Why Should We Believe the Parent’s When....?

[Erngath]

Faithlilly, so she lied.  You lie too.  you admitted it.  Does that mean everything you say is a lie?  Is your credibility in tatters because you lied?    Was the lie Kate told damaging?  Did it cause upset?  Did it prevent justice from being served?  No.  It was inconsequential and not really all that far from the truth.  Not only that, she even owned up to it in her book (no need whatsoever to do that).  Please show some balance and perspective.  I know it's hard when you've invested so much of your time and energy in painting the McCanns as villains, but this is a sad reflection on you, far more than on them.

Well said.

Only the contrary I feel anger for those who do not believe the parents are duplicitous. I would hate to be treated with such utter contempt by those who I offered my support. That the parents use the public’s natural empathy with the parents of lost children against them infuriates me more than just about anything else in this case.

Divide and conquer has always been their raison d’etre for this entire circus and nowhere is it more acutely displayed than on this board. Individuals who, in real life, would probably get on famously knock lumps out of each other each and every day and bestow on each other the most insulting character traits simply because they believe something different. This case is toxic and there is only one reason for that.

Strange to me you feel all this anger... I find that quite illogical... Avery strange post

Not strange at all. Have you never felt anger at an injustice perpetrated on someone else ? Isn’t it simply a human reaction?

So you are angry with thr McCanns on behalf of their supporters?  Interesting.

Your anger us abnormal.. IMO... Very abnormal and just out if all proportion

Indeed, its usually supporters being angry with sceptics on behalf of the MCcanns.

I think not feeling anger when you are being sold a pup is abnormal...but I suppose you’ve had 12 years to come to terms with it.

I dont feel ive been sold anything....i just have an interest in the case...you seem very emotionally involved

That seems a fair assessment.

I have VS on ignore so only see his posts if they are ncluded in another post but of course I’ll answer.

Kate’s justification for being dishonest about Gerry’s virus was judicial secrecy. She could simply have said no comment, which was exactly what she did when she didn’t want to answer questions in her arguido interview.

Maybe 'no comment'  might have sounded a bit brash,  so she told a white lie,  Gerry did have a stomach upset but she elaborated it.


They weren't allowed to speak about the investigation.

Who sold anyone a pup?  I don't feel anger towards Sceptics.  But I have to say that the nastiness gets through to me sometimes, although I am getting better at dealing with it.  In my own head, that is.

A fact remains for me.  Even if I am wrong, which I doubt, then I haven't spent the last twelve years slagging off The McCanns with nothing more than supposition to go on.

There is a Rule of Law.  Innocent until Proven Guilty.  And if you ignore that then Society is in deep trouble.

Well said Eleanor.
Neither do I feel I have 'been sold a pup" and definitely no anger towards the family of a missing child.

If you are wrong then you'd have been supporting potential child killers, body ocultars & fraudsters for the past 12 years.
How could you live with yourself?  I know I couldn't.
Nope, I think it much safer to presume the McCanns guilty,
If I'm wrong then no harm done.

It isn't my place to convict The McCanns.  I support The Rule of Law.  You obviously don't.  This will ultimately do more harm to yourself, but then it's probably too late to save you.

It hasn't done me any harm so far.
I've quite enjoyed myself to be honest.
