Title: Why does the Maddie case continue to attract so much passion?
Post by: slartibartfast on August 22, 2018, 12:00:16 PM
We have seen from the Brenda Leyland case that many supporters and sceptics spend a lot of their time having a go at each rather than discussing the case. This even seems to happen on supporter or sceptic forums. Do we think that if one side stopped the other would fade away?

For clarity.

Which case do you intend to discuss.

Brenda Leyland's or Madeleine McCann's?

If one side stopped then the bickering would subside until members from the same side started bickering with each other.  That's what usually happens isn't it?

Most sites I have come across seem to be very one-sided, the opposition being pretty much excluded and yet they continue to function despite this imbalance, so probably only death and dementia will bring an end to all the bickering and attempted point-scoring.

Its all very subjective. What might give someone  a case of the vapours might go almost unnoticed by others.

Either it is acceptable to abuse other members, or it is not.  Personally I would be delighted to be allowed to speak my mind freely and in the strongest possible terms (including vulgar and obscene epithets where appropriate), but either it should be allowed or it shouldn't and ALL mods, not just the ones on the other side to the abuser should deal with it.

Again, it depends on how you define abuse. What one person might consider abuse may not be shared by others.

Whatever floats your boat VS call me what you like - no prob at all after all your only talking to the hand.

I'm never offended what anyone posts to me - just class it as their best form of defence is to attack.
Well you are lucky then for when I first experienced internet abuse 10 years ago I found it was just like being punched in the stomach.  It was very hurtful and physical without there being physical contact. 

I'm much different now.

IMO discussion is regularly closed down on this forum by sceptics - those who refuse to answer questions or to be drawn into discussing their opinions, their theories or to say what they really think, who deflect with ad homs, strawmen and other tactics.  I'm all for completely open and honest exchange of views, but that doesn't seem popular with some sceptics.

I don't see much open discussion on the supporters forum's I have seen either Vertigo Swirl so I guess it works both ways. Perhaps supporters and sceptics are like oil and water - don't mix well.

The McCanns created the monster by their own actions so cannot now complain that it has gotten out of control. What started out as shock and compassion for most people has been tainted by the post disappearance goings on, the savage litigation aimed at destroying Amaral, the disgusting comments made against several other Portuguese police officers who were merely doing their job and the secrecy over the fund accounts.

It is frustrating on a discussion forum when people aren’t open about their views, or prefer to be sly and secretive, or not respond at all, yes, though I fully understand the reasons why.  I on the other hand pride myself in answering questions regarding my opinions on the case when asked, and always giving honest answers.  I don’t believe there is any value whatsoever in any of us doing research or trying trying to crack the case, that really only leaves chat, opinions, theories, etc.  I realise your view is the complete opposite, or at least I assume it us from what you’ve said.

If that is all you have then you may as well be a sceptic.

So you are not prepared to elaborate on what your theory is?  Of course you aren't as you dont have a theory.

Abduction is not a theory without having an idea of when, how and possibly who.

Theory

A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

and to crown that Kate is an Ambassador for 'missing 'people. how many has her 'high proflile' and expertese on missing people has she found?    It should be a nod to the left  hand side of the bars on the window,  that she hasn't found her own missing child!

A discussion based purely on opinion might be;

I think the SC judges were wrong.
I think they were right.


Unless the facts on which those opinions are based are discussed there's no more to be said.

If you have got it all figured out why bother asking? what makes you think  some members want to discuss anything with supporters- or offer opinions to them. The supporters do not have closure ,they don't like people talking about things which are on file, in a book by the mother, and in interviews.... it hurts them. oh dear.

Before you can discuss your opinions and interpretations of a fact you need to agree that a) it is indeed a fact b) it;s being interpreted correctly and c) there are no facts which contradict it. Otherwise your opinion is based on false premises.

What Mr Grime said is recorded in the files.
The kosher files that is. The reference is: 201/07.0GALGS, p. 2477.

We are oft reminded how time marches on. Indeed it does and researchers read the court files and publish papers, outside the McCann prism, which blow holes in many of the myths promulgated by some supporters leaving them stripped bare but still insistent they are wearing a magic suit of clothes.

Anyone want a bridge or some magic beans?

I think we've discussed that post before.   Grime says what he did (its in the file).  We read that and each of us can get different meanings from that.  Who's right, who's wrong?  Interpretation of what Grime says must be opinion, and criticism of that opinion is more opinion.
Can't solve it unless Grime himself explains it further.

So G-Unit in March this year said Martin Grime used the word "suggestive" and Martin Grime DID use the word "suggestive" so what is Davel's point.


My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is
suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant. This does not however
suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a
number of given scenarios and in any event no evidential or intelligence
reliability can be made from these alerts unless they can be confirmed with
corroborating evidence.

http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES.htm

G-Unit's post
Quote from: Davel on March 10, 2018, 10:12:30 AM
What we are discussing is the false claims, Re grimes opinion... In his, statement grime says it's possible the dog alerted to cadaver... Just possible... Yet G wants to claim his opinion is that they did

He used the word suggestive, not possible. In my opinion changing a witness's words demonstrates that the poster isn't too concerned with accuracy.

A certain supporter website, when criticising the MMRG's leaflet made the same point about the word 'notoriously' was used instead of 'incredibly'.

I have quoted Grime's actual words, not my interpretation of them.

My vote goes to G-Unit.

Given that Grime's opinion was that these alerts were triggered by cadaver scent, and that the alerts seemed to be suggesting a connection between the site of the missing child's disappearance, her toy, her clothes and her mother's clothes, there had to be an attempt to find corroborating evidence in my opinion.

Have you considered Grime used both words?

"It is my view that it is possible that the EVRD is alerting to cadaver scent
contamination. No evidential or intelligence reliability can be made from this
alert unless it can be confirmed with corroborating evidence. "

"My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is
suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant. This does not however
suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a
number of given scenarios and in any event no evidential or intelligence

Both quotes are from http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES.htm.

So it is possible and suggestive.

The sentence was her opinion  and if her opinion is wrong tell her and move on.  "Given that Grime's opinion was that these alerts were triggered by cadaver scent, and that the alerts seemed to be suggesting a connection between the site of the missing child's disappearance, her toy, her clothes and her mother's clothes, there had to be an attempt to find corroborating evidence in my opinion. "

I suppose it could be argued the "in my opinion" doesn't cover the whole post.   Look it is opinion in my opinion.

Had she said "Given that Grime's opinion was that these alerts were possibly triggered by cadaver scent," that would have been more correct.

Quote
lol...IMO you are the one who posted that grime stated that the the alert by eddie was suggestive of cadaver...which was untrue...and imo....on making that post...which was false...you lost all credibility

IMO, Davel realised his mistake, especially when he couldn’t find a post supporting his statement, and altered his attack.

Quote
yes you did....and if its still there i will find it... you posted grime said the alerts were suggestive to cadaver odour... I corrected you and said it was his opinion...you lost all credibility with that statement...imo...lets see if i can find it

Quote
My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is
suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant.

Points to it being his opinion that it is Cadaver Scent.

This appears to be an unfounded attack on another poster which will cease now.

...and G-unit’s original post which actually states Grimes opinion in full...

Quote
According to the opening post, the purpose of this thread was to discuss what Martin Grime's evidence meant and if it had been misunderstood.

A lot of opinions were posted, mostly by posters who support the parents. They seem to have misunderstood the aim of the thread and haven't really addressed the question posed in the first post.

A good post in my opinion;

"To claim the alerts were to cadaver odour is factually incorrect...it has not been possible  and is impossible to determine what the alerts were to...poeple have opinions...and that is all they are... To claim the alerts may have been to cadaver odour of course is correct" post #52

The above post is good because the expert who trained and used the dogs shared his opinion which has more credibility than others' because of his experience and knowledge. He said;

My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES.htm

So we have an expert opinion. Grime goes on to say;

This does not however suggest a motive or suspect as cross contamination could be as a result of a
number of given scenarios and in any event no evidential or intelligence reliability can be made from these alerts unless they can be confirmed with corroborating evidence.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MARTIN_GRIMES.htm

Some people seem to think that he's referring to forensic confirmation, but that's clearly wrong, because cadaver scent can't be confirmed by forensic tests.

So 'corroborating evidence' means something else.

Corroborating evidence (or corroboration) is evidence that supports a proposition already supported by initial evidence, therefore confirming the original proposition.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corroborating_evidence

So Eddie's unconfirmed alerts were;

G5A
Rear bedroom of the apartment in the immediate right hand corner by the door. 
Veranda outside parent's bedroom.
Garden area directly under veranda.

McCann villa
a pink cuddly toy in the villas lounge
Mother and child clothing (after removal)

Given that Grime's opinion was that these alerts were triggered by cadaver scent, and that the alerts seemed to be suggesting a connection between the site of the missing child's disappearance, her toy, her clothes and her mother's clothes, there had to be an attempt to find corroborating evidence in my opinion.

The PJ tried but failed.

So for some unknown reason Davel is trying to make mountains out of molehills. IMO.

Quote
'False' positives are always a possibility; to date Eddie has not so indicated
operationally or in training. In six years of operational deployment in over 200
criminal case searches the dog has never alerted to meat based and
specifically pork foodstuffs designed for human consumption. Similarly the
dog has never alerted to 'road kill', that is any other dead animal.
My experience as a trainer is that false alerts are normally caused by handler
cueing. All indications by the dog are preceded by a change in bahaviour.
This increased handler confidence in the response. This procedure also stops
handlers 'cueing' and indication. The dogs are allowed to 'free search' and
investigate areas of interest. The handler does not influence their behaviour
other than to direct the search.

I don’t believe Grime thought the dogs alerted to anything else.

"In my opinion Grime's opinion was that these alerts were triggered by cadaver scent"

You stated it as fact... When it wasn't... As you now seem to realise

you neee to read your own post again....

Theory

A supposition or...thats or...not and.....

aduction is a theory...theres plenty to support it if you have an open mind and understand teh evidence...the first part being there is no evidenvce of death in 5a

What evidence would you expect if a death in 5a had occurred.?

Interesting question, for if a body lies in a room for some time and is then removed there may be no physical traces left behind.
If someone was stabbed or beaten to death you would expect blood, maybe lots of it. If someone was strangled or suffocated , there would be no such evidence. merely the scent of cadaver.

Can't you accept the reality that some if us, who have followed the case  for sone years... Know a lot about it... And believe... Based on the evidence that Maddie was almost certainly abducted...

Therein imo lies the problem with OG,they cannot close and say the McCann's weren't involved to do that they must have evidence to the contrary in which case it won't close, they can (and I believe its how it will end)  say they can find no evidence against anyone.

Or they could say they have insufficient evidence to bring anyone to court.
Dependent upon what crime has been committed OG may have no say in the matter.
