no it's not hypocritical at all, if i'm mocked, derided (how can anybody be humiliated by a line of text from an anonymous user of a message board?) then i'll never call you a troll. if you disagree with me, that doesn't make you a troll. if you engage in banter, jokes etc with me, that's all part of life's rich tapestry. so no, no hypocrisy at all.

at the end of the day, it's a game show, a game. an invention whose purpose is entertainment. not bitterness, not paranoia, not the incredibly precious oh-poor-me-they-said-something-i-don't-like culture round these parts.

Of course it is hypocritical to say you want friendly banter with fellow FMs whilst admitting ridiculing those same FMs. It is unreasonable to expect other posters to respond in a light hearted manner to you when you make snide and provocative comments to and about them.

The purpose of this forum is to discuss the game show I'm a Celebrity - it's contestants and presenters, the tasks, editing, live feed and evictions. If you focused on those topics rather than other contributors then you will be much more likely to achieve the objectives you proposed in your opening post.

Got to say, that post had me splitting my sides. Possibly, one of the wittiest posts ever.

I'll agree that the powers that be at ITV abd the production company are a buch of loser t**spots.

Sometimes the "oh poor me they said something I don't like" is totally justified I've seen loads of nastiness here, and so have you, otherwise you wouldn't have posted the pledge in the first place.

Oh that's rich.
Trying to get people to post how you want them to post.

I remember you yourself as a poster who tried to kill fun and was having a go at other posters accusing them of being 'fans' who did this or did that.

I remember the forum itself generally being fun a lot of the time, and nothing whatsoever like a typical Big Brother forum.

If people believe that the show is weighted to favour a certain contestant, then tough, that's their opinion.
I've seen many posters put that point across in very humorous ways, and it was the people being sarcastic towards them who were lacking a sense of humour.
That's just somebody else's opinion that you'll have to accept.


Generally I found the forum to be quite a pleasant and fun environment to post in this series. Many posters made me laugh.
The only downer I found was the occasional post by the behaviour police who didn't enjoy a sense of fun and who were making digs at certain posters accusing them of things which I could see with my own eyes they were NOT guilty of.


I can't believe that you've actually set up an opening post that tries to persuade people to post what you want them to.
It's a forum, and as such all that matters is that people are allowed to post their opinions, whether that is commentary on how they feel the production side of things presents things, or whatever else. The only remit is that posters show respect towards each other and don't attack other posters.

There's no 'Let's agree to post like this', there is just the forum rules and guidelines to go by and it's as simple as that. That's the only agreement that matters, and the only agreement that should matter.
Diversity of opinions is to be encouraged, and not stifled by trying to get people to agree to a limiting manifesto of what to post about and what not to post about.

So needless to say, I won't be signing up to your manifesto based on how and what you want other people to post about.

Good start eh?
Leading by example are you?
I'm sure you've convinced loads of people to sign up to your forum posting manifesto now.

Davina's words from previous post with reference to Janice...

"she's getting on a bit now, so perhaps she could do with putting her feet up and having a well-deserved facelift"


Hardly the words of an unbiased champion of reason and sensible debate, a tad hypocrytical methinks.
