I was so saddened by the interview with harry and megan , why would two people who have got exactly what they wanted are happy to create such pain for others

Elliane I didn't know Margaret Thatcher nor did hundreds of families in the North East but boy did we hate her!

Hate is a very strong word trisher
You can truly hate what someone does but hating a person you don't know surely means you yourself have a problem?

Only made surreal and derailed as usual by the usual names shouting loudest. Doubtless it won’t be long before it’s pulled and it’s almost always because of the same people criticising what others are saying.

Yes. And I got told at 18 46 that I was being insulting just for asking a question?

If you mean it is a mix of fact and fantasy Alegrias1, I agree smile

Alegrias1 Wed 26-May-21 19:03:31

This thread is surreal. And for an M&H thread, that's really saying something.

Trisher You forget that most of those making comments are women as well. I would have made exactly the same comment if you had been a man.

Doing the woman whinge thing in this context is emotional blackmail.

What's calling someone irrational M0nica?
You haven't explained your "stand alone" statement. And now I'm using emotional blackmail!!!
Any other sins you want to lay at my door.
Elliane I didn't know Margaret Thatcher nor did hundreds of families in the North East but boy did we hate her!
Annie If it harmed me I was in great company.
I could report half of these posts as personal attacks -which is against GN's policies. But I won't I prefer to leave your statements for others to read.
Interesting that all these people who don't hate can be as insulting as they like to anyone. Presumably they just do it out of a spirit of altruism.

Half these threads are taken up with posters criticising others for their comments about people (H &M) they don't know. Fair enough.
It seems pretty ironic now however that these same posters are calling others "haters" of Harry. Don't you have to know someone to hate them?

Namsnanny Wed 26-May-21 18:11:51

Geeezz Alegrias1 Just a little bit OTT? Maybe a bit a
Holier than thou?

trisher to justify the use of words like hate in such dramatic terms, indicates a lot of heat under the peterpan.
I'm sorry if I inflammed it.
For me it's just a discussion.
I neither hate or like Harry and Meghan.
I find them both disingenuous, and rather oleagineus, and that's me expressing my feelings.
But hate? Its an extreme emotion, so therefore a person has to be irrational to use it.
In the same way that being in love is irrational.
And IMV it is arrogant to accuse others of feeling hate when they themselves havent expressly used the word.

Anniebach Wed 26-May-21 17:55:16

My belief in hatred is it harms the hater more than the hated ,
anyway this thread is about Megan and Harry

Calendargirl Wed 26-May-21 17:51:08

I was brought up never to say you ‘hate’ someone.

trisher Wed 26-May-21 17:28:57

Oh I forgot the "arrogant" at least I'm not fooling myself about my feelings!
I'm a bolshie, arrogant, woman who hates oppression, oppressors and hypocrites. And I'm proud of it!

Alegrias1 Wed 26-May-21 17:28:46

A poster is called comfortable with being able to feel hatred, arrogant, judgemental, and not respectful of other people. Oh, and irrational.

You can all decide for yourselves who I think is being rude.

I have no idea where any of that came from, but it feels mighty suspicious to me. But let those without sin, and all that.

trisher Wed 26-May-21 17:23:47

Ah now I'm irrational! The constant dismissal of a view expressed by a woman! Really why is it irrational to say some people aren't honest about their feelings or honest in their comments? Or that this is what H&M are constantly accused of?
As for the comment about my "statement as a stand alone sentence"What the f* does that mean? aren't all the comments on here related to others?

Namsnanny Wed 26-May-21 17:12:27

Alegrias1

And I'm accused of being rude......

Which poster or comment is this directed at then Alegrias1?

Namsnanny Wed 26-May-21 17:10:18

trisher your statement just isnt rational. As M0nica said arrogant.
But so revealing. Some things make more sense now.

M0nica Wed 26-May-21 17:09:24

I am only commenting on your statement as a stand alone sentence.

trisher Wed 26-May-21 17:07:13

M0nica

Trisher just read your last comment.

Regardles of the subject of this thread, that comment takes my breath away, it is so arrogant and judgmental.

Come down from your ivory tower some time and discover what real people are really like and learn to respect them. We are not cockroaches beneath your feet.

Sorry who have I offended? Are you telling me everyone is honest about their feelings and their comments? Aren't there a number of posts on this thread accusing M&H of just such dishonesty????
Are those posts wrong then?

Alegrias1 Wed 26-May-21 17:05:06

(Not directed at trisher, obviously)

Alegrias1 Wed 26-May-21 17:04:19

And I'm accused of being rude......

trisher Wed 26-May-21 17:03:36

Well done Annie I hate quite a few people mostly those who have damaged, or are damaging, others. But you have the moral high ground.

trisher I too am honest about my feelings and comments , I
do not hate anyone , even Corbyn !

tickingbird Wed 26-May-21 15:32:37

Well said Annie.

trisher Wed 26-May-21 15:20:16

trisher
If there is someone I really despise and who I would seldom post anything positive about (Margaret Thatcher for example) I don't mind being seen as "hating" them. If it bothers you to be called a "Harry Hater" then perhaps it is once again that little bit of niggly conscience getting to you.

No, trisher because you are capable of hatred doesn’t mean
all who criticise are capable of hatred , perhaps it helps you to
feel comfortable with being capable hatred

I'm just honest about my feelings and my comments Annie Many aren't.
