The PR Whodunnit?

[StormzyinaTCup]

So what is this all about then?
Who did it and why?
And whoever's PR team is responsible needs tearing off a strip, it's going to backfire.
I know there was a thread about this earlier today but it was deleted due to questions over how genuine the OP was. As this story is everywhere at the moment I thought I would have a try myself and see how we go. Just a couple of preemptive points:

1. My MN credentials are rock solid so don't anyone even go there😁
2. Lets also keep some perspective, at the end of the day we are talking about a bunch of privileged and entitled millionaires who likely wouldn't even pee on us if we were on fire and that goes for both 'sides'.

🤞🤞🤞🤞

To be honest, when I see stupid nicknames like the one above, it has always served me well to just not read the post, it stood out at the bottom. I am sure the residents of that town would love your rudeness...

yep me too.

I know the royals are a soap opera for most of us, but this is so melodramatic it's hilarious.

(Btw no one cares about disgusting Camilla.)

See, I find sweeping statements hilarious as well.

You may not like Camilla. That is fine. But to say no one cares and that she is disgusting is melodramatic too.

You don’t speak for everyone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And 'disgusting Camilla' isn't purple prose? 🤣🤣🤣. Sorry for irritating you

Unfortunately Meghans fan club can't take criticisms of their heroine.

I don't think Camila is "disgusting" like all people she has done stuff that isn't nice years ago. but people can and do change.
I do think her keeping company with likes of JC weird. likewise any of the RF remaining in touch with Morgan. that says a lot about them imo.
but the RF is known for being mates with not nice people.

But it's OK to say Harry and Meghan are "disgusting individuals"? It goes both ways, that's what I was highlighting.

So you think a couple and particularly a wife who were welcomed into a family, walked down the aisle by Charles, given everything she wanted, (it's proven there was a 30 page dossier of help and advice), then because they can't have their own way being half in and half out (glamour, but none of the grind) went on to lie on worldwide TV, distort facts, publish a book full of vindictiveness towards his family, made millions of dollars on the back of all shit, are not disgusting. Many people would disagree with you.

I don't love the royal family at all, but feel sympathy for having fallen for superficial charm. Well kate didn't or William. I think they have good bullshit monitors.

oh I have that

Did I say that was ok?

No.

It may be what you were trying to highlight but it wasn’t what you said.

To the same end, as Samcro writes about Camilla, do I agree with some of the things that have transpired regarding Harry or Meghan? No.

But I won’t go calling them disgusting people. Or popping sweeping asides onto a statement.

I think @michaelmacrae was illustrating that others can say that sort of thing too, after a particularly vitriolic post about H&M. Which we see endlessly on these threads.

And you think a home wrecker who had an affair with a married man, which cruelly destroyed his poor wife, hangs out with abusers like JC and Piss, is not disgusting. Even her own exh says she's cruel and a "wrecker". Many more would - and do - disagree with you. (And that goes for Charles is too.)

@Roussette thank you

On threads regarding both sides Roussette. Both sides.

It isn’t fair either way. I don’t see why attacking the ‘other side’ (for want of a better phrase) has become the acceptable way to go forward.

Absolutely fine to have an opinion - we all have them. Some more robust than others. Again, I wouldn’t have it any other way. We all see things differently.

But I see it all the time on these threads. Snide, unwarranted and off on a tangent pops go unchallenged if it is about the ‘other side’, yet challenged robustly if it concerns the individuals they support.

Fair enough Arcane but there is a plethora of unpleasant attacks, stupid nicknames, baseless vitriol and disgust about H&M. Just word salad that means nothing.
Of course, I am on a certain side, but really.... those that don't think H&M are spawn of the devil find it wearing to see non-informative insulting drivel that brings nothing to the discussion. And I will challenge that.

I noticed that the poster called Montecito by an unpleasant name. Is this reasonable or warranted?

Yes there is.

But it is prevalent on the William and Kate threads too.

Both should be challenged really. And they aren’t.

I agree.

But despite someone else’s actions during his career, and comments on Twitter, should he be referred to as ‘Piss’?

I think not. And it kind of illustrates my point.

Some things are challenged or commented upon.

Others are not.

I would say that wasn’t reasonable or warranted either.

So true
i don’t think comparing H&M threads with the very rare W&K ones.
it’s like wack a mole with these ones

H&M obviously really upset you so why do you read about them ?

Yes there are more threads about H&M and yes it is like whack a mole.

But regardless of the amount of threads, it doesn’t negate the drivel that is written about William and Kate either.

There is rightly outrage expressed about some of the awful things about H&M. I don’t see the same outrage when equally awful things are said about William and Kate. Despite the same posters frequenting the thread.

It happens. Unfair both ways.

friends with Savile..

This is not something you can throw at Charles. Everybody, it seems was taken in by him - the big fancy funeral etc.
The truth came out very slowly in the weeks after his death. His grave stone was removed too, I seem to remember.
Unless you think he told Charles all about his evil deeds and Charles was O.K with that?

So, are we only supposed to read the people we like and of whose behaviour we approve?
Could be a bit dull, maybe?
