Oh dear. I didn't intend to be personal or inappropriate. Please explain why you think that I was.
I can't tell you what the McCanns hoped to achieve because all I have to go on is what they said. I could, like some, believe eerything they say, but my scepticism makes that difficult for me. By definition sceptics don't believe, you see, they doubt.

Nothing wrong with 'doubting' that I can see.

That 'doubting' appears to become entrenched as part of 'Sceptics beliefs?' maintained over a twelve year period and is applicable to everything McCann and anyone associated with them however peripherally.

No doubts about Madeleine author Paulo Pereira Cristovao and no fora set up to excoriate him?  Nothing about another arguido the supreme court judges' ruling put in exactly the same basket as the McCanns?

What luxury it must be, being a selective 'doubter' and a selective 'sceptic'.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

Why would the McCanns not be suspects, while burglar bill & Bobby Murat were???

Evidence, I'd imagine. There must be some definite evidence which rules the McCanns out.

I wonder what it is.

You have to believe that the police know more than you do! They haven't suggested there's evidence which rules the McCanns out, they've said there's no evidence which suggests their involvement. Anyone who thinks there is is making things up because they're nasty trolls. Any sensible person knows that the police know the truth, tell the truth and don't make mistakes. Have faith!

Thank God I was born an optimist.  But just the luck of the draw.

I'm an optimist too.

I believe nothing and no-one. Some people and things I don't believe, which isn't the same at all.
There's nothing selective about my scepticism I can assure you. I apply A B C  to everyone and everything. A lack of comment shouldn't be interpreted as approval or belief; it's more likely to signify lack of interest.

I think that exactly sums up the sceptics belief ... not so much in the police whose final report laid it on the line ... but in Amaral's beliefs which he formulated in 2007 and which remain the cornerstone for sceptics.

So you keep insisting ... while missing that what is posted is in danger of leading the reader to a different conclusion.

But only for your own sake.  My optimism applies to everything I do and think.

That is just your opinion - I think more common sense for obvious reasons.

When starting a sentence with "I think" it means it is my opinion.

Perhaps you would care to elucidate yours as it is likely to throw a great deal more light on sceptics beliefs than mine ever could.

Only in your opinion.  If outraged, why not take it up with the Sun ?

I believe that Amaral saw a way to exonerate himself in The Cipriano Case.  Mothers kill their children.

How on God's earth he was allowed to run the investigation on Missing Madeleine McCann will always be a disgrace to Portugal.

I thought that The Sun article was only a question.  Just to sell newspapers.  There are no accusations within the article.

In which case there is no need for anyone to get worked up about it - IMO

Yes, I know what it means - that why I put it.

As for elucidating - I speak for myself - I don't believe the mcs version of events.

As to list why - I haven't time to sit here all day.

One main belief as the title of the thread - I don't believe a word they say.

I amn't worked up about it.   But I suppose that we have to talk about something.

Like Brietta, I believe totally in the Presumption of Innocence.  There would be No Law without that.
