I'm sure a lot of people are reading your reply, Cynthia. And I hope you don't mind if one of your readers (ie me) takes on just one part of what you addressed in your post. Other readers may take on more, but for now, the most striking part of what you posted was when you said this:"There's a huge difference between expressing anger and expressing hate".
Yes, in my opinion, you're right, Cynthia.
But don't you find it slightly odd that, when Rawat and EV express their anger against ex-premies, it's not called hate.
Yet when ex-premies express their anger against Rawat and EV, somehow that is hate.
Odd.
Perhaps this is where we need a premie to comment?
