Thanks.

Not at all, I have enjoyed Kara, Jill and many others who were of a really good standard.

I can't take to Abbey at all, she's just a media attention seeking wag and she doesn't seem to have improved at all. Patrick I quite like and that's about it really. The rest have been overmarked all series, Sophie's going backwards, Ben just has to take his shirt off to get an 8/9, it's alll very disappointing.

I was only going by what was put in this thread hence saying it was an overreaction to what was posted which in my opinion it was purely in relation to the one comment. Fair enough if there has been other stuff in other threads report or state that as vile as I will agree that is nasty but to react to that comment seemed to be OTT when there had been no other obvious comments in this thread.

The offending post has been removed I copied and pasted it from the get well Natalie thread before it was removed. I understand why you though what you thought.

Why was it removed, I've been watching Downton?

It must have been alerted or the Mods would not have removed it either that or the poster realised it looked bad.

The posts were in appalling taste for a get well thread. Glad they and the person writing such nastiness seem to be gone.

It seems a shame to remove the thread especially as it was wishing Natalie to get better. Why not just remove the offending posts?

The thread is still up the offending post are off the thread.

Yes, sorry, just spotted it The poster has been banned I see.

How do you know when someone is banned.

It says 'inactive member' under their name on the left.

Check out posts 63 and 69 of this thread

Now that I know what has been going on I get why Walter Neff was so upset. I notice nepotism 46 who made the comments is inactive so guess the mods were alerted which does sound pretty fair on what you are saying re the stuff on other threads.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I am not a fan of her and I have no reason to believe there is anything suspicious about her illness. But one thought that did occur to me is if someone is sick in the same week next year then there are going to be a lot of mutterings about it being a very a convenient way to ensure that they get to Blackpool especially if it is one of the people further down the scoring table.

My pleasure

I suspect that BBC use an Independent Doctor to check they are not faking it.

I really doubt they're going to let people just throw a sickie unless it's properly confirmed by a show doctor. Especially if it happens at the last minute like happened with Natalie. It must have played havoc with the running order and timing of the live show.
