If it's about expecting people to take him as he is... shouldn't he do the same? He doesn't seem to have that capability, take the argument with Orlaith - 'I will not talk to you, but I will talk at you' (or something along those lines). Was that respecting her wishes that she no longer wanted to carry on the confrontation with him? no

I don't get the Science thing at all. The more I read fanatical posts proclaiming him as some kind of cult personality, the more I want to vote him out. I wouldn't feel that if endless people didn't make endless unsubstantiated claims for him.

He's an unremarkable, average person with a very loud mouth and little of original content or interest to say. You can tell just by his diet andhis babyish attitude to food he's limited by his education and life experience. He's not the victim of bullying or racism or anything else - in his specific case he's the architect of how other people have behaved towards him. They've all given up on him as he's too hard work. If you don't want to be isolated don't provoke and scream and shout at people and don't keep telling them how amazing you are, it's very wearing 24/7. I agree with those who say he has little respect for others. The others are a dreadful bunch and don't do much right either but that doesn't make Science wonderful.

How on earth is that nasty?

That's how I feel duncann, I will not be voting this week but I almost feel like spending money to vote Science out (although I think it would be wasted because I don't think he is going anywhere). He is being made out to be some sort of God. HMs are treading on hot coals worried that he will start at any time, hence not speaking to him, which is exactly what I would do.

Apparently they are not walking on hot coals, as they seem to be doing all they can to get him annoyed, hoping he does something which either gets him kicked out, or voted out by the public.
