Title: why are people who suspect the mccanns attacked?
Post by: mercury on June 14, 2015, 01:28:19 AM
Simple question, its an affront to do so, its an attack, its bullying, its emotional blackmail, its a threat to sue, how worse can it get? Well I shant include accusations of being a paedophile for just not believing the mccanns story as they come from some fanatical mccann supporters, one or two are on here but thankfully most arent, discuss

I think you will find that everyone has their own agenda, some call it playing games while others are considered fanatical in the extreme.

We here have attempted to provide an environment where almost everyone can have their say, be frank and take part in constructive discussion and debate.  With the best will in the world, there will always be moments when this falls apart but then, that is why we have moderators and editors who espouse different viewpoints.

A forum is only as good as its members, all its members.  Every single poster brings something to the table at some time or other and for that we can all be thankful.  Argue certainly and promote your own views but do it gracefully, that is all anyone can ask!

Thanks again to all members and of course the mods/editors for making this forum one to be proud of!

I think the absence of any logical argument from some who profess to doubt the McCanns is attacked.

But that is quite different from attacking the poster.

All posts which breach the forum rules are removed on sight regardless of who makes them.  The best advice for anyone who feels under threat of attack is to report the offending comment immediately and let the staff deal with it.   Under no circumstances should a member respond to an attack as this extends the issue.

There is a buddy and an ignore function within the forum for members to use. 

Go to Profile then Buddies/Ignore list.

True.  However your opinion is supposed to be about the case - and not confined to slagging off, abusing and goading other posters.

Depends!

I should emphasise, underline and stress that I am not!

But suppose I were of the opinion that anyone black should be burnt at the stake.

Would I be entitled to express it?

I (sincerely!) hope I wouldn't.

I have been called a paedophile and paedophile supporter more times than I care to remember.  I have also been called a troll, a child neglect supporter and other names besides, a sheep, a member of The Faithful (Faithlilly's fave!)   What is your point again...?

It's kind of ironic that an OP bemoaning the attacking behaviour of McCann supporters also includes a direct insult to us supporters, that some of us here are both imbecilic and insane.  The thing is - this OP had to be approved by the Admin of this forum, a decision that I find hard to fathom.

the  way  i  see things stephen is the mcanns started this whole thing by their sheer neglect of thei children parents have had their children taken into care for way  less  the mcanns  lost any  credibility or sympathy  they think they deserve by leaving 3   precious  little children alone      and leaving maddie to her  fate

If and when you debate a point concerning the case, I'll be happy to respond. I may even agree with a point or two, or disagree, depending on what it is and provided that the point in question isn't the same one raised day after day.

This is another poster I most often choose to ignore, mainly because her posts as well as being ill informed are just too silly for words. 
On this occasion it would be worth while pondering why I am being attacked because I refer to Dr Kate and Dr Gerry McCann by their title on most occasions.

Well kate is no longer operating, and if I remember correctly, consultants are called Mr., not doctor.

and of course kate is not on the specialist register either.

Would a separate thread "Why is anyone who isn't convinced of the mccannswhatdunnit theory attacked" be a worthwhile exercise? I doubt it - just more work for the mods. I'd have thought it simpler to modify the title.

Physician consultants are called Dr. 

Gerry is a physician Consultant, so is called Dr.



Surgeons, on the other hand, are called Mr.

The supporter's of the McCanns have very few facts to work with.

Those who doubt the McCanns have a lot of material to support their case. Their posts are based on many facts.

That's why those who suspect or disbelieve the McCanns are attacked. They post facts which are in the files or taken from videos of interviews. The only way to answer them is either by using opinion, (which is no use as it's subjective) or to attack the credibility of the poster.

So basically you're saying that the McCann doubters have won the argument. @)(++(*

Here's a fact for you - the Met are treating Madeleine's disappearance as a stranger abduction.  I can provide a cite to confirm my statement.   Now provide a fact which proves that they are not.  Off you go.

Dismissing conspiracy theories about Madeleine's parents' involvement, Redwood said he believed the girl's disappearance was the result of "a criminal act by a stranger". http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/apr/25/madeleine-mccann-case-reopen-call

Your game not mine. That's one fact, well done! I believe Redwood said he 'believed'. That doesn't mean he was right, of course, he was just giving his opinion with nothing to support it ever having been released in the following three years.

Here's another fact.  A number of people were made arguidos in this case last year.  Not one of them was a McCann or anyone who was on holiday with them in May 2007.  This is strong supporting evidence to back up the Met's statement that Madeleine's disappearance was due to a criminal act by a stranger, and also to their statement that neither the McCanns nor any of their friends is suspected of involvement.

The problem is both sides bring activities elsewhere into the debate here which doesn't add to the discussion.

I'm sorry I didn't realise the thread meant being attacked  on this forum and not on other debate forums too.

I also believed, that it was referring to "Why are People who suspect the McCanns attacked" wherever one may be posting. It doesn't say...on this forum.
After all I am sure a lot of our members also post elsewhere.
However I am sure that Admin will correct me if I am wrong.

The supporter's of the McCanns have very few facts to work with.

Those who doubt the McCanns have a lot of material to support their case. Their posts are based on many facts.

That's why those who suspect or disbelieve the McCanns are attacked. They post facts which are in the files or taken from videos of interviews. The only way to answer them is either by using opinion, (which is no use as it's subjective) or to attack the credibility of the poster.

Their posts are based on their interpretation of the facts...just opinion....nothing more

Ah yes, that one!..........It must have been a very slow night over there a while ago, when I got a mention as a new poster here, for being unaware of the "speach" joke..........

Something like ;  "It" isn`t in on the joke and now "it" is the joke !!  Cue a line up of LOLLING placards.

Such merriment ensued!   ?{)(**

 "Small potatoes"..........others get a worse going over.  Anything goes because it`s all in the "noble cause of defending the McCanns.".................or so I was told........

Being referred to as an "it"  to be ignored and treated with the contempt it deserves" on this forum, quite recently, surprised and upset me at the time though.

My opinion is as follows; I think the McCanns were wrong to leave their children alone in an unlocked apartment. I also think they didn't tell the whole truth about the events of 3rd May 2007. I formed these opinions by looking at the facts we have available. They admit to leaving their children and their statements show inconsistencies which suggest they haven't told the whole truth. My posts are designed to provide information supporting my opinions. The information isn't my opinion, it's taken from statements and interviews and I provide links.

There is a particular arrogance in believing that your choice of selections is irrefutable ... particularly when so many are examples of half time scores from games which are not in the same league as the one currently being played.

Kate McCann has said she is "really encouraged" by the progress being made in the case of her missing daughter Madeleine.

Kate said she couldn't reveal details of the investigation but said there had been "a lot" of progress in the last six months.

Why not?  She could say nothing, or give a non-committal reply, or even express impatience at the time it's taking to get answers - it would not have a bearing on the investigation one way or the other, would it?  It really does stick in the craw of some people, the thought that the McCanns are both pleased with the progress being made by Op Grange, and the fact that the McCanns are being kept in the loop, and they (the sceptics) aren't.  Well, too bad!

You didn't have to be a moderator.

No one else wanted the job.  And I certainly wasn't the first to be asked.  But I do have to say that I do get some sense of purpose from what I do.  Hour after boring hour, most of the time.

But you need to do it before you begin to realise the purpose of this Forum.  And your right to repeat yourself over and over again.

I do not repeat Abduction over and over again, because I rarely comment.

And with my vociferous attitude in days of yore, which was at least two years ago now, do you think that John didn't see me as a wild card? 
He didn't choose me lightly. In the end John simply relied on my integrity.  And my ability to cope with the shite that gets thrown at every  P r o  Mod that ever tried to keep this Forum on track.
It was my ability to cope with the shite that won it for me in the end.  My integrity was never in question.

And Yes, I did want the job.  But I doubt that you would understand for why.

Why google?, just ask Gerry or Kate...if they know they will tell you. 8**8:/: BUT here's the thing The PJ will not divulge anything to the McCanns-not a sausage due to their secrecy laws. AND as I recall, the PJ and SY were having serious fall outs according the the MSN UK.

Kate didn't say they were being updated about the investigation's progress. She didn't say the Met were telling them things in confidence. What she said I have re-posted to remind you. It's all very vague and won't bother the Met or the PJ.


Kate McCann has said she is "really encouraged" by the progress being made in the case of her missing daughter Madeleine.

Kate said she couldn't reveal details of the investigation but said there had been "a lot" of progress in the last six months.

If what Kate McCann said today is a lie, and they are not being updated about the investigation's progress and are not being told stuff in confidence by the Met then guess what?  The Met themselves will have cast iron proof that Kate McCann is lying to the world.  Now, why would she go and do a thing like that, lie in an interview only to be instantly caught out as a liar by the force investigating her child's disappearance?  Explanation, anyone?
Excellent observation Alfie.  8@??)(

Why would Kate be such a fool as to lie, when if she did, SY would have her nailed as a liar ?

Kate McCann has said she is "really encouraged" by the progress being made in the case of her missing daughter Madeleine.

Kate said she couldn't reveal details of the investigation but said there had been "a lot" of progress in the last six months.

'It’s inevitable I will be thinking of Madeleine'

7:39 - 15 JUN 2015

Well obviously I can’t give any investigation details out but let’s just say we’re really encouraged. There has been a lot of progress in the last six months plus, last year. The co-operation between the UK and the Portuguese seems to be really good which is really positive for us and I can say there is progress being made.–

Kate McCannKate McCann, mother of missing Madeleine, is taking part in a bike ride from Edinburgh to London to raise awareness and funds for the charities Missing People and Child Rescue Alert. The team plan to cycle 500 miles in five days, and we're catching up with them on day three.Eight years since Madeleine McCann disappeared, a child is reported missing every five minutes in the UK (National Crime Agency figures 2012/13) - 89% of those missing incidents are resolved within 48 hours.Child Rescue Alert is a UK-wide alerting system to secure the safe return of the most vulnerable missing children - the charity currently have 556 live appeals.Kate tells us that she is 'encouraged' by the developments in the search for her missing daughter, and that when times get tough she'll be saying "I’m doing this for Madeleine, I’m doing this for all missing children.”

Did Kate give you the impression, or did she not, that she is privy to information about Operation Grange that she is not at liberty to divulge?  If she did not give you that impression, then fair enough, that's your opinion, but if she did give that impression then if I was a member of Op Grange I would think her behaviour somewhat odd if I knew that she was completely in the dark about the investigstion.  Do you disagree?  No doubt you do!

Right, we're getting somewhere at last!  That being the case, Kate "trying to con the public", how is that going to sit with members of Operation Grange?  Is it a very wise thing Kate did "trying to con the public" knowing full well that the Met will see this "con" in operation?

There you go with that 'thinking' thing again. thin skinned hypocrisy indeed. Panic sets in everytime someone crushes the 'abductor theory' or Kate's new lifestyle.  I just wonder why she is ambassador for missing people because we have been led to beleive he daughter was 'abducted. so should there not be an abductee convention or something?

As a person who "suspects" the McCanns and who must by definition be one of the "attacked" mentioned in the title of the thread I wonder if you would care to ponder ...

Why you have attacked me for "thinking" and why do you think it is important to attack Kate McCann in such an ignorant and unpleasant way?

Why aren't you taking the opportunity of a thread set up specifically for ... you ... and other "suspicious" people to enumerate the alleged heinous attacks you appear to believe you are suffering?

It's around twice as many as Kate McCann, as I said. I have no other way of assessing how many people believe the McCanns and how many doubt them. It's not hard evidence but it's an indication. It would perhaps explain why those who doubt them are attacked. There's no point in suing them because they have no money. The police aren't interested in arresting them so 'dossiers' are a waste of time. The only option left is to bully and harass them so they shut up and go away. Of course that obviously isn't working either.

Were I capable of enumerating every site set up with the sole purpose of "doubting" or "suspecting" or to be just downright nasty as far as Madeleine McCann's parents are concerned I would be a very busy little bee indeed.

Only yesterday Stephen was gloating over hateful comments made in a national newspaper which he found edifying but which must have bemused the ordinary reader who might have been expecting to read something which reflected positively on a charity bike ride instead of diatribes about one of the participants.

Some of the comments attached by supporters to the Goncalo Amaral appeal fund reflect some very unbalanced and disturbed opinions indeed.

People who are "suspicious" of Madeleine's parents, many of whom have been indulging themselves in attacks on the Drs McCann for a mind boggling eight years, are asserting it is they who are under attack.

Come on ... you will have to do a bit better than making generalisations ... come up with the specifics of the situation you appear to be claiming.
I think your difficulty may very well be that the alleged "attacks" are figments of fevered imagination and are actually rebuttals which challenge the veracity of many of the 'facts' and 'opinions' promulgated day in and day out by some of the most ill informed people ever given access to a keyboard.

Both of you - grow up.   

The mods here do an excellent job of refereeing, and deserve thanks,

If you actually read what I said earlier in regard to  to what was said last year in appointing new mods last year, and which was abided by, I would have no quibbles.

In my view, moderators should be just that and do the job they accepted, i.e. to moderate.

I have no problem with people having their views, but sometimes bias is inevitable.

The only 'manipulation' of figures that I know of -  is the false Total of how many people have contributed to Amaral's fund -  which is being allowed to continue uncorrected on the Gofundme site.       IMO  a clear case of  turning a blind eye to 'useful disinformation' -  i.e. it gives the impression to the public that far more people are supporting him than actually are.

Were I capable of enumerating every site set up with the sole purpose of "doubting" or "suspecting" or to be just downright nasty as far as Madeleine McCann's parents are concerned I would be a very busy little bee indeed.

Only yesterday Stephen was gloating over hateful comments made in a national newspaper which he found edifying but which must have bemused the ordinary reader who might have been expecting to read something which reflected positively on a charity bike ride instead of diatribes about one of the participants.

Some of the comments attached by supporters to the Goncalo Amaral appeal fund reflect some very unbalanced and disturbed opinions indeed.

People who are "suspicious" of Madeleine's parents, many of whom have been indulging themselves in attacks on the Drs McCann for a mind boggling eight years, are asserting it is they who are under attack.

Come on ... you will have to do a bit better than making generalisations ... come up with the specifics of the situation you appear to be claiming.
I think your difficulty may very well be that the alleged "attacks" are figments of fevered imagination and are actually rebuttals which challenge the veracity of many of the 'facts' and 'opinions' promulgated day in and day out by some of the most ill informed people ever given access to a keyboard.

I reported what was in the National Press brietta.

Try keeping to the facts.

I note the Express pages are still there today with the comments.

You are certainly in error if you believe 'normal readers' can't see through the mccanns.

Why anyone should object to well informed, intelligent posters with an excellent knowledge of relevant facts posting here is a mystery to me.

The response by some posters seems to be to goad them until they retaliate - and then report them.  Or the poster gets fed up with the sneering goads and leaves.

Either way it's a loss to the forum IMO.

I have only ever known OxfordBloo as that ... and I care very little whether he posted under another name at another time or not.
I think he brought a great deal to the forum and upped the ante and raised the tone of the debate ... I think he contributed a lot to the forum with his informed contributions (some of which were way over my head ... but from some I learned a great deal).
I was devastated when he left the forum ... I think posters like him, who are few and far between should be valued and protected from the slings and arrows ... I too think he is a great loss.

Debunker/Oxford Bloo always put his foot in it in the end, you get used to posters style after a while so very easy to detect.

And just for the record I had nothing to do with his removal for making rude comments.
He wasn't removed he decided to leave and before he did so he told me the reason why.

For the sake of clarity, I removed OxfordBloo at his request after receiving the following:

His or her posts remain but can be reinstated if he/she decides to return and apologises.

Exactly - and we all know the mod he was referring to. %£&)**#

                     I wonder how many normal readers even bother?  &%+((£

The really unsettling thing is when one is capable of recognising many of the commentators from many other places and contemplate what it is that drives such people to spend their lives stalking (that is what it is) in particular the mother of a missing child to spit such venom at her.

That you celebrate and that they derive great satisfaction from delighting in such aberrant behaviour says so much. 

When one considers this obsession has been indulged and glorified for over eight years ... one does not really need to wonder much more about them.

It seems that the people who "suspect the McCanns" and are allegedly "attacked" for indulging in their worthwhile endeavours ... are no strangers to dishing out attacks whenever and wherever they can get off with it or even on it.

OxfordBloo had a good knowledge of the 'libel' trial and helped me to understand it. Unfortunately his insistence on his 'scientific' knowledge let him down, particularly when it came to the social 'sciences' and his determination to rely on statistical studies. Statistics are helpful indications when looking at large numbers of cases, but have no relevance in an individual case. He took offence and went off because he wanted to control the moderators. He then went to another forum where he was again recognised instantly as a previous member under another name and he lasted just a few days there. If someone is convinced their opinion is correct they should commit to defending it even if it's difficult, in my opinion.

You do not criticize the mccanns for their abject neglect and danger they placed their children in.

Instead you merely attack those , including myself who don't believe in the abduction scenario.

It is an insult............but never mind...........You couch yours in so many words they go unnoticed.

People who have ever posted or  or condoned posts like the one below from that appalling site alluded to previously are no better than those they feel "attack" the McCanns.

Is that "specific" enough for you?

You have singularly failed to address why you and those you defend are the people who feel they are under attack despite actively participating, encouraging and condoning abusive and hate filled campaigns directed entirely at Madeleine McCann's parents and family.
Not for five minutes ... not for a day ... not even a week ... but for eight solid years without let up.  That takes a measure of dedication and it takes a particular type of personality to sustain such vitriol.

I do not agree with the McCann's for leaving the children.     The McCann's have openly said that they thought it was safe and that the regret what they did.    They have been interviewed by Social Services and the twins were allowed to stay with them.   It is something they will have to live with for the rest of their lives.

It doesn't mean that people have the right to attack and abuse the McCann's every time they are in the news for what ever they are doing.

Why are people choosing the bike ride for Charity to post a load of spite?

Do you agree with the posts Stephen?

The fact that the McCann's have not been charged with anything and that SY say they are not suspects or persons of interest tells me that they should not have to put up with this sort of harassment for that is what it is.

Some have expressed the view that the Needham's are not telling the truth [I totally disagree]  but do you see spite written in the scale the McCann's get every time Kerry is in the news?

You have made a handful of allegations (I think) in support of the claim made in the thread title. 

If I started to cut and paste now the offensive remarks attacking whoever comes into the sights of the suspicious ones, I could keep it up indefinitely ... almost like perpetual motion ... and never be short of offensive material to post ... such is the predominance of it.

I don't recognise who or what you are referring to Carew,  but I do know that a poster from here (wonderfulspam) posted that:-

''All McCann supporters are creepy old paedophiles.

The evidence speaks for itself.''

And that is just one example of his vile posts - there were plenty more just as offensive  -  which of course were quickly removed and so maybe not seen by many posters.

Are you surprised that people elsewhere who did see them were appalled and so commented?

You have made a handful of allegations (I think) in support of the claim made in the thread title. 

If I started to cut and paste now the offensive remarks attacking whoever comes into the sights of the suspicious ones, I could keep it up indefinitely ... almost like perpetual motion ... and never be short of offensive material to post ... such is the predominance of it.

Yes, I am quite sure you could post many yourself and yes, I have kept to the thread title.

What more should I have done?

First you imply that "attacks" possibly only exist in my "fevered imagination" and request examples, not generalisations.

I therefore supply specific copies of posts freely available out there for all to read.....and you maintain that you can`t understand the English.

Next is the inevitable stock riposte that you could do the same re attacks on the McCanns.

I know that.....but it misses the point.

Maybe just a simple acknowledgement that nasty threatening "attacks" on doubters do happen, rather than the denial you seem to put so much energy into?

I accept that it is difficult for those who grab the high moral ground for themselves to admit that their fellows can be every bit as nauseating as those they feel are their moral inferiors.

I don't recognise who or what you are referring to Carew,  but I do know that a poster from here (wonderfulspam) posted that:-
---------------------
''All McCann supporters are creepy old paedophiles.

The evidence speaks for itself.''

-------------------------------------------------------

And that is just one example of his vile posts - there were plenty more just as offensive  -  which of course were quickly removed and so maybe not seen by many posters.

Are you surprised that people elsewhere who did see them were appalled and so commented?
Now it's McCann supporters on this forum who have allegedly called sceptics "paedophiles" according to the person who started this thread (and which was approved of by Admin!)  Perhaps the OP thought Wonderfulspam was a McCann supporter, though they'd have to be a bit dense to come to that conclusion...?

Neither your post nor Carew's post above mean a thing to me ... they are unintelligible to those not 'in the know' ... I don't even know if the use standard English would help ... I would recommend a try at using it though.

Just try typing in what was given on google, and you will find those repulsive sites all too easily.

Well, yes I was "surprised" at the comments......( an understatement, actually!)

Weren`t you surprised, then?

Those who assume the high moral ground should not feel that responding in kind ..........or worse.........is appropriate.

Was it appropriate to respond by referring to posters here as "child rape enthusiasts?"

It is prudent to pretend they are a figment of an overactive sceptics imagination if you are one of the faithful.
Finding out they [the sites referred to] actually exist would cause a serious overload I am sure.

That is just the sort of thing I had posted to me Carew on that forum I was talking about.

Another was 'where is she, the p..do the school must be out'      'her children must be deformed she passes them around a pa.do ring'.      'She must be down the docks servicing'    etc. etc.

As has been pointed out before, there are some really nasty people on both 'sides'. Perhaps we can all accept that now. We should also acknowledge that most people on here aren't nasty or spiteful, we just happen to have different opinions. Debating the case is fine, attacking people for having a different opinion isn't.

Yes, Lace, I thought that was probably what happened to you and from anywhere it is disgraceful.

The point was that people who doubt the McCanns do get "attacked" and threatened too.........as  persons from this forum did and that`s what the thread is about.

 Some supporters seem to want any excuse to target, threaten or simply ridicule someone......no better than their accusations of doubters ;  whilst at the same time claiming the high moral ground for decency and compassion.  That extreme nastiness is gratuitous and can`t be explained away as "defending the McCanns."

(I like what G Unit has just posted.........in a nutshell!)

Let me see now ... were I as thin skinned as some I might claim yours and Stephen's snide comments mentioning me by name but not including me in the conversation a form of bullying normally seen in the school playground ... how does that fit in with your concept that "suspicious" people are attacked? when you actually seem to be the ones employing bullying as an attack on me.

Most posters are well aware of the less than helpful and onesided comments which have been made elsewhere and like me, after a while, best to simply ignore them.  The last thing we need is those remarks being brought here and disseminated in detail.

In many cases the comments can be attributed to former banned members who obviously feel the need to be heard somewhere...anywhere.
