The Portuguese Police thought the dogs were 100% accurate.

who said they were identical

You inferred it when you said Madeleine disappeared off the face of the earth just like Ben Needham


As I said it wasnt "just like" for a few reasons and one very important one! which is part of the subject of this thread

Now I am not  going to argue the toss with you on this one, so best not to respond and if you do dont expect a reply

No you inferred and you are implying that I implied...common grammatical error

just to add...saying that two situations are alike does not mean identical

Was spams offer to tell some Maddie McCann jokes disrespectful...I don't recall any poster having a problem with that post...selective disrespect depends on whether the poster doubts the McCanns

Jokes would be disrespectful of course. I don't think comedians like Frankie Boyle are (that's different) but it would be out of place on a forum like this.

[Benice]

davel, it's actually not respectful to keep invoking Ben to justify your views on Madeleine's disappearance.

Why shouldn't other abduction cases with similarities be mentioned?  Other cases involving sniffer dogs are.

Why shouldn't other abduction cases with similarities be mentioned?  Other cases involving sniffer dogs are.

Because there are no similarities, other than a lack of evidence. Every other factor is different: environment, location, date, developments in the case etc.

Its the lack of evidence that makes it relevant due to stephens continual derailing

Lets not also forget the brain freezing conundrum of the Mccanns linking so many disparate cases to Madeleines from babies to bleedin adults!

and others linking burlgars, paedos, gypsies, ex employees, childless couples, anyne looking slightly "dodgy" in and around the area (up to a year before in cases") the sheik of Oman, the PJ themselves! I am sure I have forgotten loads, well,  anyone they can imagine basically without an iota of credible evidence

It's as relevant as Shergar's disapperance, but that's not mentioned because Shergar wasn't a small child.

You know the point I'm making: mentioning Ben invokes emotion (which has been used as a weapon. Look at twitter and facebook - the two cases have been linked consistently and quite deliberately).
