Oh no, this couldn´t be true. How could someone think so bad about BC?

Whoever wrote this is an idiot.

Luckily BC and SH "affair" doesn't seem like to be one of those inspiring endless tabloids' stories: they are both very discreet about their private life and I don't suppose B. is in for some showy gestures or antics, so press interest will quickly calm down. Hopefully he will ask James Rhodes NOT to tweet about the weddding, lol.

My only comment about this - what an utter rubbish.

From what I was reading yesterday on another forum, this doesn't surprise me...I've read worst on him... it was disturbing

The not so nice thing is, the more this link is being posted, the more relevant it's being tagged by search engines

Maybe you are right, so we should go back to the good sides of the engagement again.
What do you think her engagement ring looks like?

Ditto for me... I will "forget" the other forum too^^

I've not read that thing, and I am not going to either... but some people need to calm down.

Oh yes, I do wonder what the ring looks like. I am sure it's gorgeous and special... but isn't any engagement ring because it has a meaning like that?

**Posted by besleybean** November 11, 2014 6:21 pm

I'm not into them at all..
But these 2 are a traditiional couplel

**Posted by Ivy** November 12, 2014 7:46 pm

Has this been posted already? Conan sidekick Andy is really upset that Benedict got engaged. It's brilliant.
I like that someone makes fun of the so-called fans that are angry that Ben obviously isn't going to marry them. *LOL*

Personally I don't care if Benedict is engaged to a beautiful woman, a lovely man, or a wooly mamoth - just as long as he keeps making Sherlock. The advantages of being more "Sherlocked" than "Ben-Addicted"

**Posted by besleybean** November 12, 2014 8:02 pm

I agree with you.
Though I was a bit of both...
But I still love his work.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** November 12, 2014 10:21 pm

Oh I am still ben-addicted... and Sherlocked too... this doesn't change my drooling over him at all.

And my admiration for his talent will never stop either

**Posted by Ivy** November 12, 2014 10:47 pm

Yes exactly, why should it change. Even if he would become a monk or announce that he's gay would change that he's is f***ing hot and a brilliant actor.
It isn't in his contract to never have a relationship just to keep some 15 years old fans happy.

I don´t know where and when this was broadcasted or what it is but I find it hilarious in a crazy way:

**Posted by Neferu** November 13, 2014 8:58 am

It´s so funny, a mirror for all hysterical "fans" - good work.

**Posted by LaNena** November 13, 2014 9:08 am

Hilarious! I'm sure that something similar really happened to some of the BC fans. I'm glad that I'm not a teenager anymore

...and I have to add here that I don't want to insult any teenage fans – just saying that when I was a teenager maybe I would have reacted like that.
