BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / CHAT ROOM!

Fine. But why should others deal with the consequences of your own decisions?

**Posted by kittykat** August 31, 2013 1:23 pm

I never said they had to. Twitter is not a viable option for everybody.

Why so bitter?

**Posted by Mattlocked** August 31, 2013 1:23 pm

Sorry, what is "sheeple"?

**Posted by kittykat** August 31, 2013 1:25 pm

Well, sheep always move in a group and do everything that the others do. It's a common term here for anyone who does everything that other people do because they think they should.

You didn't like Davina's idea because you don't want to be part of the sheeple as you like to call them.
So you don't want to use Twitter. No problem. But what are you complaining now about?

EDIT: What do you want the forum to do, Kitty?

Sheeple

SHēpəl/
noun
informal derogatory1.
people compared to sheep in being docile, foolish, or easily led.

I think the chat room is the best place to discuss series 3 as it airs, with a spoiler warning so people can avoid it if they wish to.

Thanks. Well, I know what sheep means - just sheeple was new to me.

Am I a part of the sheeple when I'm in this forum? Or fangirling at Benedict? (Just a thought....)

**Posted by Harriet** August 31, 2013 1:33 pm

No, Mattlocked, sheeple are always the others

**Posted by kittykat** August 31, 2013 1:33 pm

I've mostly seen it applied to Twitter

**Posted by Mattlocked** August 31, 2013 1:33 pm

Or when I'm using a chat? Or a computer in general?

**Posted by kittykat** August 31, 2013 1:34 pm

I never said that.

Well, if you use an iphone, I'd say yes, perhaps

Just out of interest, Harriet, which country do you live in?

**Posted by Harriet** August 31, 2013 1:37 pm

For a person who blocked her PM-account to me, you are pretty straight forward

**Posted by kittykat** August 31, 2013 1:38 pm

So what's your answer?

**Posted by Harriet** August 31, 2013 1:41 pm

My answer is: I don't want to share personal details here.

**Posted by kittykat** August 31, 2013 1:42 pm

Ah, I see. That tells me everything I need to know anyway Explains a lot...

**Posted by Harriet** August 31, 2013 1:45 pm

Fine. Can we get back to topic now?

I was just thinking: when and where does it start?
