Guest, re: post #140; it was really, really sweet of you to say that I’m great, when we both know that I’m FAR from it!:lol: I’m probably the total opposite of great, as a matter of fact. But I do admire your plain-speaking and intuitive ideas. You and Hale and Rman often have the best ideas about things.

I’m just glad you and others understand why I said what I said to Deacon.

For those who don’t understand, I have read on yet another forum, about a deliberate….’plan’ to disrupt BRW. I used the word ‘plan’ because ‘plot’ just sounds melodramatic.

Anyway, I was told by someone who is in the know, that this plan was hatched on the RT forum. They don’t like Kate on that forum, and their plan is to come onto BRW using different Usernames, and say disruptive things about Wills and Kate’s relationship, and try to ’set the cat among the pigeons’ as my Nonna says.

Despite Deacon’s denial, I’m convinced that Deacon is one of those ‘planners’.

The fact that Deacon claims to know certain things about Wills and Kate, but never, ever has one single link or piece of evidence to back up his/her/their statements, is a huge red flag IMO.

Deacon doesn’t even attempt to explain how he/she/they come by this “knowledge” of Wills and Kate’s activities. Even that Sarah person who posted some comments last year regarding Kate’s presence at Charles’ Highgrove birthday celebrations was able to offer an explanation as to how she came by the knowledge she had.

Redlady explains how she comes by the information she has. Whether we believe these people or not, at least they’ve taken the time to give plausible explanations about where their information comes from. I am highly suspicious of people who say controversial things, but refuse to explain where their supposed ‘information’ comes from.

Deacon makes statements about knowing this or that about Wills’ military activities and Kate’s movements and activities, and offers us NOTHING that validates or proves that what they’re saying is correct. Deacon does not offer explanations as to how they came by this supposed ‘knowledge’ either.

I want everyone to know that I am not saying these things to be deliberately rude or nasty to anyone; I happen to think that being deliberately rude or nasty is just mean, unnecessary, and disrespectful.

I’m saying these things because I believe Deacon is attempting to be disruptive, and attempting to ’sucker’ unsuspecting people into believing his/her/their made-up stories, and I want anyone who might be susceptible to such a person to beware.

I myself do not make claims to have been given ‘reports’ about Wills and Kate’s activities. My info comes from the news, newspapers, magazine publications, and the internet. Very, very rarely, I will hear a tidbit of gossip from the friend of a friend, but so far that’s only happened one time in the last 3 years.

If I’ve heard a gossip tidbit that doesn’t come from a reputable source, I might repeat it, but I also make sure I explain to everyone that my ’source’ isn’t verifiable, so I’ll repeat it, but take it with a grain of salt, and suggest that others do the same.

I’m very straightforward, because I don’t see the point in attempting to mislead anyone. So when I see others being LESS than straightforward, I question their motives.

I realise that this forum is a fun place to discuss events and ideas and let off some steam, and I like BRW exactly the way it is right now. I’d hate to see this fun forum degenerate into one of those places where it’s an ‘Us against Them’ sort of situation, meaning those who don’t have a problem with William’s relationship with Kate having to continually face off against those who do. That isn’t fun at all, and I didn’t want to see that happen.

So Clover, I’m genuinely sorry if my speaking my mind came out as name-calling. Deacon, I’ve said all I’m going to say about this particular matter, I just wanted to let you know that I’m not falling for rubbish.

I hope I’m seen as a person who is attempting to be upfront, and not as a bad person who’s trying to be mean.
