I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.
I gather the facts, examine the clues... and before   you know it, the case is solved!"

Can I ask on what basis this thread was approved?

I would like to know that.

My guess is it was started because the forum had gone a bit flat and it was felt that a nice bit of antagonism was just what was needed to kick start it back into life.

I don't think we need a new thread for that - most threads seem to go along those lines as it is.

Well someone clearly did as I can think of no other reason for this thread’s existence.

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.

Firstly the cardi thing was a little joke, a lighthearted remark....most people wouldn’t be offended by being accused of wearing a cardigan...obviously it’s a touchy subject for you. Secondly it’s undeniable that most supporters on this forum, and from what I’ve seen in the wider supporter community, are over 50 and, like it or not, that generation did show,  perhaps unearned, deference to doctors and their opinions. The other ‘opinions’ are directed at sceptics ( though perhaps not the ‘in love with the McCanns’ and ‘neglect apologist’ ones ) just as much as supporters.

Interesting that supporters constantly say that you can’t judge the parent’s psychology on the interviews etc that they have given yet are quite prepared to judge sceptics on their opinion of this case. I sniff a double standard.

Stop dribbling down your apron, there's an old dear*

* Mods note - this is simply light-hearted banter the likes of which no one could possibly object to.

Face facts Faithlilly both sides make generalisations, both sides judge the other side as having defects - that's what my comment was about, FGS.

What does it say about a person who uses the perceived age of a group as a criticism of that group?  What does it say about a person who makes "light-hearted" remarks to someone else on the forum they perceive to be very old, such as "I can picture you dribbling down your cardigan"?   Can we judge a person's character from stuff like this?

Nail on the head. Lighthearted banter just like that.

Second point.....agreed. The more interesting question is why do we find it necessary? To discuss the case do we really  need to demonise the opposing side ?

I don't feel demonised.  Do you?

It’s the intention that matters, not the result.

I don't think what you wrote was with any affection, or light-heartedness but with a desire to ridicule and insult, in fact it is ageist and unpleasant IMO, in the same way that people claim their racist, sexist, disablist, homophobic, anti-semitic comments are just "light hearted banter" and that the victims of iit should just lighten up and get a sens of humour.  Not acceptable.  IMO.

Oh behave, do VS.

Would it help if I admit that I, on occasion, wear a cardi too ?
