These people want our attention - why give it to them? *shrug*

Oh, I thought it was just a warning to stay away from certain accounts?
Although, are they really haters?
But anyhow, they shouldn't be posting pap pix.

Some gifs of that "Obama Town Hall Event" last Saturday.

Sophie is really sweet The perfect match.

Yep, so happy for him that they got together.

Relationship goals!

They are a gorgeous couple.

By the way, she seems soothing to him. When you see pics of them, she seldom looks grumpy there's even often a little smile. Especially when you see pap pics.

**Posted by besleybean** May 13, 2016 7:30 pm

Indeed.
Though you kind of wish you hadn't seen pap pix!

**Posted by Ivy** May 13, 2016 7:36 pm

That's often inevitable. The ones with the "puffed dress" in the Cumberspotting thread were pap pics.

**Posted by besleybean** May 13, 2016 7:37 pm

Yep.

Sooo refreshing to see so much "Sophie love" here. I agree she is lovely and they look very happy together. I hope she is pregnant again. Ben has said he wants a brood so they need to "step on it". Tick tock, tick tock....

But those "Sophie haters" - my god! They make her out to be the devil incarnate and are certain that Ben is living in abject misery. They think it's only because he is honorable about the baby that he is sticking with her. He holds her hand only because he has to. They see her pretty smile as a self satisfied smirk because she is being photographed with him and gets lots of attention that way. They hate anything she wears. Wow...they certainly are looking through a different lens then I am.

I guess that's probably the same way for the Johnlockers and the non-Johnlockers *sigh*.

I'm glad you said that and not me.
But yes, I think it's possible to see correlations with John and Mary.

**Posted by Ivy** May 13, 2016 8:39 pm

They also say he's under her thumb. And that she just wants to get famous through him. The usual, you know. LOL

Very well said, KeepersPrice.

Could we please not mix up fiction and reality? IMHO that does not belong here and I think nobody around here wants to be mentioned in the same breath as the haters whilst discussing fictional characters.

**Posted by besleybean** May 14, 2016 7:33 am

Well I was being supportive to all concerned, except the haters and for that I stand by what I said.

**Posted by mrshouse** May 14, 2016 7:53 am

Okay, but I have to ask again: why mixing this up? Do the fans who don't like Mary have to feel bad because there are delusional Sophie haters? Different issue altogether.

**Posted by besleybean** May 14, 2016 7:57 am

Well I don't know if I'd even give the time of day to any Sophie haters.
But Mary haters are obviously free to hate away.
But in my mind, when I was reading an earlier post , if you'd removed the name, it could have been talking about either.
