Is there any possibility that we could all be a teensy bit nicer to each other?
In order for that to happen everyone would need to behave civilly, which includes not making snide comments about each other or any of the individuals under discussion (eg the McCanns or Amaral) and answering questions put to each other honestly and openly, with all views respected and not mocked or pooh-poohed, and moderation handled fairly without favour. There would need to be empathy and understanding of each others' points of view and an acceptance that we may have got things wrong in the past, that we don't know everything now, and that we still have stuff to learn about this case and others. Let's be honest, none of that is ever likely to happen on here but happy to give it a try (even though it would make this place a dull read). You would have to permanently ban the troll first though as he isn't ever likely to change.
