It's weird how you think you deserve privacy to bitch (my opinion of course!) about this family on an open discussion forum you signed up to, but the family in question deserve none.
It's called democracy. People can discuss other people in the public eye. On MN, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Blogs, in Newspapers, on TV there's a line, and as long as people stay within that loiine they have a basic right to express their thoughts.
Yes it is your opinion and I have mine. Can I ask, do you tell other people discussing other public individuals on MN that you disapprove. Or it is just threads about M? The Katie Price ones? the Prince Andrew ones? Any other famous individuals. No?
If you disagree with something said you can engage and give alternative hypothesis as have some others. You can also report posts that cross that line (there definitely have been some, and this can be positive and necessary)
However merely telling us you disapprove of what grown adults are posting is not engaging it's lecturing. The hide thread button is there if bothers you this much.
