Can you explain what you are implying by your post.

I agree with you that there has been a lot of unnecessary bashing towards Leon on this forum, but it isn't all necessarily from Rhydian fans, or Rhydian fans that post on here regularly. Rhydian is also getting a bashing as well, if you notice.

But I don't understand what you are refering to in the wording of your post, I hope it's not implying that Rhyd is a cold person.

I think comparing the threads on this forum overall, I truly believe that Leons fanbase has been very humble mostly and has wished both acts well, and find myself pretty disgusted at the extremely spiteful nasty comments directed towards a young 18year guy very disturbing.

That's nice. So you thought you'd generalise that attitude to all Rhydian fans then?

Says more about you than anyone else I think.

A lot of people on this forum are suffering from verbal diarrhea at the moment. I think threads like this tend to spread that infection.

Actually, let's look at your first post shall we?

Spot the gross generalisation.

Was there anything else or are we done here?

I totally agree with you about some of the comments about Leon ... perhaps you weren't on the forum at the beginning of the series when Rhydian was the hate figure on these boards and the whole front page was full of threads ripping him to pieces?

You have to understant that not all Rhydian fans are ripping into him in a venomous way and a lot of the nasty threads are started by non-Rhydian fans too or trolls who have a perverse satisfaction in starting trouble.

As to you saying that most of Leon fans are humble, I would agree that there are some very nice Leon fans, but like with all fanbases there are some bad apples and Rhydian has taken a lot of stick on a regular basis from certain Leon fans, the same ones that take every opportunity to call him or make personal remarks about him.

You still haven't explained the wording of you initial post as to why you think the chillyness of Rhydian fans is why they are attracted to him ... to me that means that you are likening Rhydian to his chilly fans.

If that is the case you yourself have started a thread being nasty to both Rhydian and his fans.

It's eves each the two.

Leon's had some dreadful stuff written about him I agree.

Rhydian has been the subject of some horrific flac on here too, quite frankly some of it has been libelous. You may not have seen it because thank God it's pulled fairly quickly, but it's been here and I've read it.

And also Same Difference, some of the stuff I've read has been obscene.

There are some very strange people knocking about here and they are not all Rhydian fans.

No it dos'nt it can only open people eyes and maybe make them think about the vile comments they are making about a young lad who won fair and square, this may not be to everybodys liking but there is no need for such venom.

Very true. It was a thinly-veiled double insult.

Rhydian is a lovely, warm person, just for the record.

I haven't said anything nasty about Leon as a person just as a singer and he is not a good singer in my opinion apart from that one song "You don't know me" and Rhydian is in another league

In all honesty no I haven't read that and would'nt feel that acceptable either. It's okay if you feel the singing is not to your taste but getting really personal is nothing more than playground bullying IMO.

I'm still waiting for Jules to explain the context of her original post as I believe that she is probably doing exactly what she is complaining about Rhydian fans are doing.

Also I think Jules need to look at some of her other posts at the moment which are baiting trouble, like going into a thread specifically started for messages to Rhydian from HIS fans and posting a comment bad mouthing his fans.

But the people who post vile comments aren't going to suddenly change because someone insults them
Think about it ... someone burbles venomous comments and then you expect them to suddenly become civilised because of a nasty response. It isn't going to happen, not on this or any other forum.

It just takes on a snowball effect and gets ridiculous.

All vileness should be removed and fast!

I have'nt said that Rydian is'nt a warm and lovely person but his fanbase right now arn't IMO doing him any favours with such slating of a sweet young guy.

Personally I don't think criticism of any act has been that bad on here. You should read some of the sick stuff written on the Youtube videos the offical site puts up which are reguarly littered with libelous filth and death threats.

It seems to me that anything written about young Leon is acceptable and peeps should keep their mouths shut for fear of a backlash from Rydian fans well I will write that I don't think it is acceptable and I have never written anything bad about Rydian and his talent. Yes he leaves me feeling chilly but thats not to say he is'nt a good performer, and carrying on from that so do some of these vile posts.

Rhydian has been accused of being a 'Nazi paedo' with 'dead, piggy eyes' who 'gives children nightmares' and all sorts of other nonsense. Maybe you haven't seen these threads but they've been out there, unfortunately.

I still don't understand the Chilly reference, he makes you feel chilly in what way?

There is no difference between the slating of Leon on this board or the slating of Rhydian.

If people slate Leon, his fans post in his defence. If people slate Rhydian then his fans post in his defence too.

They both have their fair share of nasty posts and threads, it just seems like people have forgotton how liableous some of the stuff written about Rhydian at the beginning of the show was.

Like I said, the majority of the nasty posts about Leon are not from genuine Rhydian fans,

Okay no I have'nt read those, I have been reading mostly since Leon won and yes I appeciate that some would be very disappointed but really was quite taken aback by the nastiness.
