Good point Al-bina, I had forgotten about that! I hope they do the same this time as well.
The sad thing about this one though, since it was from Twitter this all started from, just how do you find the right person to go after? We all know anyone can cover their tracks online these days and also how completely innocent users of a website/service can be falsely accused of being the one responsible due to that other person covering their tracks. I think I hear of something like that happening at least once or twice a week now, where it used to be only every so often.
Whoever started this is lower than slime. To use the absence of the Crown Princess for more than legitimate reasons, not to mention for a surgery where the risk of rather serious nerve damage is a very real thing to have to consider *and* likely had her Family terrified the entire day of the Operation until the news than all gone exactly as planned, is actually worse than slime. They're a Slimy, Worm riddled Coward. Sadly, those are the type of critter creatures that seem to wield far too many ways to damage and hurt people in this new digital world of ours.
I really hope Haakon and/or Mette-Marit have managed to contact the Children's Teachers over the weekend to give them a head's up about this. I have no idea how Norway deals w/kids abusing kids (Never will I call it by all the safe names used to hide the actual reality of what is going on in the schools. What I survived was not "bullying". It was abuse, and I firmly believe once we call it what it actually is, that's when change will come. I truly do believe that.), but as night follows day, I'm sure some kid can't wait to get to school and in turn attempt to "but...I was only teasing..." Can't see it happening to Marius, but to Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, that I sadly can all too easily see happening.
The one thing that is fact and I give far more weight and credence to : the Crown Prince was due to give a very important speech to a Global Dignity event in the US, but cancelled it as soon as he knew Mette-Marit's Surgery date was going to close to/happening on the actual day in the event sked for the speech. I have a hard time believing Haakon would have done that if things are as truly on the rocks as one stupid Tweet would make you think.
And that's how I'm treating this, one stupid Tweet designed to do exactly what it's intent was, to stir up trouble and stress during the worse possible time to have it happen. If we ever hear anything official, then we'll talk. Until then...
I missed seeing HRH attending whatever Event in Norway was held to mark World AIDS Day today. Her role as the UN Special Ambassador for Youth & AIDS (I think I have that right) is one of the causes/roles I've noticed seems to be one very close to her heart and I'm sure Mette-Marit missed taking part in this year's event too.
Oh...One last thing, thank you everyone for once again reminding me just why I have certain Members around here on Ignore. Not that I really needed a reminder, but it isn't a bad thing to be reminded of from time to time either...
