Home Office pull the plug on Maddie funding.

[Venturi Swirl]

The only post the webmaster has posted in months and it’s a tawdry screenshot ! Where is the message of thanks for the latest injection of cash from the home office to OG ? They are either an outrageously ungrateful pair or.......
?

Still ploughing the same tedious furrow I see...

Isn’t that why you do it?  To elicit a response?

Of course it is. It wouldn’t be much of a discussion forum if I didn’t expect a response now would it ?

English police already know what happened to little Maddie and will reveal everything soon

Operation Grange agents investigating the Maddie case were in Portugal in secrecy in 2017 and are said to have discovered what happened to the girl.

That article was a surprise "Maddie's parents, Katie and Gerry McCann, have always argued that the daughter is alive. To be truthful, the English girl is now 15 years old."

So the fact that I responded is hardly noteworthy as it was to be expected.  I won’t “skip by” when you write imo spiteful dross, I will comment on it, that’s what you expect and no doubt look forward to, you clearly hope to provoke a response as you have in the past and have again succeeded.  Well done.

You desperately want me to put you front and centre of my forum life, don’t you VS. My comment wasn’t about you in particular but posting in general.

Indeed Angelo. It does much you wonder why some seem so hellbent on making it happen.

Why do you continually make posts designed to start an argument then?

“The only post the webmaster has posted in months and it’s a tawdry screenshot ! Where is the message of thanks for the latest injection of cash from the home office to OG ? They are either an outrageously ungrateful pair or.......
?”

being a case in point.  Angelo too, is guilty of making inflammatory posts of this nature using emotive cliches a plenty designed no doubt to elicit a robust response. 

Either “they” are outrageously ungrateful or what?  They are not, is that what your three little dots meant?

Yes I've stopped responding to posts that are simply immflamatory in order to start an argument... If Angelo wants to believe the McCann's are the most evil people on earth.... He's welcome but really it's of no importance

I think the essence of the forum really shows through when informed discussion is allowed to occur with many different points of view being put forward and real information being amicably exchanged.

A shining example of the art can be found where our good friend Pegasus V Misty.

Some of what has passed of late, if not actually designed to have that effect has resulted in a general 'dumbing down' of content and reflects badly on the reputation of the forum ... perhaps contributing to the retreat of serious members.

To that end the misuse of language to describe the HOPE and may I say joy expressed by a caring individual for Madeleine brought on by the Home Office continuation to fund the active police case in existence on her behalf misses the point and is inappropriate.

There is a reality of purpose and of political and police resolve confirmed by that decision; that some may be in denial might be worth discussion of their point of view should they ever wish to express one and I don't think there is a more appropriate forum anywhere on the internet where all reasonable opinion is allowed to be expressed.

I don't think that is a privilege that should be abused or its importance underrated.  It is very precious and should be valued as such and we should all consider it when posting.
