This is hearsay. It may be true, it may be fabrication, but it DOES influence the way you think about someone. Even if you try not to let it, you always have a question mark in your mind about that person from then on. These are the posts that I find damaging.”

I think the opposite is just as annoying as well - when someone criticises someone or a particular dance and then someone pipes up with "yes but my friend's-cousin's-hairdresser's-sister knows them and they are really nice", (usually about one of the pro's). I'm sure they are all lovely really, but it doesn't mean we have to like how they come across on screen or their dance on a particular week!! I know sometimes people are a bit personal, but sometimes a fair criticism gets the same response and by that standard just so long as someone is nice everything they do is infallible!

Dear God, here I am eating my chicken and mayo roll for lunch and you, Swampster have to make me conjour up that image.

.. One hell of a way to start a diet... doubt I'll eat again until the series is over

I'm completely in agreement with you on this. Oddly enough I was talking to a relative on sunday who had crossed paths with one of the contestants in a professional capacity a few years back. So on monday I very nearly posted what they'd said about them, then realised it would be a very bitter and potentially biasing thing to do and would make me look like a t*t too, so I didn't

I am now basking in the warm glow of good karma

Yes, I can see it could conjour awkward associations when you have your mouth full.

Just thought I'd dig this thread up amongst all the 'bashing' of late...

And the sad but unsurprising thing is it's always the female contestants/pros be it Zoe, Emma - Karen this week - that get bashed.

If you're going to bash - go for the blokes for a change!

Well said- some of us have been saying how unfair all the comments about Karen have been when all she did was defend her partner a la Brendan, Matt and Darren- this has led to some really personal comments which would be dreadful for her if she read them- and all unfounded

Right. I'm going to bash St. Mark:

1) He was pretty rubbish for England
2) He used to have a mullet
3) He sometimes looks like a small boy at a wedding trying to dance when he does his ballroom

LMAO!!! And I am a Rampant but can agree with 1 and 2 and can't be bothered to rise to number 3!!

Ah- but he is cute- and play nicely now cos this is the non- bashing thread- theres plenty of Mark and Karen bashing going on elsewhere!

There is one bloke that gets relentlessly bashed, but I think it's nice to see him, to see him...

I don't agree, Brendan and Anton get their fair share aswell.. Most of the pro's get a good bashing once or twice... OK its not been as bad as Emma's but then again Brendan's has got pretty bad at times...

So agree with you Kaos! It has been a while since our paths crossed how are you doing? How is the bendy one?
