Do you think some of you are addicted to hating Harry and Meghan?

[wowwhataday]

More and more these manic threads are popping up on mumsnet, wild posts and theories and then hundreds of posts brimming with excitement about catching them out or exposing them. It’s like a game or a hunt. Have many of you crossed the line from interested to addicted?

a quick look shows you that thread is far from gushing. the usual suspects are there do the usual.

Um spectre8 comment was aggressive and uncalled for no matter who it was supposed to be addressed to!
she obviously addressed it to bustingbaobun because she referred to all her points.

earlier she mocked @Profhilodisasterafter she shared her worry about her seriously ill grandchild .

these comments are not new or unprecedented unfortunately, how exactly can you wave this away as if it was nothing!

It’s shouldn’t matter who the post was aimed at, it was vile in its nature and not acceptable in any way shape or form. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for an apology of any kind as that would mean admitting they were wrong and I don’t think introspection is a quality they have

Do you think it was ok to address that post to anyone?

I am not sure that I should comment until SpectreB has had the opportunity to explain because I don’t understand her post fully ...

…but … at the risk of being flamed… what I think she was saying, is that it’s not nice when your life and actions are picked apart and commented on by people who don’t know you, and that applies whether you are an ordinary Mumsnetter or whether you are H&M

And if. that was what was meant, then I don’t thinks it’s a totally unreasonable thing to say.

For the record, I am very sorry that BustingBaoBun 💐
has been upset by this thread.

And I disagree with searching back through the posting history of individuals, as I think that is intrusive and too personal.

Given the number of negative threads about H&M though, I think op asked a legitimate question, as long as it is discussed in general terms.

As previously stated, I name change regularly because I don’t only post on the RF threads, I have posted seeking advice about my dc in the past, and I don’t want my posts to be linked across the site. I have always name changed since the hacking incidents. And I name change because it’s within the rules and therefore an option open to everyone. So, similar to what NewAgeNewMe
said down thread, name changing is not always done for malign reasons is my point.

Also, I’m going to be honest, it’s sometimes a bit stressful posting on the RF boards when your view does not align with the majority. 😬

And having seen what happened to some Republican posters who were brave, and didn’t bc, I stick to name changing thanks!

I am really grateful to Samcro I think it was for acknowledging that earlier.

It isn’t all posters who are unpleasant by any means, but a few can be relentless, and when it’s two or three against a dozen it can feel a bit intimidating.

Posters on both sides feel things deeply and both sides can be swept along and reply more forcefully than is ideal.

But it’s just a sm website at the end of the day! Tomorrow’s digital chip paper 😃

Or maybe not as far as bots are concerned, but that discussion is a bit beyond me technically speaking.

Hopefully, however trenchantly we defend our separate positions, we can ultimately agree to disagree.

@Reallyhowisthatthecase333 and laughing emojis when someone has posted about a seriously ill child?

I think it’s interesting that a fair amount of non h and m fans immediately came to the defence of Bau after this vicious comment, but I wonder how many “fans” (sorry.i can’t think of another word to describe people who like them) would have rushed to the defence of someone with an opposing view point?

The Republican posters on here are those of us who challenge H&M, and don't blindly believe them, don't excuse and indulge them, and don't kotow to them just because they are royal.
We dare to challenge their deceit, greed and manipulation.
Harry's complaint is that he isn't treated royally enough.

Sorry I haven’t seen the comment addressed to Profilodisaster but obviously it’s unacceptable to bring anyone’s grandchildren or children in to this.

As posted just now at 17.10 obviously it’s unacceptable to bring children or gc in to this. I have been at work and haven’t read that post but I am sorry you were upset by it Profhilodisaster.

I’m aware you are trying to be fair to all , but unfortunately in this case it will not work,
what was posted was meant exactly as it was written and it’s not the first time that a poster has been told they deserve abuse because they criticise h and m !

and frankly I have defended any poster regardless of whether I agree with them or not , when I see unrelated abuse directed at them , this has rarely been reciprocated apart from on one occasion that I can recall .

But apparently I’m obsessed, addicted and hateful! 🙄

Munnygirl & Jeffgoldblum

OK & OK

What more can I say?

It’s not up to me to control how you feel about things. I can only put my pov.

Neither side is blameless.

It’s a lovely evening outside!

And I will reiterate @Reallyhowisthatthecase333, had it been you on the receiving end after sharing such a story, I would not have hesitated to defend you to!

Unfortunately it’s thunder and lightning with hail here!

Oh no!

I hope it’s short lived!

My point was an observation and not how I felt about it. I just want to clarify that.

It’s very humid here

Me too ! , my tomato and cucumber plants have arrived early .

Send some my way , my pots need watering and I don't have a hosepipe 🙂

Well this went exactly how I thought it would...

Bustingbaobun you are right you don't make disparaging remarks sorry I had to just do this to you however you made comments about how awful it was that people go through your life and make disparaging comments and I used it to see how hypocritical the regular posters like Jeff etc are. Because saying it in another way would get the usual dismissive remarks.

And now we can see the typical posters who make disparaging comments about H&M leeping to your defence saying how vile my comment is yet this is what they do to those two practically everyday.

Reallyhowisthaythecase33 when you said what I think she was saying, is that it’s not nice when your life and actions are picked apart and commented on by people who don’t know you, and that applies whether you are an ordinary Mumsnetter or whether you are H&M

This 100%. But if I said it like you did as you can see people just dismiss it.

And now we can these posters hypocrisy.

And as for the laughing emoji, it was about this thread but of course some of you can't help yourself but speculate and make things up that it was directed at someone in particular when you had no idea. Just made up stuff that then other people read and believe it's true. Just like Jeff who read a comment and then decided it meant x when I never said it and now goes round saying how vile I am for being abusive when I never was.

But thats okay they can go round repeating that lie 🙄

When you're in a hole...it is time to stop digging.

You didn’t have to do anything. 🙄

That’s the worse excuse for attacking another poster I have ever seen!!
I take it you have been working on this excuse all afternoon?
you expected hateful posters to defend @BustingBaoBunfrom your attack to prove what exactly?
sorry try harder.

So wait? You are naming and blaming another poster for what you wrote?

Yes apparently it’s my fault people read what was posted!!

Looks like I'm posting in the middle of an argument! Haven't read it and don't care to, but wanted to post because I had a thought on this.

I've been staunchly critical of Meghan's actions and words on here since shortly after her wedding (less so Harry because I never had any higher idea of him, all we're seeing now I always thought existed). But just these last few weeks I've settled into not caring much at all, because she's not impacting others any more. I was never addicted to "hating" Meghan (so lame 🙄), but I was angry that she got away with doing so much harm to young and impressionable girls and women all in furtherance of her own narcissism and profit.

Now that it's plain for everyone to see that she's a vacuous, fame-hungry, greedy, venal woman who is wholly lacking in talent or skill in her chosen worlds, she can't influence so many people or so strongly. She's become largely irrelevant other than to those who like shouting into the far reaches of the internet (which is where I have come to think that those people who defend her so staunchly (why do they care? you don't even know her! 🙄) live).

So no. Never addicted, just angry at a grifter getting away with it. And not even that any more.

It’s straight out of the Harry and Megan instruction manual. Accept no blame at all as it isn’t my fault, it’s everyone else’s fault and even better name someone whose fault it is (without any discernible proof because who needs proof when I say it’s so) and let them take the blame. Job done .
