Nowhere did I say that Andrew was a victim. And by “sadly” I was referring to the whole culture about trying to find digs on the royals, not just Andrew. I’m certainly not an apologist for someone involved in such a scandal! I’m quite saddened at this reaction from what I thought was an easy enough to understand post, but it seems that whenever I post someone will twist my words or read too much into what I say. All I was doing was referring to the media culture of scandals after another poster mentioned about the sullying of Andrew. It wasn’t meant as a sympathy post. Yes, he got himself into the scandal, that’s clear - but the media is now looking for every tiny detail that may be slightly negative and it’s that aspect that annoys me, not the fact that Andrew is being mentioned (as I said, the culture in general).
I apologise if I sounded rude in some places, or if this wasn’t your intention, but I’m just a bit fed up of having to explain myself every time I join in an animated discussion. It’s put me off joining the big debates here and I was a bit sceptical about whether I should post in this one or not. TRF should be fun!
