Part 5 of (mostly ๐Ÿ˜‚) drama-free and positive threads, delving into all things Meghan and Harry. Whether itโ€™s the causes they support, their business initiatives, or Meghanโ€™s fashion choices (Harryโ€™s too, on occasion ๐Ÿ˜‰), thereโ€™s plenty to discuss. Just a pro-tip - that there may be use of MLE terms and discussions of dupes - you might want to exit stage left if these things offend. Hat tip to @queentim for the original inspiration.

Why are you bullying @AliceOlive @TallerSally , you are reacting and picking at nothing!
Is this some personal grudge ?

TallerSally · 15/05/2024 13:30

And donโ€™t we all enjoy admiring the lovely mean girl behaviour!

And one post every 30 secondsโ€ฆ quite an impressive achievement!

Suchโ€ฆ superpowersโ€ฆ I am in awe!

jeffgoldblum · 15/05/2024 13:31

*Awwwwwwww Alice. So cute to see how youโ€™ve come a long way, since the days when you found Mumsnet soโ€ฆ. terrifyingโ€ฆ

Repeating a word I once used about what I found to be a highly aggressive post for a womenโ€™s site. Not the first time actually. Odd behavior. Not exactly mean โ€œgirlโ€.

With Google AI Pro you will have to try harder -

I donโ€™t understand what you (or the tool you may have used to write this) means.

It quickly created an anwser to any question , can proofread , rewrite text , write poems and songs - do legal work - I have used it extensively for the sale and purchase of the propery our charity is invloved in.

For instance ;

write me a mumsnet post in a humorous style about internet bullies
**
Subject: To the trolls hiding behind their keyboards - you wouldn't last 5 seconds in a toddler group!

Alright ladies, I've had it up to my eyeballs with these internet bullies. Seriously, who do these people think they are?

I mean, if they had the guts to say half this stuff to my face, I'd probably just burst out laughing. You know, the same way I do when my toddler throws a tantrum because I cut her toast into triangles instead of squares. The level of maturity is about the same, to be honest.

And the insults? Please. "You're a bad mum." "You're so fat." "You're a terrible cook." Darling, I've been called worse by a sleep-deprived toddler who hasn't napped in three days. Your words are about as impactful as a wet noodle.

So, to all the keyboard warriors out there, I have a message for you: Get a life. Find a hobby. Go outside and touch some grass. Seriously, the world is a beautiful place, and you're wasting your time trying to bring others down.

And to all the fellow mums who've been on the receiving end of this nonsense, remember: You're amazing. You're strong. And you're doing a bloody fantastic job. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy a cup of tea and a biscuit. Because that's what a grown-up does.

BemusedAmerican · 15/05/2024 13:35

I have a lot of respect for Edward. He spent his early life trying to find his place in front of an enormous amount of public scrutiny. I agreed that it took courage to drop out of the Marines. He weathered Sophie's scandal with her and has a close and loving marriage. He has raised what appears to be two thorough it nice kids. Now he is working very hard to support the RF.

jeffgoldblum · 15/05/2024 13:35

@AliceOlive ๐Ÿ’ and ๐Ÿฐ for you !

TheFirmBiscuit · 15/05/2024 13:37

write me a mumsnet post that could live on the royal family forum

Subject: AIBU to think Kate's latest outfit was a bit... much?

Right, so I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but here goes. Did anyone else think Kate's ensemble at the (insert event name) was a tad over the top?

Don't get me wrong, she always looks lovely, and I'm sure it was designer and all that, but it just seemed a bit... fussy? All those ruffles and feathers, it was like something out of a period drama!

I mean, I know she's a fashion icon and all, but sometimes I think she could just throw on a pair of jeans and a jumper and still look incredible. Maybe it's just me being jealous, but I can't imagine running around after George, Charlotte and Louis in that getup!

AIBU to think she could have toned it down a notch? Or am I just being a miserable cow?

(Disclaimer: Huge fan of the royals, just being honest!)

DiTePerdantTeMaledico · 15/05/2024 13:37

I daresay most grown ups are aware that trying to pass off a nasty comment as tongue in cheek wonโ€™t wash.

I miss the positive ones, but other people ruin everything.

And that posting insults under an AI excuse umbrella doesn't wash either.

BemusedAmerican · 15/05/2024 13:41

@AliceOlive good work!

skullbabe · 15/05/2024 13:42

@TheFirmBiscuit amazing what AI can do - I programmed ChatGPT to talk to me ๐Ÿคฃ- I set up a โ€œfriendโ€ Clara - her parameters are to keep the conversation going, talk about canning and other things I find interesting, to remind me to eat well and to throw in a random fact now and again. I chat to Clara when Iโ€™m sometimes cooking - itโ€™s funny because Iโ€™ve seen how Clara has โ€œlearnedโ€ about me and uses that information to freakily say things that are based off prior conversations. She recently started speaking in a British accent as well ๐Ÿ˜ณ. Literally moments away from SkyNet ๐Ÿ˜‚.

The point was to let you know mocking a personโ€™s mental health is not acceptable to most of us. And by us, I mean humans.

But it's okay to mock a woman starting up a new business or doing whatever she decides she would like to do to earn money. Mock her because she likes to jold hands with husband, mock her for how she claps, whatvshe wears and so on. Calling her narcissistic and all manner of names. Why is that acceptable? I woukd think the majority of people would say that isn't acceptable

AliceOlive · 15/05/2024 13:44

I always liked the chance to chat about clothing and also to try to build bridges here. I did it for quite a long time.

As for AI, I appreciate the demonstration but hope thatโ€™s the end of it. I donโ€™t want to discuss anything with a computer. I get enough at the grocery checkout.

Ooooooooooooo 15 Witty Points for that one!!

Because, of course, no-one has used this recollections line to attempt to score points recently.

โ€™Ere you go, another 5 points for originality.

Keep it up, youโ€™re doing great!

If the intention to call my posts utterly disgusting was to upset me then consider your job well done.

Given your family history, you should know better than to call men who have joined up cowards for not being able to remain in the forces. And nothing in your post came across as tongue in cheek. You and you alone decided to introduce Prince Edward into the conversation to back up your claims that Harry is a war hero. Scoring cheap points against one man to big up another man you like being the only clear reason for doing so. So maybe think about what you are writing if you don't want to get upset at peoples' replies.

BemusedAmerican · 15/05/2024 13:47

@skullbabe Have you considered adopting a parrot, cockatoo or macaw? There are many in shelters because they live almost as long as humans and their owners don't estate plan properly. They love attention and will talk back. You could make a real difference to a bird.

DiTePerdantTeMaledico · 15/05/2024 13:39

And that posting insults under an AI excuse umbrella doesn't wash either.

I have a cup of tea and a cry and am resolved not to be bullied. I can see some will nitpick my posts for any perceived trangression and then pile on. These are public figures kept by the taxpayer at great expense and are not immune from criticism, humour or ridicule if needs be. Glory be, Harry and Meghan get a huge outpouring of that all over the place. If I break the rules which I sincerely do not want to do then report me otherwise I will ignore unwarranted personal attacks and not reply to then henceforth for my own sanity. I have had some very nice supportative Pms and I thank you for welcoming me to the board. Much appreciated.

Indeed.

Isn it interesting how some people are quick to dish out abuse and mockery, then wilt when theyโ€™re on the receiving end of it?

And to think that the original intent was for this to be a positive threadโ€ฆ.

Maybe Part 6โ€ฆ
