Well THAT escalated quickly! A clarification…

by BBBlogger on June 25, 2015

This is a personal blog post to all of my regular posters of Big Brother Blog! We are less than 6 hours into a new season and it seems like we have more drama then the new Big Brother house!

Now, to everyone who commented on my last post earlier today. I am sorry. I’m sorry that you were offended by my comments! I consider all of you guys the heart and soul of the Big Brother Blog. As I said, this blog is YOUR blog! I hope you will accept my apology and know that without you all, (and I mean all of you, from those that have been with the blog since the beginning and who used to stay up all night commenting to our more recent arrivals) there would not be a Big Brother Blog!

We have been together for years. We have been through many people coming and going and have even seen some of our regulars pass on.  What we all have in common is that we are people who call this blog our HOME!

Now, please know, all I want is for people to continue to have a place to freely express themselves abut this show that we all love.  The goal of this blog has always been to create an open and accepting atmosphere for everyone! The regular commentors are the life of this blog. I would hate for any of you to leave because of a misunderstanding or a poorly-worded post.  

So let me try to restate what I meant to say…and let me know if it makes any sense to everyone.

1. This is your blog. Say what you want.
2. This is your blog. Express what you want.
3. This is your blog. Have fun!

My personal goal is to have a nice place to talk about Big Brother. That’s all that any of us want and if you want something else, this is not the site for you.

Now this goes both ways! I do not want to hear about people telling others to “keep it clean” either.  Part of having a free place to express ourselves means that sometimes we might hear opinions or language that we may not like.  The conversations on this blog have never had a rating and they’re never going to.  If mature language or snarky comments offend you, there are other blogs!

My last post made it seem I was censoring and for that, I apologize….that was NOT my goal.  We believe in freedom of speech.  I apologize if I was unclear when I requested no “mean” comments about the houseguests.  Of course, you can criticize the houseguests for their gameplay or their personality or their showmances.  That’s a huge part of what we all love about Big Brother!  HOWEVER…I am still going to say that any hate speech, racial slurs, bullying statements, will not be tolerated. EVER! I will delete those posts and will not lose any sleep over it.

Finally, we are a diverse group.  What we all have in common is that we love Big Brother.  This site is about Big Brother.  This site does support freedom of speech but we do request that the majority of your comments be somehow related to Big Brother.  

As well, it is important to be aware that not everyone on this site has the same political or religious beliefs.  Unless it somehow involves what is happening on the show, we respectfully request that commentors refrain from pushing either their own political or religious views on the site.  This is just not the appropriate forum for it.  

So with that, I am off to sleep and will review comments in the morning! Hopefully this will be the last post EVER like this and hopefully we can finish the season premier on a good note and start the LIVE FEEDS tomorrow night on the same page!

If you have an issue, i am available via email. realitytvchat@gmail.com.  If I cannot be reached, Lisa can be reached at LisaMarieBowman@live.com.

Again, I am sorry that I offended the blog family! I hope you will all forgive me and give the blog another chance.  

Peace, BBBlogger

Not worth my time or a response because all you have to do is go back three years and you’ll see what happened to your blog. You are right about one thing though and that is this blog wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for a few of us. If you’re confused about the anger then you are blind, deaf and dumb! Bleh!

Let it go! Let it go! This is a new day! Lessons have been learned! Give us a chance! Those who are faithful to this blog stay the course. You will not be disappointed! This blog is too important to walk away! We have all met some amazing people here, who have remained good friends through e-mail and Facebook. I feel blessed to be a part of this blog and I intend to welcome all comments and enjoy being back together again. We all have at least one thing in common …. we love Big Brother!! 🙂

I’ve been a part of this blog pretty much since the beginning. I may not post much but I am here, lurking and enjoying. I don’t understand why some of the old timers got upset, I don’t think BBBlogger was trying to censor anyone, I read his original post as just a request not to be hateful. There are ways to get your point across without trashing someone, insulting their parentage and education and just being generally nasty. Every year there are HG’s that most of us dislike, depise or plain old hate, that is the way CBS wants it, they edit the show in a way to create interest. But that doesn’t give ANY of us the right to say some of the things that I have read about them on this blog. I love this blog and will continue to be here and support BBBlogger and Lisa. Just my opinion.

Kustardpie..the old timers are upset mostly because of people like you who thinks it is your place to tell other posters how to behave. I for one has never posted a racial or homophobic comment about a HGs. I would never ever do that, but if I did it is not your bloody (not sure if it is safe to use bloody) place to make the rules for this blog.

I enjoyed your post yesterday. People are often uncivil online and it gets old. Opinion is fine, name calling and being rude should not be accepted.
Thanks for the blog, I have read them for years and enjoy it.

Looking forward to meeting the rest of the players tonight. tendr had mentioned that she had a lot going on in her life and this blog was a way to get away and socialize with other BB fans. I really enjoyed this the past few years. Being a twin, I’m looking forward to meetings the twins tonight. See you all here after the show. {{{HUGS}}}

This blog became my home YEARS ago and even if I didn’t always comment, I was always reading! I made some great friends and am happy for that but fish is correct, the tone of the blog had changed and we are no longer free to be ourselves! Most of us have opted to jump ship and go elsewhere which is a shame for this place because my peeps are AWESOME! Your loss buddy, keep listening to the trouble makers and soon they will be the only people here!

Hi Ruthie…..BBAD will be on the POP channel this year. I believe that it was the TV Guide channel last year. I wish BBAD was on Showtime 2 like it was seasons ago!! They must not want to pay the fees or whatever….it’s our loss!! LOL. Looking forward to tonight and meeting the rest of the house!!

I didn’t take it as trying to censor anyone. I thought it was more of a guideline of no attacking other people on here for their opinions. I love this group and I’ve been around since the beginning. I’m not part of any particular group of friends but I’m here. I am not a newby and I am an oldtimer. Some people don’t realize I am but I truly am. I am a poster with opinions but I won’t try to shove them down anyone’s throat. I won’t be personally rude or hateful either. We need to have fun and sometimes even laugh at ourselves as well as the crazy house guests. Being on here I have totally changed my mind about some of the guests based on what other people saw that I didn’t. Other times I just disagree. That’s life right? I really like BBBlogger and Lisa and think they do a good job. I too, appreciate everything Bill and Lisa do to keep us up to date and give us insight. Thanks for all you do.

I can’t wait to see who they bring in tonight and find out about the twists and who the twinners are.
