He was calm and not condescending in the slightest. Sweetheart is an expression - I use it with my son. If she isn't uneducated, she certainly comes across that way with her filthy mouth, something which I find offensive!

She could stab the lot of them in the head and you'd still defend her, purely on the basis she's a poor, picked on American. Well, boo hoo and diddums to her, she's horrible and nasty, American or not - in fact, I find your out and out defence of her, simply because she's one of your countrymen, offensive.
That's what you think. I thought he was snottily condescending. I'd have been angry at him too. Can't stand people who think their poo doesn't stink. And he's certainly one.

You think what you want of me, my motives, what I think. But you don't know anything about it. Not. a. thing.

Are you related to Farrah? To be honest I've seen a few of your posts and you seem to have a bigger chip on your shoulder than the Americans in there! Talk about taking things far too seriously

i think i personally would just ignore and pretend she's not even there. she seems to enjoy confrontation. so i wouldn't want to give her what she wants.
Yep me too. I would say calmly and firmly that I would not be entering into any conflict with her and walk away. if she carried on I would continue walking and ignore. She would literally have to follow me round ranting and raving. You cannot win an argument with someone like that - there's no discussion, no listening on her part, no logic anywhere to be seen. After that I would ignore - COMPLETELY. As if she wasn't in the house. I would never speak to her again - you never know what is gonna set her off, so not engaging at all, in any shape or form would be my strategy.

But if I did say something she took offense to, I'd apologize for saying it.
WOW - so you would apologize to that sociopath even if you were in the right? Amazing.

I'd wait for her to calm down, then secretly take a poo in her bed. Then I'd deny it when she sat in it...

Do what I do in RL, thousand yard stare, mouth open like a goldfish and say nothing. It freaks people out because they think they're dealing with a psycho. Try it.

What a pathetic, tired, thing to say. Think up something new if you can, and get back to me.

What makes me be in the right? I'm not perfect ... but I'm glad you think so. If I said something, in any way, that offended someone ... I'd apologize and try to figure out how it was I phrased it that was offensive.

By the way, where'd you get your degree in psychology?

I think I would head for the paracetamol, having watched last nights show she gave me a head ache just seeing her from this distance = close up I wouldn't be able to deal with without some pain killers first.

I must admit, I'm really enjoying your posts throughout the forum, keep up the good work. Send my love to Farrah

That's good to know because I think you have said a number of things on a number of threads that are sweeping generalisations about forum members attitude to Americans. It is quite offensive when you lump us all together and conclude anyone who finds Farrah's behaviour appalling, has an anti American agenda.

I am taking this statement as a commitment to go back over various threads issuing apologies? That would be appreciated I am sure.

And Birkbeck - you?

They've not posted anything of the kind. btw, which hm is your post about?

Because Farrah is clearly over sensitive and defensive I wouldn't spend my time trying to upset her as Austin and Natasha have.

The Perez approach works every time:
Blowing kisses.
Waggling the tongue
Big broad grin.

She'd explode!

I'd smash all the plates and then kill all the housemates. Then I'd refused to sit down in the DR and pull the microphone off the ceiling. And if BB didn't fix my flipflop I'd really kick off big time!

I would try to talk to her just general conversation, and not try to pi55 her off.

Watching her vitriol in the diary room particularly, I just couldn't stand to be around her in the first place. Fed up with her negativity.

Yep, he's been posting in various threads, using sarcasm and provocation to mount an insane defence of the indefensible. It's all Austin's fault, apparently. Either that, or it's down to the edit. Or both. And anyone who disagrees with this opinion is clearly anti-American! The leaps in logic are staggering, and yet he persists. Frankly, I think he's taking the piss. But that's just me.
