A genuinely nice and friendly thread about Meghan

[MonteShitshow]

Hi everyone! As suggested on another thread, I’m starting this to provide some balance to the MM / MS threads which have been perceived as bullying and not joyful.

So please feel free to join in and share something pleasant and joyful about your day or any comments about MM / MS as an antidote if the other threads have caused you upset. Please be nice!

I’ll begin by saying that writing notes by hand is a lovely thing to do, and conveys sincerity beyond any effusive email or text message. And nice handwriting is a bonus! Hand cramp is a problem of the digital age.

Also, I’ve watched two episodes of the series now, and I love the garden plants in California. Waiting for the spring to bloom here!

Spectre…chill, please!

I have no idea why you are so permanently angry on here but I hope you’re not so cross in real life. I’ve never read a post by you that isn’t attacking someone personally - and hardly ever addressing the matter under discussion.

You angrily accuse people of ‘policing’ threads and It’s clearly an attempt to shut others down.

If you get so cross with pps, why on earth do you even join in at all? It’s not really in the spirit, is it?

Calm down and maybe focus on the issues, not the posters?

Oh here comes your rhtetoric thay im angry lol im not angry. You clearly read my posts with that filter though maybe you shoud reexamine that. Im telling you im not angry and I don't post in anger. So accept that because you don't lnow you can say im angry but that doesnt make it true. Unless you want imply Im lying..because you clearly know me and know best and only you speak the truth.

Do you don’t believe the many people on both sides of the Atlantic who have accused Meghan of bullying ?
The director of a clothes shoot who described her as a nightmare ?
What about the late Queen who ticked her off for the way she spoke to staff ?
The aide who was spotted in tears by Rebecca English after a terse exchange with Meghan ?
Are they all lying ?
If none of this is true why didn’t H and M insist on the bullying report being published ( with staff names redacted)? Why didn’t they leak it ( they are good at leaking).

A lot of people comment on your anger and aggressive posts I’ve noticed @Spectre8 I’ve read a lot of your posts over many threads and you are always outraged at posters, @CoffeeCantata is not alone in interpreting your posts as anger, when so many people comment on it maybe you should self reflect and consider they may have a point and change the tone of your posts if indeed you are not angry as you continually claim, rather than angrily claiming you are not angry 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why have this highly litigious pair never legally challenged these 'allegations' reported in The Times, Coutiers, Hollywood Reporter, Vanity Fair, etc etc?

Why would they let them stand?

I’m up in the morning early!

Well then, there’s clearly a mismatch between what you’re actually like and how you come across on here, because your posts do seem very aggressive and mean towards people. But there’s a dead easy way to fix that - simply engage with the question under discussion and don’t comment on the poster personally. It’s that simple!

I know that my original question was to Radice, who has done a runner, and OK - you’re not obliged to answer in their place, but what about all those allegations, though? Do you think all those many people are lying, or is something else going on?

Someone on another thread reminded me of the time that M snapped at an aide during the funeral walkabout and I watched the video again. You get a quite shocking glimpse of a very different Meghan from the image she likes to project in that split second before she spots the camera and I can well believe she could be unpleasant to work with, especially if she thought you were beneath her. My point is that there is definitely another side to Meghan!

Like I said allegations. I dont know what the truth is. Just like coffeecanata says here about me being angry...allegedly....doesnt mean her allegation of me is true. Do you know if its true when she says im angry? Do you believe her or believe me when I say im not?

And you might want to spend your time talking about allegations which often means also then making horrible comments about the person calling them all sorts of names and generally being negative about them, but I dont.

I dont know qho is lying and who is telling the truth hence they are allegations. The palace did an investigation, that report if published would then be something I'd comment on.

The only mismatch is from you. Again with dictating how a person should be on this forum. Its not your forum. Honestly its getting a bit creepy that you constantly insist that people should do and behave your way.

"A genuinely nice and friendly thread about Meghan" is the thread title and yet it is impossible to post anything even remotely pleasant about Meghan without the usual suspects getting very very worked up and having to shout from the roof tops about what an awful human being she is.

As for @Spectre8 it seems to me that she is ganged up on and I'm surprised Mumsnet don't step in sometimes. She is continually criticized about the way she posts and her grammar and it is bordering on bullying.

On a positive note, because after all that is what this thread is about, Meghan's Rosé wine gets really positive reviews. Being a summer rosé wine drinker meself, I was interested. One review made me laugh... My experience with it? It is smooth—almost dangerously smooth, as we finished the whole bottle in one night without even trying.
That's me in a nutshell 😅

Totally agree.

Agree

That’s disingenuous (or possibly you haven’t seen recent posts).

pps went to great lengths to emphasise that it wasn’t a criticism of Spectre’s SPAG - for all I know it’s much better than mine, and mistakes don’t bother me anyway. I’ve said this more than once, but S does not acknowledge it. Several pps have said that, but Spectre seems determined to misinterpret.

The problem arose because some of S’s posts were unintelligible, so couldn’t be responded to - lots of random letters making it impossible to read. This was treated in a jokey way, and S admitted they had typed/texted very fast and not checked the post. No problem, as long as you have a sense of humour, but offence was taken. It was clearly NOT a literacy issue, which it has been interpreted as, but a ‘I don’t give a toss’ issue, which S admitted to.

It’s a storm in a teacup. But despite what I say above, several pps had become irritated by the way S tends to attack contributors personally rather than joining in with points raised. I think Spectre should accept their part in this ruckus - and be less aggressive when posting. There is always an ‘attack’ feel to their posts.

@Extiainoiapeial

How do you know that Spectre is a ‘she’?

Fascinated by these assumptions!

Spectre - you yourself often comment in your posts in a way which indicates that you follow individuals a bit too closely for comfort. You have previously informed me that I always say this or that, for example (and there are other egs). So please don’t call my behaviour creepy when this kind of personal attack is precisely what some pps find annoying about your posts.

Pot? kettle?

And yes, this isn’t what the thread is about.

I have no idea. Just a normal assumption that doesn't mean anything, given this is a 'mumsnet' forum, hint 'mum'! .. Not sure it deserves 'fascination' from you?! That's funny! I will say 'they' if you'd prefer. if I remember which I probably won't

👋 😁

No, but you and Spectre are scolding me big-time, and to do that you better be perfect yourselves !😀

I bet you’d have pulled me up.

Dear oh dear. I never even mentioned your name in my post. 😲😂
I was speaking in general, but if the cap fits....

And I would never ever 'scold' anyone for saying 'she'. It is my default term on a forum for mothers. So please do not think I would be telling you off for saying 'she said'. It would never occur to me in a million years!

The palace did an investigation, that report if published would then be something I'd comment on.

OK - if publication is your theshold for commenting - perhaps you could then comment on each of the other independent and separate reports published in:

The Times

Courtiers

The Hollywood Reporter

Vanity Fair

Access Hollywood

Interesting to watch the swoop in and subsequent derial - to avoid facing the challenge of commenting on legally water-tight allegations of bullying which H&M have never addressed. Pigeon chess in action. Dont fall into the trap.

Oh - another thing, which is actually pretty crucial to this issue…

Referring to the very funny post where Spectre seemed to have leaned on the keyboard/keypad, I said the post was unintelligible - as an explanation of why I couldn’t respond to it. S then had a go at me, claiming I had called them ‘unintelligent’, which is an entirely different thing, a total misunderstanding/wilful misinterpretation of what I’d said, and something I would never write on MN (might think it….).

Now I cannot help it if people don’t know the difference between saying what they’ve written is unintelligible, and saying that they’re unintelligent, can I?

Innocent of the charges, Yer Honour!

Of course. Spot on, Deirdre, and I wouldn’t waste my typing finger except that I don’t like taking the blame for something I haven’t done and it had got very personal.

But you’re absolutely right: derail, distract, deflect seems to be the mantra!

How is talking about the good reviews of Meghan's Rose wine on a thread entitled 'a genuinely nice and friendly thread about Meghan'... a derail?

If anything you and coffeeC are derailing what was supposed to be a positive thread.

There is no point in trying to post on this thread at all. I didn't 'swoop in' ... I was deleting a lot of threads on my 'threads I'm watching' and this one popped up from when I posted a while ago.
But, yes, no point, the posts on here are nothing to do with the thread title.

However, I have a nice bottle of Rose wine in the fridge for our BBQ tonight!

OK - no hard feelings! 😄

I will drop the matter because it’s irrelevant to the thread - but I’m not happy to lie down and take blame from S for their misunderstandings. I wanted to set the matter straight. One thing about me - I do try to say what I mean and mean what I say, so when it gets twisted, it matters to me.

My only wish for S is that they stick to discussion and leave out the accusations against pps …and maybe lighten up and have a bit of fun on here?

And I won’t mention typos again…
