Can you give me an example of some of the "various ploys to silence others" you think you see? Actually scrub that, I really don't give two hoots for your opinion, and as for your views on the investigation they are entirely worthless IMO because you don't have the full facts at your disposal. As for me, I'm open minded, and content to wait and see what transpires without feeling the need to continually state as fact that the Germans have nothing and are barking up the wrong tree and that HCW is a liar or a fool as some on here have done. That's the clamour being referred to by Misty, I believe, and the fact that people like you and Faith would much rather pick at old scabs like what Kate wrote in her book and call her out on it for your own amusement, when that is sooooooo last decade. But no doubt you think you're fulfilling some vitally important function by constantly deflecting from and belittling the current investigation and continually returning to all your "doubts" about the McCanns for a long, long time to come. Far be it for me to silence you, but don't think you will silence me from having my views about your agenda either.
A lot of the problem on here imo is that some have CB as the abductor - without any evidence he is whatsoever.
Not even really any circumstantial apart from a mobile phone number IIRC was found in a book connecting it to CB.
Why should what Wolt keeps saying be took as gospel he has proved nothing to date.
The mccs on the other hand has not been totally cleared of any involvement.
Yet to believe they are involved in what happened to Maddie is classed as beating them with a stick.
If I thought for one moment IMM they were totally innocent I would not give this forum the time of day.
IMO the only people beaten with a stick are the ones who have done no harm to any other poster apart from having a different opinion to them by believing the mccs are involved in some way.
Nothing as yet is set in stone what happened to Maddie on the 3rd of May 2007 apart from she disappeared.
