Okay so I'm tired of people bashing the contestants, Salman, the Bigg Boss team, and people on this forum. So I want you all to take a few minutes and read through this patiently without bias and then reply.

Bashers stay out! If you like bashing, then I don't want you here!

So now put yourself in Tanisha's shoes. I'm not saying become like her or go eww, but think about it this way.

You're in the house and you've just been given a task of sitting in a box for 7 hours to make your team win. You decide that it's fine as long as you're in the house. So you sit in the box and try to go into the house. And as per the task the other team tries to block you. Great. It's all a game so let's have some fun, right? Well the other part of the other team's task is to get you out of the box. Now they learned from yesterday that dumping things into the box and hurling fun abuses is a good way to get someone out as well as keeping them outside in the sun because the boxes are really hot. So that's what they do. They block you from going inside. They start dumping garbage, sand, water, and everything they can into your box. But then they take it a step too far. Instead of fun abuses (like things you would say to your friend when you're exchanging in friendly banter), they start calling you names and abusing your family. You try to ignore it, but are you really able to ignore it if they start calling you "flop", "fat", and "a slur on your family name" among other things? (This question I want you to answer yourself.)

Now if I was in that position, I probably would have come out angry as hell as well. And I probably would have felt like pushing the person or yelling at the person who said all this to me. Who are you to comment on my career or my personal life?!! So let's you do the same. You come out and push the person who is doing all this to you and then you walk away. You calm down and you realize you were wrong in pushing the other person. Sure they did wrong by abusing you, but you were wrong to push. You could have spoken as well. In fact I probably would have realized the same. So you go back to tell this to that other person, but you slip and hit the other person again accidentally. And the other person can't take this. They think you're hitting them on purpose and since you're a girl/guy and the other person is a guy/girl (opposite gender basically) they think you're hitting on them and stuff.

Now they come back to you and start hurling even more abuses at you, while demanding that you be kicked out of the game. You're trying to say you're sorry, but given the abuses you can't. You try to ignore them even as the abuses hit you. So you just stop trying, while the other person keeps attacking and his/her other team members join in by starting to call you "cheap" and "fake" and "not fair game" and on and on and on.

Now you tell me who did what wrong and who should be yelled at for what. Don't think in terms of the housemates, but rather just in terms of yourself and another person. You tell me. Were you wrong in pushing the other person? Was the other person wrong in getting angry for you pushing him/her? Were you wrong in trying to say "sorry" but not saying it because the other person was angry?

If you answer "no" to any of the above questions, then please go ahead and continue bashing (but outside this thread). But if you answer "yes" to all the above questions, then stop and think. Are you doing wrong by bashing?
