Can we judge a person's character by their stance on the case?

[Miss Taken Identity]

I reproduced your post exactly as you wrote it. You may not have meant what you said, but you did say it and I don't think I misunderstood or misrepresented it. I'm sorry you're upset, that wasn't my intention. You do, of course, have the right to reply and have done so.

I will leave it to others to judge who they agree with.

I saw and read the offending post- there was no misunderstanding at all. No need to apologise for getting it right G.

It does covey what very early posts from supporters would impl y(and still try to do). sceptics=Nasty Trolls, mentaly ill, low intellegence etc .  Certain mods swipe posts they do not like because they can, and no other reason. Sad but true.

is it important what i think of you and other sceptics....im not at all bothered about sceptics opinions of me...its what people think of me in the real world that counts

Ofcoure it is important to you, this is your world. It gives you the ideation of being someone people seek validation from- Which we don't!  So why VS makes a song and dance about  denying it makes it more bizarre to be honest.

I come here to discuss in amature way about a ,missing child. This is your life support. Evidence:your spats with Rob on every thread about dogs is boring,mundane and should be swiped upon seen.

Well it was quite obvious you would support G-Unit.  I am the best person to judge whether or not there was a misunderstanding because I know what I meant when I wrote the post.  Had I known at the time it would have taken on such importance to this forum I would have added a three hundred word explanation at the end of it so there could have been absolutely no doubt, except in the most enfeebled of minds.

So I should have my posts misrepresented and misunderstood and keep quiet about it, is that the mature thing to do?

Next time I’m accused of misrepresenting or misunderstanding someone’s views this thread will come in very handy.

Well what a mess.  As I see it VS writes something and G-unit is offended by it, and nothing said will change people's minds.
I think we all need to learn from this experience.  No apologies are required, but let's try not to go there again into that no man's land.

TBH it makes not a jot of difference how this issue is played out....this is not real life and you really don’t care what sceptics think of you ( as you said supporters will support you ).

What is undeniable though is that at some point during each sceptics membership of this forum they have been accused of lack of intellect, lack of empathy, being evil, being cowardly, lacking the capacity or insight to understand other’s grief etc, etc, etc and why are they accused of this.....simply because they question the parent’s narrative. It’s simplistic and, for adults to act in this way, rather immature.

Yes, and of course supporters are never accused of any character flaws at all, well apart from being senile or being so old they don’t really know what’s going on, dribbling down their cardis (you to me, once), drunk, gullible, sheeple, in love with the McCanns, child neglect and paedo apologists, etc, etc.

in your opinion...its not really of any importance what you think of anyone here and its not of any importance what they think of you....

[G-Unit]

What I originally wrote (taken out of the context of the discussion on another thread):

“I think on this forum the overriding criterion in deciding whether one is open to learning, nice and wise is whether or not they believe Madeleine was abducted”.

G-Unit has invited ridicule ( she suggests it is ridiculous in her opening post) on what I wrote by interpreting it to mean

“there is no way one group can be described as superior in character to another group based purely on belief in a particular theory”.

Nowhere in my original quote do I suggest that one group is superior to another.

My meaning was that each of us has a tendency to judge the other’s niceness, open to learningness and wiseness based on their beliefs about what happened to Madeleine. 

G-Unit refuses to accept her mistake, and refuses to apologise for her misunderstanding, despite the fact that I have made it very clear that she was mistaken.  I am not upset but I do not like to be misrepresented.

I hope that is now clear to all. 

Thanks for listening!

The original discussion was about whether older peiple were wiser than younger people. You chose to introduce thesupporter/sceptic devide, no-one else.

Did I describe one set as superior to the other?  The simple fact is that I did not.  YOU chose to start an entire thread on a misunderstanding which you surely must have known would result in a slagging match.  It certainly has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with your alleged desire to find out the truth about what happened to Madeleine.

Can I ask on what basis this thread was approved?
