Haven't they said in the past that its the Electoral Society, or whatever its called - the body that's responsible for General Elections etc. Last edited by darling : 21-10-2003 at 18:53. |

If they are talking then I think its best to just let them talk. I suppose it looked slightly different when Bystander was patting you on the back and pumping up your post a bit. Your original post was fair enough but Bystander put you in a certain postition and your reply was a bit smug IMHO (who is taking it in "blind faith" etc?) If someone is talking and it could be plausible, I think its better to let them keep talking until it becomses obvious they are not who they claim to be. I think thats how most here were treating the info. no offence meant tho. And to think I get accused of concocting conspiricies...... So...why is it that they all thought that Jade could win the holiday if it was already known she couldn't? |

well whatever. I dont think anyone is taking what they say as the total truth but if we just knock and trash them then I would be surprised if they stayed around. The ;longer they stay, the more insight we get (IMHO) I never suggested they should be knocked and trashed and of course, there is the possibility that they are telling the truth. I would expect to be questioned if I had made similarly wild claims, be it here or elsewhere. I agree they havent been too cool in a few posts they have done regarding the newsgroup but they didnt seem to like it there either. FTR, 'Weymel' made several unprovoked attacks on regular and respected contributors. So foul-mouthed were the attacks that I am unable to quote directly, but do feel free to follow this link for a taster of his/her 'introductory' post made to the group I frequent. Anyway Ive said my piece. If Weymel and End1 stop posting, here endeth the interest in the thread. We can be certain if those 2 left then we will definitely be left with opinions only and nothing else. I'd rather spend my time comtemplating and responding to well thought out opinions than playng sycophant to the unsubstaniated ramblings of a couple of posters, who, in my opinion, seem to be nothing more than sore losers.

I just feel you are giving yourself too much credit. Its not your fault so much, Bystander put you in that postition but you seem to have went along with it. Most of us are treating it as very possibly true until proven otherwise. It seems plausible since its from 2 separate sources (if they are true). But if we put them off posting then they will just stop posting and who wins then ? Its no big deal or whatever. Im sorry if I have misunderstood your interprtation of most of the rest of us who were posting in this thread for a while. |

to yidaho
sorry about the fuss Yidaho. Weymel and End1 are the most interesting posters we have got (and Gareth) until proven otherwise, so I just wasnt wanting them overwhelmed with scepticism.
Its reasonable to be sceptical if people want to be. And I can well believe Weymel can write quite "strong worded posts" I did read the ones that were edited here and the ones left in the thread before it was deleted.

Mes is just about the most unlikely person on this forum to let anyone pull his strings, let alone me. Forgive me if I understood you wrong. You said you were proud of him asking for proof which by implication (as I read it) meant the rest of us were just going along with it as if we didnt have any doubts at all. Im sure people have asked stuff in the thread previously. Theres been some info that would be hard to make up. IMHO most of us are giving them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise since they seem plausible from the info we have so far. |

From what Ive just read, they didnt know. Paul didnt find out until he was in the room if I understand End1s post to you correct. Back to proof......It's hearsay at the moment. I just feel you are giving yourself too much credit. Its not your fault so much, Bystander put you in that postition but you seem to have went along with it. I don't need anyone to back up my views....And I don't need to be given credit for a perfectly valid view....Perhaps you are giving yourself too much credit in believing it without proof because others have backed you up..... Most of us are treating it as very possibly true until proven otherwise. It seems plausible since its from 2 separate sources (if they are true). But if we put them off posting then they will just stop posting and who wins then ? Very possibly true until proven otherwise? Really? Based on what evidence? Just some proof that this story is accurate is needed to get close to believing it's "very possibly true." Its no big deal or whatever. Im sorry if I have misunderstood your interprtation of most of the rest of us who were posting in this thread for a while. A lot of people believed it so it must be true.....Now who's giving themselves too much credit.....It's not your fault, you seem to have gone along with it. |

There's been a fair amount of time passed since TeenBB finished and from when it was televised, enough time for a lot of information to have been passed around about what happened in the house. I can't believe that the producers would be stupid enough to fix the result, no matter what had been signed, and hope that teenagers would keep it a secret. |

yes its hearsay but you tried to say the reaction of the others was impossible.
IMHO nobody was taking their stories as gospel, but they are very plausible until proven otherwise. Thats how most (all IMHO) were treating them. Nobody was taking it on blind faith IMHO. I cant see how Im getting credit from anyone. Im still waiting from one poster who was ambiguous, so Im waiting to see if she was meaning if I should be banned. I dont believe anyone is taking what they say on "blind faith". |

I didnt post to him. Dont know if you did. IMHO the chances are it was probably him. There was a Federico Marton (spelt wrong) who I dont think many of us believed. Its hard for me to believe too but Tracey giving Paul a vote was very strange. And I would have thought Caroline would have went for Tommy but I dunno. All Im saying is that Weymel and End1 are very plausible and its more interesting having them around than it is without them being here. These 2 posters (well End1) were posting early on last week. |

yes its hearsay but you tried to say the reaction of the others was impossible. No I didn't.....I said there was too much to take in on blind faith. Which is my opinion. Proof is required I believe. I'm not telling you how to think, you may well have more information than me. If I were to believe this IMHO I'd only be believing it on blind faith IMHO. IMHO nobody was taking their stories as gospel, but they are very plausible until proven otherwise. Thats how most (all IMHO) were treating them. Nobody was taking it on blind faith IMHO. That's your view (as you've said)......I think proof is needed....Just because a large number of people belived it it doesn't give it any more plausability.....You'll have to accept some people require more proof with an allegation of this sort. I dont believe anyone is taking what they say on "blind faith". But there isn't any proof, only hearsay. You say everyone thinks it's very plausable until proven otherwise..or indeed "very possibly true"....Some of us more cynical types will see it another way Goodfella, an allegation of this sort requires a little proof before it will be given any credence.....You'll just have to accept now that not everyone believes it......(yet )

yes but all Im saying is that we werent taking it in blind faith
its not as if we arent used to wild conspiracies here and usually we can be pretty certain they are nonsense since nobody is usually claiming to be in the know. in this case we have 2 people giving a plausible account and some other hard to know info and most of us are trreating them as very plausible but we arent taking it as the certain truth, just that it is very plausible if they are close to the families. Call me a sucker but Im pretty much convinced already

I will make the same offer here that I have made in another thread, If someone can give me a place to upload a picture of Tommy with a piece of paper, with words of your choice on, then it shall be done. And after that we shall leave the forum never to return, because this is not worth the hassle, I have given you more inside info than you can shake a stick at, but because Tom had a n accident and it's not in the papers, then it's not true!!! And this is all because you allowed the forum to be hijacked by a few troublemakers from a sick NG.

If anyone here makes a claim we'd all expect it to be backed up in some way. Why not in this case? |
