And which bit of his post did I directly respond to and reference do you think?
Take your time but you are nearly there.
In fact, I’ve noticed precisely the opposite. You appear to struggle massively with stating what you think, given how often threads you participate turn into you insisting, over and over, that the plain meaning of what you wrote it not what you actually intended to say.
That’s not how “connected” works, idiot. The bashing they referenced was about something in particular. In responding to that, you responded to its referent as well. Reinforced by you quoting the whole damn post.
But at least you admit you tried to strawman the whole thing, like I said.
There is that confirmation bias and motivated reasoning that makes your posts so tedious.
You’ve pullled that estimate out of your arse. The vast majority of the threads I participate in present no barrier to understanding. Look them up if you like, they are all there.
What you don’t like is some of the slightly contrary opinions that I hold, or perhaps you don’t like how I state them. You simply have a knee-jerk dislike to me and when you come across posts on some “touchy” subjects you take great delight in misrepresenting what I’ve said or outright lying. There is a small group of people who always join in together, it is like clockwork. I can tick them off on a bingo card and you all use exactly the same tactics. It is both tedious and amusing at the same time and I smirk as the predicted people chime in.
I start to worry that something terrible has happened when they are late to the party.
Don’t forget, she also wasn’t white enough for them.
Man, that’s some combo of paranoia and martyrdom complex you have going there. You might want to get that checked out.
I think you are losing the plot and would benefit from calming down.
Ha ha.
It’s worth considering that Harry, at least, knows no other world than the one in which he is a celebrity. He seems to simultaneously hate it but also to want to fight fire with fire, thus the book etc.
From outside, I can see that his strategy is unsuccessful. We don’t get photos of his aunt Anne every time she cuts a ribbon: there’s clearly a way no manage the circus. But Harry is pretty clearly damaged by this from childhood and isn’t managing well. Meagan strikes me as a typical overconfident American who just didn’t understand how deeply entrenched the culture was that she married into.
As long as Harry cares what we think, he’s going to fight the paps. As long as we care about him, the paps will pander to us.
@Novelty_Bobble It’s almost like he/ they have to tie themselves up in knots by over analyzing the white spaces between words looking for reasons to feel aggrieved.
I wasn’t complaining, just observing. I know exactly what will happen when posting on certain subjects and the reaction it gets from certain posters. It isn’t a problem, like I say, the predictability of response is amusing for a while.
Sure, buddy, you’re soooo above it all, we can tell.
Well, at least you have chela stanning for you, that’s something.
Hmm, I doubt I’m on your bingo card as I haven’t been participating in this board for all that long. Yet I find what you’ve been saying here sort of shocking. I do not think celebrities of any stripe “deserve” the constant stalking of the press. I guess the courts and I disagree on that.
However, your reply to gyrate very much implies that they “deserve” whatever comes their way because they have chosen to live quasi public lives. (I also think if implies "those seIf important prigs piss me off so go pap go) If that is really not what you meant, you may add me as another person who thinks it’s clearly what you said. And, yes it is victim blaming. Perhaps you need a new bingo card.
This is a good response. I’m glad you are here.
Aww, thanks. 
It must get boring in the pit you should really get out more. Loosen up enjoy the sunshine brighten your mood.
Man, lots of useless motherfuckers seem real concerned about my mood, all of a sudden. Must have struck quite the nerve.
Also, it’s both winter and nighttime here. Sunshine, my ass.
9:54 AM PT – A source tells TMZ the chase started around 10 PM, after the award ceremony, and the pursuit was at its most intense on the FDR Drive … a highway on the east side of Manhattan. We’re told Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s SUV got up to about 80 mph as they tried to shake the paparazzi.
We’re also told it ended around midnight … so, that 2-hour time span Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson mentioned is accurate.
FDR Drive has a maximum speed limit of 40 mph:
So it sounds like it’s mostly Prince Harry’s fault for any danger he was in.
Well, we’ll await the speeding fine from the NYPD, shall we?
No, of course you aren’t, But if you find what I’m saying “shocking” it may simply be because what I originally said has been somewhat lost and any clarification dismissed. You are straight up inviting me to clarify and I fully expect that it’ll be honestly assessed (as most people do, You’ll note the very first thing I did in response to Gyrate was to ask for clarification but nothing was forthcoming other than a comparison to rape).
Now we may still continue to disagree and that’s fine, just as long as we both are disagreeing on what has actually been said and what the other actually means.
Harry and Meghan court publicity through the press and media. That’s what they do. They use it to get their message out and to sell their products. They use the media for negative purposes and for spreading lies and criticism against others (as others do about them). My point is that they complain about attention and criticism when it comes back their way in a form they don’t like but that is, in most part, a problem of their own making.
I’ve clarified that no, they don’t ask for direct personal harrassment by the press or to be put in danger but yes, they are asking for the media to pay very close attention to them and they know full well what the media is like and what they are capable of.
“deserve” is a value judgement and has nothing to do with my point. People who smoke don’t deserve lung cancer but is it “victim blaming” to say precisely the following?..
“it is possible to vastly reduce your risk of lung cancer by not smoking and people are fully informed that disease of that kind is a real risk that you run when you smoke”
Because if it is that is a great example of why the term is useless and I avoid it in the first place and if it isn’t then you can apply that reasoning to what I’m saying about Harry and Meghan.
(As you seem to despise the press as much as I do I hope you enjoy their cameo appearance as a horrible, pernicious disease)
So, I very much do not think that they “deserve whatever comes their way”. In the words of a great, if somewhat taciturn philosopher “deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it”. But I’d take what he says with a pinch of salt.
