiracy, when we put some substance to our observation you say "I don't care!"
That's a bit rich I must say!

For asking someone to stop being rude and arrogant when they attack my point of view under the mistaken belief I'd attacked theirs?
You're right, I'm a terrible, terrible person!

It isn't substance, it's an opinion, no more valid than mine.

As a Harry fan, I would just like to say that I am not actually wearing any rose tinted glasses nor have I been shouting about Harrys lack of a perfect score

I am perfectly happy with Harrys score tonight, he danced both dances brilliantly and he deserves to be top of the leader board

Perhaps YOU should take off your rose tinted glasses and stop assuming that ALL Harry fans are stamping their feet and complaining

Dama, I know it's close to the final and claws do tend to come out at this time of year. However, you're giving as good as you're getting, so until you're willing to tone down the argumentative slant to your posts, I don't think you should be "demanding" apologies from anyone.

Indeed not! All opinions are equal!

And yet you've proceeded to insult another member of the forum, and claimed you don't care that they've had previous dance experience...
So maybe let's focus on this equality a bit more!

I agree Olive. I thought it was a great show tonight and all the contestants did the best they could. They all seem to get on and support one another, even while wanting to come first. Maybe a lesson we could learn on these forums eh?

I, however, have not attacked another member of this forum's views openly and directly- only asked for them to be more respectful and moderate!

Let me refer back to my original post- I just want to enjoy the dancing and stop having people crying foul over the marking when I think the best dancers got the best scores, and yet we've had talks of tactics, favouritism and unfairness! This is what I'm sick to the back teeth of which is perhaps why I'm a tad zealous of my defence of Chelsee, Jason and Craig respectively!

I think hell would probably freeze over first before that ever happened

i don't think jason or chelsee deserved perfect scores, 39 would have been right. It makes me angry how dancers like kara did amazing dances in the semi's, and matt for his tango, yet dances like jason's and chelsee's get perfect scores!

With all due respect, I found your first post a bit "rich".

To say people shouldn't complain about the marking tonight is a bit much. People are entitled to their own opinions. I have no allegiance to any particular dancer in this competition, but I accept if I come on this board I am going to read things I don't necessarily agree with. I wouldn't tell anyone to stop contributting their opinions to a discussion.

I am not trying to be unfriendly here, but your tone could have rubbed people up the wrong way from your original post.

Well I agree, not ALL Harry fans are complaining, but there are a fair few of them spitting feathers! I agree, Harry was a lot more consistent than Jason, even if Jason had a singular better dance, and as such deserved to be above him in the leaderboard, However, people discussing conspiracies towards the 40s... it's a bit too much...

You're right, I know Some people seem to live for the drama of it, even in the midst of feigning offence.

Ok then, let me condense all my previous points down into something perhaps less contentious and more gentley toned: Why, when Jason and Chelsee did two absolutely fantastic dances do people have to taint them and the credibility of the judges because their favourite didn't receive the same high praise from 1 of the judges?!?! Not only that, but when Harry did 2 excellent dances (although not to the same standard as the Paso or AT respectively) we can't just say "good job Harry" rather than lynch Craig because he thought 2 dances were better?

they certainly do trying to make a mountain out of a molehill if you ask me

ummmmm.......because we disagreed with him.
