P.S
Also Mark does get stick because he is an ‘out there’ kind of character and people feel free to comment on his sexuality, appearance and mannerisms. That is expected as you are on a television program. I feel he takes them better then most and in the same way your are allowed to comment on him he is able to defend himself and comment on what you say!
Be interested to see who else you feel has changed?
First, thanks for a reasoned rebuttal and the thoughtful comments. To be honest, I am not really that interested in the series, and only watched it out of family loyalty. No information about anyone was passed to me by the family member, and I based my judgement solely on what I have seen on read on T4 and here.
Mark came out well in the series, a likable lad, if a little loud and maybe a bit of an air-head. Based only on the series, I would say that he is a nice person, and his sexually or whatever has nothing to do with the rest of us, and we should not have any comments/debates on that score.
However, what he has consistantly shown on this forum do not reflect well on him. He has been rude and offensive (and at one stage even threatened physical violence to the writer of a light-hearted review) towards the slightest hint of criticism of him or his best friend. This seems so different from his screen personality. That is why I came to the conclusion that 'fame' has gone to his head.
Free feel to put right any injustices you may preceive. Its always a pleasure to be proved wrong by reasoned agruements.
