I sometimes wonder if you're just doing this for sport Milo ... it's kinda fun winding everyone up like this isn't it? :P

The last time I checked out The Retreat, that was over a week ago before I went on vacation, there was some talk of a competition to see who would be kicked out of BM first so I wouldn't put too much credence in these people's posts anymore. Is Trolling considered a sport?
Anyway, my vacation turned out great! Despite a poor forecast, just about everyday gave us wonderful beach weather.

Gary, I think the best course of action is not to engage, in any manner, with those that think we are 'tards.
People can only hurt us if we let them.
The kind of people who act like we are useless fucks will turn around some day and be all alone.
;)

I have to wonder, though, if when I come here and wind up engaging in bitchfests if I'm making the best use of my time.

But I think there sometimes comes a point when the whole thing becomes way too personal. I think when that happens, you just need to force yourself to walk away. I'm giving that advice, but I'll admit it's very hard for me to do that sometimes.

I think it's rewarding, whether a bitchfest or just a discussion.
For many, this is the only outlet we have where we feel free to be honest, direct and upfront (to a point of course). Perhaps in our daily lives we are surrounded with people who cannot or will not tolerate such openness and honesty and thus we live our lives forever having to crouch our terms, map out in advance how to approach a subject, beat around the bush, avoid some topics of interest all together and basically walk on eggshells with everything that comes out of our mouths.
Internet forums can be a refreshing break from this.

When they all went into the house, Makosi's first secret task was to get herself nominated for eviction. If she managed to get the highest number of nominations, she would be exempt from eviction that week. She could use any means to get nominated, but she had to keep her task a complete secret.
She behaved so badly, winding everyone up by doing and saying the most awful things. By the end of the week everyone hated her, they'd all yelled at her, fallen out with her, bitched about her..... it was hilarious!!! :)
