It's funny how there are those who are always telling others to "Be Kind" and yet they never practice what they preach. #Hypocrites #Hypocrisy They should try being kind, they may actually like it.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

Just finished metaphorically dusting down my Twitter account. It's surprising how much collects when you've not been active. LOL

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author Well done you. It been a hard slog, but you've done it. :)

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author I honestly thought I have seen every kind of atrocious behaviour by people, but nope. Recently I seen stuff that even tops that. SMH

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author Yes, they certainly do.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

Good grief! Aren't the victim cards getting a little worn, even the lamination is looking worse for wear. I also heard that the Hans Christian Andersenesque book of "truth" has a broken spine and well thumbed pages. If reaping what you sow doesn't bother, it should.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author That bs sure does stink worse than manure. Getting mad seems to a thing with some.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

I've seen some whoppers flying around the internet recently, that would put Pinocchio to shame. Even Everard was shocked (and he isn't shocked so easily).

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author LOL You had a Rip Van Winkle tooth. 🤣

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author Truth.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author That's sick and disgusting. I hope it backfires spectacularly. Karma is a boomerang. What you put out there comes back.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

I don't listen to hypocrites. If they want to do something for the good of the publishing industry, they should practice what they preach or stay quiet. Looking down from ivory towers reeks of condescension. 2/2

Why is it always different for those who don't practice what they preach? Simple, those who love to dish it out, can't take it themselves. Yes, they love to stand on their soap boxes and deliver their "pearls of wisdom and sage advice." 1/2

Freedom of speech, but only if you fit the criteria. Words used as weapons until they lose all of their original meaning. MSM or people telling "their truth" instead of reporting facts...2/2

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

We are regressing not progressing. "Saviours" telling marginalised people what they should be offended about and how much. Men telling women that they know more about their bodies than they do. 1/2 #progress

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author @feaker_s I remember that.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author Watch this space #NopeOpera returns.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author @pulte It was horrendous for you. All because of one person pretending to be a victim, their exceptionally vivid imagination and prolific lying.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

@MRR_author 🤣🤣🤣 Of course epic fakes.

[Betty Merkin @BettyMerkin]

We don't all live in the land of unicorns. You may try to convince yourself and others than you are squeaky clean, are an innocent victim and a selfless defender of justice. However, there are those that know that is just complete BS.
