For some reason B&B seems to have more posters using nasty nicknames for characters (especially endings with "ho") than any of the other soaps. Maybe it says something about the personal character of the posters for them to use such language and assail others with it when they go to view the topics posted. At least please don't use the language in the subject line where one can't avoid seeing the sickening words. The world is full enough of bad things happening without getting an extra dose of ugliness on the message boards.

I agree. But some people just like to cause trouble!

A lady after my own heart!!! I for one cannot understand why people have to use such vile language when describing the characters!!! Honestly it just gets worse and worse!! Hey we can all state our views without using bad language!!! Wonder if they use it in everyday life??? Wonder what examples we set our children if can't even be OBJECTIVE on fictional characters!!!

I think you are taking a soap opera, which is NOT REAL, way too seriously, and people having fun at the expense of a fictional character even more seriously than THAT. I would suggest, if ya don't like it, that you stay away from message boards. Just because you call some fictional character names on a message board doesn't tell you ANYTHING about them in real life, but maybe YOUR post leaves you open for judgment about YOUR personal character. You have absolutely no sense of humor and take even fictional TV shows as something completely and totally real, and we shouldn't hurt fictional characters fictional feelings!!! LOL!

My argument is with the posters who choose to inflict ugly language on viewers who survey the topics on the message boards. Probably my comments do say something about me (that I dislike people who hurt others) but I do have a sense of humor and try to cheer people up in real life, not bring down their spirits.

Again, this is not real life. This is a message board about a daytime drama, an over-the-top, not anywhere near real life, not anywhere near real people, soap that entertains us at lunch time. Real life has absolutely nothing to do with it. But when you start mixing your judgment of people's REAL lives with what is said about a fictional show, then it shows that you are confusing the two. Some think it's fun. You don't. And if you want to think that makes you better, nicer, and just an all around greater human being, and that's what is high in your standards of how you judge people, then that's okay with me too. I have other ways of measuring people that have absolutely nothing to do with a Bold and Beautiful message board. I guess you know that there is a fair-sized segment of the population who thinks that anyone who watches soaps is marching to a different drum beat. I don't agree with that either. Everyone has different standards of what's "normal." Now I have to get back to criticizing St. Taylorthebarwhore.

You are right youngoldfan And another name i would add to the list is Satanie which to me is insulting and when ever i see it i fell hut and its used at Stephanie. yes Stephanie Brooke Taylor Katie and the rest are characters on a soap but the rude name calling can hurt the fans of these people on the soap. Like can we only call them nice names or nothing at all.

Girls, honestly, we are talking about soap characters here. How can it hurt YOUR feelings when those characters are called names? They are not related to you, they aren't even real for God's sake! As for actor/actress bashing, we don't all like the same actors and actresses. What a boring world this would be if we all liked the same ones.Now, I'd like you to be honest and tell us if you have never said you don't like an actor or actress and called them a name. Same with a character in a show. Any show!! I'm sure you've called someone a name too I think we're all guilty of it

Exactly... I guess the fans of Paris Hilton are offended on a daily basis. Or Peewee Herman fans. Or Marilyn Manson's. Oh the horror!!! What a sparkly and rainbow-bright world we would love in if no one was allowed to say anything that wasn't perfectly sweet ... EVER!!

I've really been missing her! Even Tayfan566 has gone quiet. Maybe they have computer trouble or are on vacation somewhere. For their sake, I hope it's either got a snow and a ski slope or a nice warm beach!

I love watching this show, but I am getting sick and tired of the way Stephanie and Ridge think they are THE Almighty. Here they are tyring to get get Rick convicted, when it wasn't even all his fault. They need to step back and look at themselves or the writers need to hold Stephanie and Ridge accountable for a lot of their mistakes and quit blaming everyone else. Stephanie needs to but out of everyones business.

Remember that old expression 'get a life'? Well I'd say I would have to toss that to those who seem to think this is in someway real. Yes you really do need to get a life: this is cyber world & a soap opera chatting around...it means nothing it is not real nor a reflection of our personal lives we can actually say what we think & guess what NOTHING is going to happenTayloone, Taylorthebarwhore, Ridgit, Satanfie etc...it's all fun..Get a life why don't you?

That's the way I think... you can't hurt a fictional character's feelings!!! And no real person should get offended on behalf of a fictional character!!! LOL!
