Until it's a documentary that doesn't conform to your narrative and becomes something else?

Ok.

I’m sure they’re as tired as we all are of these threads.

Carry on Jet...ignore the baiters and keep posting

Still waiting for rational reasons for the unnecessary mud slinging.

Nobody is telling him/her to stop posting, it’s not our fault if they don’t like their ‘sources’ and reasonings questioned and debated, it doesn’t make people ‘baiters’ to disagree with them ffs, this false narrative that you lot get picked on is foul

If certain people responded with reasoned arguments or articles of their own instead of attacking the way other people post or just coming in to sneer and cause discord it would be a different story.

If you’re gonna post tabloid stories then it’s on you to convince us that it’s true and not sensationalised rubbish which you haven’t done yet. Your reaction to Meghan is very telling because it’s exactly the same as all of the Daily Mail commenters. Full of assumptions with no real basis.

Liam...Jet gets baited all the time on this subject for only quoting the Dailymail. It’s a put down because he has followed the Royal family for years and has an avid interest in them. To be constantly ridiculed because of it...and to be called obsessive is not fair...

There is a difference with disagreeing with someone and then getting personal and intimidating for the sake of trying to win an argument. It’s not an argument to be won...it’s a debate.
Can’t we all just debate...show some respect and agree to disagree if necessary without provoking someone to the point that they want to leave...I call it bullying.
Every time a thread comes up on Meghan it gets shut down because of personal attacks by the same people...and it’s unacceptable.

No, he gets questioned on his sources, if he’s not able to back them up and gets in a huff whenever someone disagrees that gossip and opinion aren’t facts, then a debate section probably isn’t the best place for him, nobody is being bullied at all and as far as I’m concerned the personal jibes go both ways, he’s not innocent and neither are you and many other people, stop trying to push a narrative that you’re not being allowed an opinion, it’s completely disingenuous and does nothing but gets people backs up which is probably the aim, stop passing the buck for the arguments, you and your pals are just as much to blame as anyone else

At some point, Jet, you may have to accept that some (most, I would guess?) people simply don't put quite as much stock on "royal correspondents" as you do. They're press in a posh frock.

When certain people come on here the thread goes downhill fast....it happens every time....
Some of us handle it better than others...that’s all I’m saying

I don't care what you SAY you do, when every time a thread on the Royals appears you SHOW the opposite. I can only comment on what you bring into the thread, which is tabloid gossip.

The rest of your post I'm not addressing because it's utter tosh designed to make yourself a victim and accuse others of bullying. It's childish.



No, I use the word tabloid to label a tabloid when you bring one into the thread as "evidence" of facts, which are nothing but the opinions of a journalist trying to sell papers or "clicks".

If you don't get that then I can't help you.

Because you don’t like it when they come and disagree with you so kick up a fuss and make personal digs, that happens every time yeah.

[Glenn.]

Yeah the ones that bleat on about being bullied sure handle it better than others...

I don't need to post articles to prove that none of us know Harry and Meghan so therefore pretending we do because we read gossip is ridiculous.

It's kind of common sense.

How is commenting on his DM links getting personal? It's commenting on what he is posting in the thread.

The links get mocked because he rubbishes everyone else's input because apparently he has the "avid interest" and doesn't listen to gossip, he gets the facts. Yet when asked to provide them he responds with "do your own research" or posting DM links or quoting a channel 5 documentary.

These aren't "specialist" research materials, they're tabloid newspapers whose goal is to write/publish the most OTT story to get the sale/click. They quote unnamed sources. Waving them about as though they're the beacon of truth and HE knows who Meghan is (even better than Harry himself apparently) is a joke.

Whereas you haven't commented on the thread topic for about 3 pages, so watch your own posting styles before commenting on that of others.

Yeah look at yourself then Marsh, why did you have to call rusticgirl "sweetheart" if not to be condescending, rude and smug?
