And why you started off-topic discussion about monarchy here in the thread about respected queen Elisabeth II based on my short remark about monarchy itself when it is clearly visible what it was just part of construction like "I don't like monarchy, but Elisabeth II has been respected queen and people have reasons to love her"?
I thought I had answered this question - because I was and am genuinely interested in your views of this subject, given what you also wrote in your post, i.e., "any monarchy is anachronism and should have no place in modern world, because it is nonsense what person may has right to rule country and/or be head of state just because he/she has specific family name."

I did not consider the posting off-topic, given how postings on other issues also diverge from the main theme because board members read more into a posting than may have been intended. For example, YOU posted a reference to a Chinese-language Durex condom advertisement into the thread on the Russian "special military operation" in Ukraine under "The Brink of War?" that prompted christianpfc to respond to my translation of the Chinese characters used.

I acknowledge your gracious comments, however, on Queen Elizabeth II having been a respected queen and that people have reasons to love her.
