Of course, I am just saving ink.

Tough one.
Now Dappy is rather mini and for me perhaps the least intimidating or menacing person in there so yeah I think he is perfectly entitled to go for option D.

The point is she didn't actually threaten to stab him in any litetal sense. If someone told me they'd kicked a dog I'd say 'kick my dog and I'll kill you', obviously not meaning it literally. Everyone says stuff like that, it's completely normal and noone in their right mind would take it as a threat...especially as Evander is pretty unlikely to ever meet her horse!
There is no comparison at all with his homophobic comments.

It comes down to the BB rules I guess.
Threats, be they implied or conditional towards other housemates (doesn't matter to who, and no matter how non menacing) are not allowed in the BB house.
Homophobic views are also not allowed.
That's the comparison.

That's accepted.
But do you think you would have the same attitude if the he roles and quotes had been reversed. I tend to agree that if Evander had said it then the forum would be swamped with the outraged and it would have been linked to his homophobic comments. Phrases like 'violent threatening bigot' would have been bandied about etc. and I can see what the questioner is trying to get at and I think to a large extent! I agree with them.

He understands English at the very least-
When BB admonished him for his homophobic views(using English language as their modus operandi) he understood them. No violence was used.
Now perhaps you saw BB pop out from behind the screen and repeatedly punch him in the head whilst simultaneously giving him a chinese burn and a wedgie but I for one missed it.
All I saw was them explain the situation to him, and amazingly he he understood perfectly and accepted the warning.
Your honour, I rest my case.

Really? He isn't very well-spoken for someone who understands English.
Have you heard him mumbling?

Whist I can accept he may not be the best spoken person I have ever heard and I totally agree that he mumbles, this does NOT equate to him not understanding the English language and 'only understanding the language of violence'.
