Perceptions of Madeleine's Abduction

[barrier]

Whey Hey.  And what a relief that was after ten years of Moderating.

But I am still here and still Commenting.

Hang on in there you and sadie are the last of the old guard.

Hang on in there you and sadie are the last of the old guard.

I presume that you are using the term  "Old". figuratively.  But I am not alone in my perceptions and nor is Sadie.

I comment these days when I feel so inclined.  As do the rest of you.

I don't know which website you're referring to, but 'articles' suggests publicly available newspaper stories. Armchair detectives researching anonymous people's identities and creating dossiers of the (often wrong) information they have amassed is not the same.

Why is it different?  If you spend years researching the McCanns why shouldn't someone spend years researching you?  I mean I couldn't think of anything less interesting but each to their own.

The McCanns don't have the privilege of being anonymous.  And I didn't need it anyway.  But I suspect that Gunit and the odd few others wouldn't like it.

This being my perception.

I did mostly.  But 24/7 was difficult even for me.

He did mention it quite a lot.

Did Myster spend years researching the McCanns? He was being investigated by dossier compilers some years ago. It seems no-one was safe from their suspicions, even those who agreed with them. Was that due to paranoia I wonder?

Who mentioned what?

What are you talking about?

The McCanns willingly abandoned their privacy. I don't know your name even now, and I don't want to.

Added to which, all was freely available via MSM & police files etc.

Of course you don't know my name.  But then you wouldn't, would you.  One of them is Eleanor.

Who said Myster was being investigated by dossier compilers?  Who said Myster spent anytime at all researching the McCanns?  IMO this is a load of deflecting nonsense.  Sadie has very obviously imo got hold of the wrong end of the stick.  As both you and Myster are moderators I would suggest ironing this out with Sadie privately?

They didn’t willingly want their detractors to track them down to their front door and publishing their address on the net for all to see.

Then why did they, along with Clarence Mitchell, address the media whilst standing right outside the front of their house?

Seems like a strange thing to do, if they didn't want people knowing where they lived.

If you engage with the media as they did you can say goodbye to privacy.
