R M.

Some time ago an article was written by Mary as a recap for RHOA. Mary is a very white woman from West Virginia, who seems to casually appropriate the tone of her snark at the best of times used slave imagery and black history to mock Kenya Moore (see: underground railroad etc...). I VERY politely commented on this, saying that I wasn't sure that was Mary's intention but that it was unacceptable and offensive. Quite literally hoards of crazed bullies started attacking me, some being bigoted and others rabidly defending Mary against polite criticism saying that I was too stupid to understand snark. I was banned and they remained. I rarely agreed with the "company line" and often pointed out false information, glaring errors etc...

They (meaning Mary) also allowed a barrage of transphobic comments to exist on specific posts, encouraging them by toeing the line herself. She clearly uses the site to attack people she doesn't like on shows (esp Bethenny), feed her ego and pimp her ghost writing/consultancy business - which is rich considering the very dire standard of writing on that site. They desperately need a copywriter or just some proof reading.

It's not snark. It's vitriol and sometimes bigotry. Bullying is encouraged as long as it's on her behalf or against the same people Mary has a problem with.

TrashTalkTV is far better for recaps, anyway.
