What next for the Sussexes?

Casuaala · 07/05/2023 14:49

I thought yesterday couldn't have gone better, all things considered; there was the least amount of drama or negative coverage possible regarding the Sussexes.

I'd like to hope that this marks a fresh start. Harry's got all the recriminations off his chest. The Royal Family have maintained a dignified silence and hopefully the future is rosy. The Sussexes can have the life they want in the US, with a small presence in family events back here when appropriate. (I wouldn't be surprised however if Megan never makes it back on UK soil).

'Just him then, I can't remember. But it has been endless, you know that

And the same back at you and any of the other dwindling supporters. Would you like me to nc so you can't keep track of my mildly mocking posts?

It's funny because iirc you get a big sniffy when folk point out how many times you post 🤔. Let's both support free speech and as long as post within TGs we can say what we like whenever we like?

What? You have been at this for years? 😂😂 Now that is an obsession!

Many have. Just as long as me, if not longer. Of course they NC regularly so we really don't know do we?
But I do recognise some. Very obsessed!

So if you're a critic you're 'obsessed', if you're a supporter and post on every Harry thread going you're not obsessed. Got it Grin.

No one will believe it, but I was quite the Royalist at one point. 😂 But slowly and surely, the scales fell from my eyes. It took probably a decade for my view to change and many incidents changed my opinion

Wait, what!? I think it would surprise exactly no one. Harry and Meghan are royals.

Not dwindling, absolutely not.

When I used to post on the H&M threads right when they met, engaged, married, I was sometimes a lone voice on there. Maybe 1 or 2 occasionally if that.

Far far more now yippee!!

Of course you can post how you like, I thought we were having a bit of a laugh about it mostly.

Nah. I'm talking about the whole shebang. The Monarchy, the RF, all of it.

You absolutely fit my definition. I fully believe you’d see H&M sitting in the throne tomorrow if you could.

Absolutely fucking not!

TBH @Roussette I don't post as much as I used to. I don't want to be accused of being racist on here if I am critical of M&H. It's like walking on bloody eggshells.

Eh? I can't recall using the obsessed word at all 🤔

Let me trawl back..

ArcaneWireless · 12/05/2023 17:52

W&K young modern family Boden style (just look at the nauseating Norfolk beach advert for them) .

This wasn’t pleasant either though. I’ve yet to see a sentence with nauseating in it being used in a positive way. Just because it isn’t quite as acidic as some other posts, don’t kid on that it isn’t as bad of a thing to say. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As for the ‘I didn’t say that? You did.’?

Ot is almost like the Oprah interview over again.

Someone said I was obsessed. I pointed out so are detractors of H&M too.

That's it really

I havent done an Oprah interview ! I don't understand that comment sorry.

I may be old but of course I know I said that, it was only a few hours ago, I'm not that senile!

What is your point? Are you correcting my posts or not liking the tone of them or trying to catch me out?!

There were a lot of posters who found the beach video thing really cringey, I'm not the only one, they said so on MN! but the only one who gets picked up on saying so

ArcaneWireless · 12/05/2023 18:05

I'm not trying to catch you out Rousette.

If a lot of other posters mentioned the beach ad as cringey then fair enough.

Why exactly did you feel the need to repeat it here though? I didn’t notice it before I don’t think but I noticed it here which is why I commented. And you posted it which is why I only picked you up on it.

Just because some are criticising Harry, it doesn't necessarily mean that there has to be an insult to another royal/royals to address the balance. Or deflect or distract.

Plenty of that here.

ArcaneWireless · 12/05/2023 18:13

As for the Oprah mention? You might not actually say something but like the Oprah interview, it is very much how it is coming across. I don’t think I’m the only one either.

Fine to defend Harry. Why wouldn’t you - as a person with unscaly eyes (gosh thanks for that)- but there is no requirement to be snidey about others to do that.

Please. Read the whole post that I did about manipulation and PR and the press and the RF. I was replying to a very long post by another poster. You pull one tiny bit out of that long post earlier on today - out of context - to berate me with.

What do you mean by repeating it. That was the only time I said it. You are the one repeating it, and amplifying it.
It is just my opinion but it is in the context of a much longer post from me.

I am just not sure how to cope with this sort of microscopic attention to my posts. It isn't really very fair to be honest.

I just don't get this.

You want to call me snidey. Fine. I didn't realise I was. I have views and opinions. I should be allowed to post them like very many other posters who may have differing opinions to me. I don't see them getting the attention you are giving me at this moment.

Rhondaa · 12/05/2023 18:24

'I am just not sure how to cope with this sort of microscopic attention to my posts. It isn't really very fair to be honest.'

Not aimed at me but ditto! You pull apart posts too, we all do it. Just own it and stop being all disingenuous.

I disagree. I don't ever go and look back on your posts and see what you've written and then come on and bandy it about. I could have done today, but really that is not my style. I don't do it with anyone.

However, I get this all the time. I have had MNers quote stuff I said literally years ago. I comment on what I see at the time. I don't advance search stuff and gleefully say... you said this or that in 2018. So you own that and stop the disingenuous crap. Thanks

ArcaneWireless · 12/05/2023 18:33

I did read your whole post thank you.

I just wondered why you had to add the words cringey and nauseating.

I didn’t call you snide either but that is how that part of your post read to me.

if you think I’m only berating you on this thread then you are mistaken. As you say, I can say what I like thanks.

Believe it or not, there was a time when I thought your posts were decent and measured and they made me think. Adding something nippy into a reasonable post just serves to weaken it for me. Again just my opinion.

Im not giving you microscopic attention either. I picked out something I wasn’t keen on. That’s all.

Roussette · 12/05/2023 18:38

Whatever you say Hmm

Maybe look back at what other said about the beach thing. I'm not the only one saying so! I posted what I felt about PR and the RF. That is all. You didnt like part of what I said in that long post, that's fine.

Roussette · 12/05/2023 18:54

polkadotdalmation · 12/05/2023 18:57

Wow, the passive aggressive tones of the harry and meghan supporters are ramping up somewhat. I totally agree with the poster who said they feel like they are walking on eggshells on the RF threads. Sign of abusive behaviour in my experience.

ArcaneWireless · 12/05/2023 19:00

Was there any need for the eyeroll? Because whatever you intend it to mean - it looks snide in my book.

I’m not terribly inclined to go back and look at whatever others wrote in nineteen oatcake or whatever. I don’t have the time or inclination to do so.

Why pull others out on for previously saying similar to what you chose to type today anyway? That is all I commented on. So why suggest I go back and look at historic posts? I’m sure if I had the time to look and quote the others who said similar, they’d wonder why I was raking over their old posts. You don’t like it. I don’t when it has been done to me and I daresay they wouldn’t like it either.
