Did I respond with hostility? It seems you made up your mind or that you expected us to react in a certain way, which means to me that you already view us in a certain way, so please don't victimise yourself as if we are ruining your experience of posting on here. Take ownership in what you post and how you respond. And just so you know, i did not take your post negatively and I appreciated parts of it, just not all of it. If you had explained what you meant without the defensiveness and as if there is an expectation that I am hostile then this could have been a perfectly good discussion. I am not some horrible person that will make your time on here difficult and for that I'm sorry if you felt that way but don't make assumptions that my post was to undermine you. It's just a statement I made without knowing what you meant and now that you explained yourself and I understand, that's a good way to view things, and I appreciate the positivity you are trying to generate, it just didn't read that way to me at first

Wow...I cannot even read the above without getting a headache. I'm sure you had a very good point in there somewhere..but it is lost on me. Sorry :)

LOL...I would have been surprised if both of you had replied with no hostility. This is why it is not worth posting here....the amusement is in the reading.

WHAT I should have posted (and what I really meant) is that those who dislike Jade are the ones that are "losing". By that, I mean that I feel more positive around positive people and that is how Jade makes me feel. My bad..it came out wrong and I'm sorry for that. And while you may say "worship" that is just plain weird. Jade is a 22 yr old girl that is just finding herself and her life. I raised my 2 daughters to work hard, treat others as they treat you with a base of kindness, and to always believe in themselves. Jade reminds me them and I see in her what I see in my daughters as they grow into wonderful woman. That is positive and makes me happy.

Really, my post was not trying to get in a squabble.

Hi BBBelle, (and everybody else!)

Like you I am also a lurker - I found this forum during the season last year, but couldn't sign up as my email addresses would not be accepted by the old forum's system.

I have read almost all nearly 2000 pages of this thread (lost track when it went mental after the Drully breakup article) so I feel like I know you all. I know I will get the question of why I don't chime in - I am often reading something I would add to, but it is way after the conversation has moved on, or I am on the tram or something, so not practical to try and respond.

I got your point - not that people are losers for not like Jade, more that it is their loss for not seeing Jade in a positive way.

Anyway thanks to all the wonderful people that keep this thread alive, and give us lurkers lots of entertainment!

I read your post the way you intended, like it's their loss if the positives of a HM are not recognised. Maybe it's a generational thing, I don't use the word "loser" the same way my children's friends would use it. As an example, I don't like Jasmine and am not that interested in her updates or photographs, so I guess that's my loss if she is a really interesting person.

"Interesting" is kinda the key word for me. Being genuinely kind and positive is usually enough to keep me from disliking a person (hence I like Jade fine), but it's not enough to make me, personally, find him or her interesting or relatable or watchable. I wish Jade success and happiness and all of that, but I can't say I'm particularly interested in her or what she's up to, and I don't feel like I'm losing/missing out because of it. Each to their own, and who has the time? I have to fake interest in enough people in my real life. :biggrin:

I am curious to know what Tullys role is in this event she is going to in Bali. I hope it is a media/ journalism related role. The girl she is with is a beauty journalist for Harpers bazaar, in style magazine and a few other according to her insty profile.

After just catching up on my Instagram, I found out an acquaintance of mine is going on this trip. She's a footy player's wife who posts pics of what she's wearing each day and does some modelling. I think this is just yet another of those Instameets where people with a certain # of followers are gathered to promote whatever and spam their feeds with pics and hashtags in return for a free trip.

Jade was not positive regarding Tahan, and Tahan never did anything to her or said anything about her. While Jade pursuing her dream is admirable, I don't believe Jade has a realistic view of herself nor do I think she has realistic view of how adult life really works. It seems to me that Jade sees herself as being a character immersed in a Disney movie. The Jade I saw while she was trying to impress Ed and Mikkayla in the house I don't like at all. The Jade that she is when she hangs out with Tim or Tully is far more likeable. When she helps charity (hospitals, kids, animals) it seems genuine and is one of her best qualities.

I agree we are best to put our time into those in whom we have genuine interest, HMs or people in our own lives.

The best way to make any one particular relationship work is perhaps to get a little less optimistic about relationships in general.

Rather than sounding negative, this makes perfect sense to me. If you expect a relationship to be perfect, then you will always be disappointed as everyone and every relationship will have flaws. This is very sound advice.

Not a bad lurk by the sounds of it. A free holiday in a luxurious resort. It will be a great networking opportunity though.

That sucks! I've never been scammed, not yet anyways. Though I usually hang up on those annoying survey calls and sales calls anyways.

I think Jade has plenty of positive points about her but also seen plenty of negatives about her behaviour, especially while she was in the house but still like following her 'journey':)

I also thought it was Loser for not loving Jade but glad to hear it was a misunderstandingView attachment 39325

I think I have said it before in this thread:- I was never a fan of Jade during her time in the BB house, however since she has been out I have liked what she has done and I have respect for her attitude and willingness to give things a go. She has her flaws just like everyone else, but seems to me to have a kind and forgiving heart and a positive outlook on life. Whilst I will never be absorbed by wanting to know what she is up to, I still enjoy and appreciate her news when it is posted on here.

This is some more passive aggressive bullshit, to paraphrase what you wrote is "I can't be bothered to read your post, I'm sure you think you had a good point but I don't want to validate it in any way". At first, I gave you the benefit of the doubt on calling us losers (because of your explanation) but with this and the more I think about it I believe you posted exactly what you meant to. That is why you told people to have at you because you won't be able to read it until you return in a couple weeks or whatever. So as far as I'm concerned you can Fuck Off and go back to the Jade thread with the rest of the coven and leave us alone here.
 
So @TullyLovesDrew is this the Tully Appreciation thread? I don't think you are in a position to speak for all the posters in the thread. Wonder what made you do angry. Can't just be that one post that did it. You are always dishing it out learn to take it too.
