Should the Germans Have Dropped Their Investigation By Now?

[Brietta]

According to Kate McCann non-functioning seemed to mean a lack of strength of some kind;

Mrs McCann said: "The first 48 hours were incredibly difficult and we were almost non-functioning I'd say, but after that we got strength from somewhere."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6692161.stm

For her husband it was;

 the "information void" in the first 48 hours of the investigation was the "hardest thing for Kate and I to deal with".
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6692161.stm

By 10pm on Saturday 5th then, they were recovering whatever 'strength' they had lacked earlier because;

The McCanns said "communication channels" had opened since then: "Certainly at the minute we are happy about how information is conveyed to us."

And they said it had helped "tremendously" when they began to take some control of publicity around the case.

So lack of control and information seems to have been what drained their strength in the first 48 hours.

Can you think of any good reason for members to indulge in a hate fest which is tolerated and abetted by those who have been appointed to keep order ~ for example ~ the discussion topic should be, Re: Should the Germans Have Dropped Their Investigation By Now?

So like I said then, “non-functioning” did not mean their ability to perform simple tasks was completely compromised, so no mystery there, just using Kate’s words as a stick with which to beat her.  Thanks for clarifying.

No good reason...but still you tolerate it.

Some posters do appear to take other member’s comments rather too personally. It almost as if they’re frien.....nah, that can’t be true.

And would that be a problem if it was true?  Actually it might be - for you.

I’m not sure why anyone would think that the revealing of someone’s true identity would be a problem...everyone does have a right to disbelieve the parents. The only problem would be if it triggered the behaviour of zealots, on both sides, who use that information to make mischief.

Of course what would be unconscionable is the moderator of a well known Facebook page revealing the personal details of a contact, against all data protection laws, knowing that that information may be used to cause harm. Now that would be a problem.

Is revealing my email address a breach of GDPR?

A hate fest? What on earth makes you think such a thing is going on, rather than a discussion about available evidence? In my opinion some people are too sensitive and see hate where none exists.

The German police haven't released details of all the evidence they have against CB. Why, therefore, are some posters clamouring for the Germans to drop their investigation so those same posters can justify continuation of meaningless discussions about unproven evidence against the parents?

You'd need to take that up with ADMIN.

What's with this clamoring ? Do you really think that anyone is paying attention to anything said on this forum ?

A very good question.

People do pay attention to internet fora about Madeleine McCann. How do you think Fulsher found his way to CMoMM?

The German police have released details of no evidence against CB, except a phone call to a phone which may have been his and which was in PdL or nearby at 7.30pm on 3rd May. The prosecutor has admitted there isn't enough evidence to arrest or charge their suspect.

The only clamour I can see is by those who have spent 13 years trying to convince others that the first investigation was wrong/incompetent/stupid/corrupt/backward, and that the McCanns were and are pure as the driven snow.
