MN hq, can we not just have a blanket ban on threads about Megan Markle?

I realise that people are going to say freedom of speech and all that, but the reality is that every single thread about MM descends into hate speech from about three posts in.

You wouldn’t tolerate it against a mn user, and in fact some years ago talk of Gina Ford was banned because she threatened legal action against the site. So why is it ok to direct that kind of consistent hatred at an individual who happens to be in the public eye?

Some have suggested having a particular MM topic, but that would just become a hate corner.

This thread is already descending. Give it a rest!

Really is there genuine hate speech? If so this should be reported to the police.

If not then posts within talk guidelines should be allowed.

I don’t think she said no criticism, did she? Just no hatred.....

Didn't you even read the thread title @BertrandRussell ?

She wants a blanket ban.
