My basic position is that there are so many threads by people who don't like her, Why not have a space for those who do. Doesn't mean people can't be critical, but I have honestly been dismayed by the relentless negativity.
I understand when you like someone and others are critical, it makes you want to stand up for them more. I'm like that with Tom Cruise. I'm not keen on his scientology behaviour, but I'll overlook it if anyone is (to me, needessly) nasty about him. There's seems to be so many hardline critics and fans that those who think some positive and some negative things, get aggro from both sides. Personally, am supportive of some of their charity work, and them speaking at the UN, etc, but I did receive criticism when I looked into One Young World and was bemused by what the purpose of such a "charity" was other than to be a cash cow. It was taken as an attack on Meghan. (Even though it's now being looked at by the charity commission.)
I've said before that if people want a thread where they're just going to say positive things about Meghan, then posters with more negative takes should leave the thread alone. But equally, if there's a thread where you know people are going to be more critical, why do people who are offended by that keep posting on it, having a go at people? What do they hope to achieve? A change of mindset? Is that likely?
I've seen on here people posting both critical and positive things and the general attitude of the thread has been middle of the road. When posters then start to come on berating people for not supporting Meghan because she's a woman, the thread starts to veer off topic and, just Iike me and TC, it just raises the stakes as people take entrenched positions. Which is surely the opposite of what Meghan's admirers want?
