It was Meghan herself who kept pointing out that she was 'the most trolled person of 2019'.
She wasn't. Adele was 1st, Gemma Collins was 2nd, Meghan was third.

Why is there more obsession with Meghan, and why does it concern people if she wants to quit social media? , Loads of people in the public eye stop using social media .

I don't think people will be satisfied unless both her and Harry hit rock bottom ,and even then they'd still get grief as the couple wanting a 'pity party' or something. But anyway hashtag ' bekind ' :whistle:

...(...I believe that it was pointed out to her that she was but I won’t say that for sure...)...I do though, recall seeing her in an interview saying ‘apparently I was....etc, etc...’...so she did use the word apparently and didn’t declare it as a statement, as it were...I did say ‘one’ of the trolled people...3rd place would fit that, I would say...

If he is obsessed than you must be obsessed too because every time there is a Meghan thread and jet posts there you are!!

You don’t actually care about Meghan only what people are saying about her, I’m afraid you are going to have to accept that some people don’t like her and it has nothing to do with her skin colour.

Every time these two are in the news it’s because they are playing the victim card or claiming to be the world’s answer to ending racism or setting up a charity that will end poverty

Life is hard enough without arguing over strangers about things we have no control over.

Offering my opinion is not shutting someone down, by making out that my views are nothing more than an attempt to shut someone down, you're pretty much trying to shut ME down by saying my opinion isn't an opinion.

Obsessive hatred bothers me, it destroys people, we've seen it time and time again. Also to make out that none of the hatred has to do with her skin colour is just naive and factually wrong. There are people who will hate her for her race, you cannot deny that.

As for them 'playing the victim', if you cannot see the noticeable difference between how the media treats Meghan and Kate, for example, then you are being wilfully ignorant on the issue. You only have to google it to see a vast history of comparisons on the issue.

As for the your last line, this is a discussion, if you don't like it, don't take part and leave everyone else to it.

It's quite simple really, most of us don't care about royals either way, but most of us are decent people that find the treatment of these two celebrities quite disgusting and we're entitled to say so, just like you're entitled to engage in the hatred.

It's a simple concept, a child could grasp it.

Just before she met Harry, she told People magazine that she wanted to ‘break the internet’. It’s biting her in the ass now.

So you're considering gossip to be factual just based on your own personal bias, k.

Jet - just out of interest, which of the royals is your fave or do you respect the most?

Respected people like Ingrid Seward, author of the prestigious Majesty magazine and Royal historian Hugo Vickers are gossips because you don't like what they know about Meghan and which they have tried to put across as kindly as they could manage? Okay.

So when you say things are baseless which I may think, I'm pointing out they may not be, because Meghan has form.

Are those.people you have quoted Royalists Jet? I have not heard of either so its a genuine question. A lot of people may be biased due to the fact that they love the Monarchy and believe Meghan has caused a split.

I don't know about 'love' - its their jobs. They are long time Royal commentators and authors who have praised when praise is due and criticized when it is not. They are never sycophantic nor deliberately unkind. Other good commentators are Penny Junor and Jenny Bond.
No point in listening to non - credible sources.

Thanks for responding. I've only really heard of Jenny Bond.

Were they around when Diana died? Just wondering if they criticised the Queen for her reaction then? I think the way she handled that has a lot to do with people moving away their support of the monarchy and the Queen as a whole.

all the media was very critical of the queen when diana died. It's certainly what made me look at her in a new light

They certainly did - as did I! Went right off the Queen for a while.
I think the Royals learned a lot from that episode though and the Queen became 'softer' afterwards. Polls these days have either her or William at the top or 2nd every time in popularity.

So she was told it initially, that's fine, but in the interview I seen she just said that 'she was the most trolled'.
Does it matter :shrug:

Gossip is gossip, continuing to project things onto me and make me out to be a mirror image of you is not an argument, it is desperation.

The truth is, if these people made out that Meghan was lovely, you would discount them immediately because you are looking to have your hatred validated by any source that appeals to the narrative you want to present. I wouldn't care either way, since my problem with the Meghan coverage has less to do with her and more to do with the fact that it's motivated by bigotry.

This is what I'm talking about.

Meghan was told she was one of of the most trolled people on the internet and you make out that she's angry she wasn't first based on nothing but your own hatred and bias. You're making **** up and presenting it as a valid reason to hate her and you can't see what's wrong with that, why you are part of the problem.

Its not my problem if you have no sense of humour.

I have an excellent sense of humour, which is why I don't laugh at **** jokes which aren't even jokes but you're retroactively trying to make out that they are to save face.
