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

[jassi]

I have no real idea who this character is etc but from KM's book there was only limited action they could take and he apparently is still vocal online. 

People can form their own opinions.  Most people I think would be highly suspicious of such an individual and see him/her as being somewhat disturbed to go to such lengths especially when law enforcement have been unable to find any evidence against the McCanns.   

I think KM is probably the driving force behind the litigation as she strikes me as someone who likes a lot of control.

Do you think so?
I see her as the more vindictive of the pair, but I feel he equally likes/needs control.

[Holly Goodhead]

John takes it seriously.  That's for sure.

I wouldn't be here if he didn't.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Don't suppose anyone really cares, one way or the other - but if it makes you feel better then fine.

Oops, I think I already did.  He is sceptic in extremis, but I think a little bit of him resides at the heart of every sceptic.

he doesnt say anything of importance online...if he did he would be in contempt of court and probably jailed

john takes libel seriously is what was meant

You mean the little bit that says ' we don't believe them' ?

Yes I think the book is revealing eg avoiding putting the lights on "at all costs" to avoid waking the children.  I think KM likes everything ordered which might come from being an only child.  Whereas GM grew up as 1 of 5 siblings I believe in a 1 bed? property meaning the chances are things were probably chaotic.

No, that obviously goes without saying, by definition of being a sceptic.

It seems he doesn't care that much now there's a new deputy in town.

But there's a mountain of stuff online which is highly critical of the McCanns.  And imo had they just kept their heads down and taken a different approach they would have fewer critics.

Just as long as it isn't Deputy Dawg, as it would lead to endless argument over what the pronouncements meant

Of course he does he's the owner of the forum and the rules are set out on the homepage.

So what constitutes libel in your view then?

[The General]

All sceptics? I think he's an absolute weapon and quite possibly three parts mad.
Actually, maybe you're right.....

He was on a podcast on something or other a couple of weeks ago. Can confirm that he's still banging on about the same stuff, but he's been reeled right in under threat of litigation - he kept referring to it. Tool.

[Mr Gray]

Of course he does he's the owner of the forum and the rules are set out on the homepage.

and thats why posters cant make accusations against the mccanns on the forum
