Oh I remember being shot to pieces ( not on here though ) for saying I didn`t like the name Charlotte when Kate and William had their daughter. It`s a name I`ve never liked nor ever will like and funnily enough of all of the people who shot me down, I think only one had actually named their own child Charlotte so I guess they didn`t like it either !
Back on subject, I never liked Princess Di`s dress, loved Kate Middleton`s, absolutely hated Sarah Ferguson`s, liked the style of Ali K`s dress but I think it would have looked better in a different colour, not because I have objections to 2nd or 3rd time brides wearing white but because I genuinely thought a blush pink or apricot colour would have suited her better.
Weddings and wedding dresses are like Marmite, you love them or you don`t love them and women have been eyeballng and commenting on other womens wedding dresses for centuries and always will do. As long as the bride loves it then that`s all which matters, it is`t up to the rest of us to get upset on her behalf.
It reminds me of a friend of mine who married for the 2nd time in her 40`s and her parents hadn`t seen her dress before the day. She arrived wearing a white short length halter neck dress trimmed with white faux fur and white knee length boots. her Mother actually cried, not with joy but because she hated the dress so much. My friend laughed, she simply didn`t care, hugged her Mum better, she realised her 70 odd year old Mum`s taste would never match her own and just accepted that her alternative style of outfit plus her chest, arms, back completely covered in tattoos ( hence the halter neck to show off the artwork ) and her biker husband equally as tattooed and wearing an equally unusual outfit would probably be disliked by half the guests at least.

What makes the world go round is the fact we're all different and like different things (we all know that) you shouldn't be shot down for not liking the Royals (who I don't like either.........aw! off with her head!) baby's name, that's just ridiculous, you're entitled to freely express your opinion.
 
Giving a negative opinion about something always stirs the self-righteous (same ones every time) into action here. Would we all really be happier if nobody ever expressed a negative opinion? Would we all be happier if there were only positive comments?

Sorry, folks. It doesn't work like that on an open forum so live with it. Every presenter has chosen to be in the public eye for financial gain because they're paid for what they sell on air. Because they've chosen to make money by being in the public eye, they're open to public scrutiny and as such, are fair game for both positive and negative comments.


I've noticed, it's funny isn't it, they're trying to love all things and be self righteous when in fact, they come across as immature, disingenuous and patronising.
 
(pssssst, we appear to have lost the other one who would be quite vitriolic a few months ago. I really suspect she was a Q worker !)
 
Unpaid, too, on here! No commission from on-air sales - now that was dedication to the cause.
 
I know she has gone on a lot about her wedding but I don't mind. She's been through sooooooooooo much and frankly she deserves every second of her happiness. She said she was asked to design the jewellery - who wouldn't in her position?

She touched my heart when she said when she put her wedding dress on and looked in the mirror she felt "like me" again. It's giving me goosebumps just typing it.

Hubble and I just celebrated our silver wedding anniversary and had a huge party and second honeymoon - we're probably just as boring as we slowly come back to earth.

Yes she's been through a lot, and yes she deserves to be happy. I hope she is. But do we need her wittering on about her jewellery? I'm sick of her wedding! I remember THAT pic of her dressed as a virgin bride. She was wearing white winklepickers and seemingly clutching a cauliflower! Talk about mutton dressed as lamb, (or rather more like chicken with that tandoori tan) - she just needed a jar of mint sauce!
 
Of course we all have our own views and are entitled to express them. The trouble comes when posts are unnecessarily aggressive, rude or insulting of others' views.

I try to phrase my posts as I would if I were discussing the topic with friends in Starbucks. I don't think anyone would talk face to face with people the way some posts are worded. Just my opinion !
 
That's what most of us do, EM. We might or might not choose to have coffee together but online we communicate with people with differing views, from differing backgrounds so everyone has to learn to live with points of view and wording they may not approve of. Nobody is going to stop that.
