Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery after all!

// As a parent I would of taken my daughter out of the spotlight and media interest when a effigy of the kid was shown in the press of her hanging from a bridge in Italy.
That must be distressing and unsettling for any child. //

Suddenly we're all concerned about the poor child's welfare. Well I suppose it's progress from calling her a spoilt brat and an idiotic puppet.

this is all about her parents trying to increase book sales.

16 year olds should be seen and not heard. Actually, come to think of it, not seen either - their youth offends my eyes. They have absolutely nothing to add over the wisdom of the world's adults and anything they spout must really be their parents using them as puppets. I know all about all them, especially the autistic Swedish ones, so this must be true. Fact! End of ...

My post @1505 was the first. I have not suggested what you have quoted. My first post and this is my last on this matter.

Yes, I didn't mean to accuse you personally of that, so I apologise if that's how it came over.

Thanks Ludwig.

I don't have a lot of use for the kid, and even less for the non-parents; however, I think that this criticism of the phrase "against the wall' is unwarranted: https://canoe.com/news/world/put-them-against-the-wall-greta-thunberg-responds-after-controversial-comment

Given her explanation, that's fair enough.

But it does mean that Ms. Thunberg needs to understand that her chosen medium - mass communication, talks as well as listens, and what it says is not always going to be pleasant.

Of course, any sane parent of a teenager with Asperger's would be monitoring their child's internet interaction very carefully - not throwing her to the cyber-wolves to be eaten alive.

They are a disgrace, and should be ashamed of themselves.
