I think she did very well under the circumstances on Friday. She has been slated after every eviction this year for being soft. She wasn't that hard (IMO) on Meme and she did actually say she was a great housemate to watch. Meme was given the rope and she chose to hang herself with it, I don't think Davina can be held responsible for that.

It makes as much sense as your masterful summation (in fact it is your masterful summation).
I dislike being told where I can post in a public forum, or that I should 'shut the **** up' if I disagree with someone. If you want a platform to air your views without fear of contradiction or criticism, might I suggest blogging?

This is also Tunneller's standard reply when he cant think of an argument. Best thing is to ignore.
I think Makosi would go a lot further if she showed some humility and Davina's advice to her was sound. Davina does a difficult job very well.

This is Tunneller's reply to anyone posting an 'exclusive' thread and telling people who disagree to shut the **** up.
Do you think you might be able to refrain from unwarranted personal attacks?

This is an appreciation thread. Tehre are loads all over the forum. BB4, Lesley, Derek, BB6, the list just goes on.
Incase you are unaware of the defiintion of 'aprecitaion', i have gone to the effore of posting it here:
Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things.
A judgment or opinion, especially a favorable one.
An expression of gratitude.
Awareness or delicate perception, especially of aesthetic qualities or values.
It doens't say that you cannot post here, but I don't see why you cannot post in one of the hundreds of "lets slag off Davina" threads, when we go in there, we get yelled at for liking her, so this is a place for us, who are APPRECIATING Davina's work in 2005!

I am merely trying to promote discussion. I resent people coming on here merely to stir things up rather than further the discussion. Now back to topic please. I wont reply to you if youre off-topic to avoid your baiting.

In case you're unaware of the meaing of 'discussion' and 'forum'...ah, WTF, you look 'em up.
If you want to engage in mutual reinforcement of your opinions without risking being exposed to contrary opinion, fine, but a public forum isn't the place for that.
If you get 'yelled at' in discussion forums, either report the 'yellers' or argue your case, but don't clog up the forum with yet another thread on the same subject.

You are promoting discussion by making personal attacks on me and telling people to ignore me, but you're not willing to discuss that?
Was that intended to be ironic?

I believe I gave a judgement or opinion. It was just one you didn't like.

I think Davina should show some humility, after all we, the viewers pay her salary. She should be made to apologise for her actions, demonstrate a sincere display of remorse and grovel at the feet of her disappointed fans.
Only then will the GBP forgive her (and forget her).

But that is why I have started this thread, becuase there are so many Davina Haters starting threads about her lack of skills. If I went into a Derek appreciation thread, and said Derek is a complete k***, then I would be told to stop posting unwaranted views in an appreciation thread, and to post in an anti-Derek campaiging thread. It is the same principle, in a different context.
I know it says Davina appreciation only, but since Davina apologists have been hijacking threads expressing dismay at her behaviour, I feel it only right to come here and say this:
Her behaviour last Friday was unprofessional, and I hope her employers have a word with her about it. She displayed a lack of professional integrity and should be thoroughly ashamed.
There, I've said my piece. I'm off now. Have fun, everybody, and don't let your bias obscure your vision.

They don't. But we all have the 'authority' to remind people of the forum rules, and the right to be offended by people who cannot tolerate free speech.

the lack of compassion towards Davina.

Not by me you wouldn't. The point of the forum is discussion, which is not achieved by partitioning yourself from people with different views.
