Has support for the McCanns and Goncalo Amaral reached cult status?

[Mr Gray]

The mccanns aren't oppressed.

FAR FROM IT.

i disagree

the mcanns have had more  worldwide  media then anybody in history

I have yet to see you once criticize the mccanns behaviour in Portugal, or criticize or admit the nature of some people supporting the mccanns , who abuse others.

You have started a thread ... using a post making assertions and allegations ... one can only assume your refusal to clarify and substantiate what you claim, is you quite simply cannot because what you claim has absolutely no substance.

You have made an accusation of cult like behaviour ... please be prepared to substantiate that claim ... or I suggest you consider withdrawing it.

No, I will not withdraw what people can plainly see in the behaviour exhibited by various parties.

I note for example, as per usual, your refusal to answer my questions to you.

Do not deny it happens.

Examples have been given on this forum on several occasions.

Any reason one can think of why the thread originator is unable to substantiate the claim he has made?

Also answer my question.

It would help.

there is no cult on this forum and the fact that you think there is shows how poor your understanding of the situation is

Substantiate your claim ... if you cannot please desist from making spurious, insulting acclamations directed at fellow members and have the decency to withdraw a clearly misguided belief.

Incorrect.

The behaviour of certain parties is very clear to see.

Again you refuse to answer my questions.

It is not a misguided belief. It is observation and shared by other people.

It has become very apparent, in my opinion that the support offered to the Mccanns by some people goes way above what I would call reasonable and logical behaviour.

No matter how many reverses the Mccanns have suffered through the court system, and it is their behaviour which triggered the case, the support still exists, but in a diminishing number of people.

Likewise, excuses are always offered for their behaviour, but it never stacks up in both logic and common sense terms.

So why does it continue ?

Support for the McCann family is no different from the support enjoyed by Goncalo Amaral but to infer that it is akin to a cult status is somewhat of an exaggeration.  That said however, there are fanatical individuals on both sides who pursue their individual allegiances with great fervour and passion to the exclusion of all else.

That surely cannot be healthy?

Absolutely no different to the support enjoyed by amaral...so we have cult amaral and cult mccannn...according to stephen...or no cult at all ..according to me

I have no association with a cult of any description and find it an offensive definition.

as I do too...and cannot understand why this thread has been allowed

[Admin]

I have altered the title of this thread to widen the question to Mr Amaral.  I believe members can debate this subject without the need for abusive comments.

Please prove me right!
