“A Laughable Story”

[Mr Gray]

I often wonder what motivates sceptics to log on every day for 13 yearsm trying to persuade anyone who will listen that two people they have nothing to do with and have never met are criminals evading justice.  I find that quite psychologically interesting.

Everything we do...every choice we make...to a certain extent is psychologically driven. I do find it interesting to read posts and try to understand the psychology behind them . I think I could tell you a lot about some posters here simply from their posts. One emotion I see a lot from sceptics is bitterness

[Mr Gray]

spme have admitted they did  what the mcanns did themselves    so maybe they feel guilty??

I don't feel at all guilty..I feel lucky. I did something I thought was safe...I wouldn't  do it again

The McCanns did something lots of people have done. ..others were lucky...Maddie and her family weren' t

[Brietta]

The supporter gave me the details of the person she thought I was and it was an actual person. The supporter also said that they were going to contact the poor girl’s employer. As I knew people the supporter had done this to in the past I had no reason to doubt them.

Thank you … rather amazing this very chummy ‘supporter’ was willing to incriminate him/herself directly to you with the threat of contacting “the poor girl’s employer” thinking she was you.  I thought it was the fact that the contact had already been made which was the point you were making.

I’m amazed how you “knew” this individual had a record of doing this.  I didn't think it was usual for poison pen writers to ‘fess up.  I thought the whole point of such aberrant behaviour was anonymity, but there you are then.



Back on topic now please  ...  “A Laughable Story”

[Vertigo Swirl]

a reminder of the topic

According to at least one member of this forum the McCanns “abduction story” is laughable.

So what exactly is the abduction story told by the McCanns, which bits make forum members laugh and why?

We all know some find the jemmied shutters rather hilarious but that is just a semantics game played by certain members objecting to the word “jemmied” which may or may not have been uttered by Gerry.  Whether he meant actually jemmied with a crow bar or force opened by some other means is really a boring argument that seems pointless to repeat for the umpteenth time - the gist though is that the McCanns said someone else opened the shutters and window.

Does this make forum members laugh and if so please explain why it tickles you so.

Also anything else that gets you giggling about the “abduction story” as told by the McCanns, please share your views here.

If I may say so ... I think that post must rank as the most laughable yet in your attempt to smear using 'the fund' as your vehicle.

What fund ???

The one which was so depleted that it could not sustain paying to continue the search for Madeleine when no one else was looking for her?
Kate wrote her book, not for personal gain or aggrandisement as Amaral did, but to put the proceeds into the fund's coffers to enable the search for Madeleine to continue until the appropriate folk who should have been doing it, took over due to Madeleine's parents' hard work and persistence they should.

I've never been able to work out why sceptics have this visceral objection first touted by Amaral to the vehicle for financing the search for Madeleine.

What fund ???

I was referring to when the fund was started...when they had nothing.

My posts B are no more laughable than yours.

How many more suspects are going to be dragged up...acussed of being the abductor.

When it has never been proved there was an abductor in the first place,

Nothing has been proved, does that therefore mean all theories and discussions of them are also laughable in your view?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Laughable - so ludicrous as to be amusing.

So why is the Abduction theory so ludicrous as to be amusing when it's clear to many (including Operation Grange and German Prosecutor for example) that it is the most logical and plausible explanation for Madeleine's disappearance.  How can there be such a huge gulf between the two views?

You don't seem to understand how these things work...if an abductor is found and proven guilty then that proves abduction.
You and others seem to think a crime has to be proven before there can be an investigation...that's bonkers imo

If we follow your logic it would be wrong to investigate the parents until their involvement had been proven

Because it didn't happen.

I believe in innocent until proven guilty.

Therefore Maddie wasn't abducted, since there's no proof anyone abducted her.
