The idea that supporters should have to individually fund- raise to justify their objections to kangaroo courts, lynch mob mentality and to the venom they see being daily inflicted on innocent people is truly risible. Are you expecting the same from 'sceptics'?
Apols if I am wrong Faith - but it seems to me that all your comments re the McCanns are based on your own very obvious personal feelings of deep animosity towards them above all else. That doesn't apply to me - it was not because I 'like' the McCanns that I joined in the 'fray' - I don't have any fixed opinions on them - because I don't know them. It was because I hate injustice and cruelty - no matter who the victims are. In this case it happens to be the McCanns
If I contribute to their fund in the future it will not be because they are the McCanns - it will be because I see them as people who have been - and still are - the victims of gross injustice and cruelty - and who deserve to be supported.

In reply to your opening salvo I think the sceptics have very adequately proved they will actually put their money where their mouths are when they see injustice being perpetrated. And no I don't think supporters should individually fundraise but if they feel so strongly that Madeleine deserves a proper search why not if it will take the financial pressure off of the official fund ?
As you know nothing about me or my motivations your second paragraph actually doesn't deserve a reply.
Your third paragraph is actually the most interesting as you don't even pretend that your contribution to the fund would be to further the search but rather to 'support' the parents in their various litigations. How very revealing.
