Brenda Leyland. Coroner's Court reconvenes on 20 March 2015.

The thrust of this discussion, as you call it, is what will be revealed at the coroner's court.

If anonymity is an issue, it is whether the anonymity of the dossier compilers and those who abused Brenda both before and after her 'outing' will be revealed.

I read, somewhere, that someone described Brenda as a true cyber warrior, or some-such ...

The post mortem ruled out foul play, so that only leaves natural causes or suicide.

What a wonderful description. I'll drink to that!
Of course the word "dossier" lends gravitas to what is really a list compiled by one group of people with questionable principles of another group of people with questionable principles.
Like you I don't see this list featuring too much in the proceedings. One can envisage the coroner asking questions about the "what and where and when and how and why and who" regarding Mr Brunt's interview with the unfortunate lady as it would appear he was one of the last people to see her alive.

Erm. One of the last... ok, possibly.

When did the Daily Mail take photos of her? Wasn't that after Brunt?

Unless Brunt was also a hotel receptionist, he can't have been the last person to see her alive.

I don't particularly wish to get into a debate on this as there are no doubt family members and close friends who are grieving right now.

I did say "would appear to be one of the last in order to prevent nit picking like you have just done.
Fat chance of that ever on here  *&*%£

I'd call her more a cyber activist myself.

abusive troll would be more accurate...IMO

[Alfred R Jones]

If Brenda was a cyber activist, then I guess that makes anyone who spends a large part of their life tweeting abuse at and about others a cyber activist.  Still, I suppose it sounds more noble than troll or abuser.

An example of "cyberactivism" at work:

I have checked the relevant tweet.

It was definitely cyber warrior

[Alfred R Jones]

Anyone know any McCann supporters who claim to be "cyber activists" btw?

[faithlilly]

I have checked the relevant tweet.

And it matters because..........?

[ferryman]

And it matters because..........?

I'm sure you can guess that ...

I'm sure you can guess that ...

Nope you have me stumped.

  So, you think her attempts to intimidate and out another Twitter user, in the mistaken belief that she was a witness in the McCann case, and in the hope that she would lose her job was nothing to be ashamed of?  You think mocking her appearance and weight quite admirable do you?  You think wishing eternal misery on the parents of a missing child perfectly understandable and acceptable do you?  I could go on...

You want so much to believe that Brenda Leyland was evil and vile in order to justify in your mind her being hounded to death by the press and TV. None of the above is a reason to out anyone on television.

I used to feel sorry for the McCanns but not anymore, not at all.They are certainly not doing anything to make themselves any more likable by suing anyone who says anything they don't like.  I find them particularly despicable and vindictive and they are not nice people and no one should be hounded for thinking and saying this. We are not required by law to like them or feel sorry for them even if some of you here think that it should be obligatory.

Firstly, we were discussing whether or not she had anything to be ashamed of.  I gave examples of behaviour that I felt were likely to cause her shame on reflection.  I did not say they were justification for being outed on TV - YOU have made that assumption.  You have also assumed that I believe Brenda to be evil and vile.  Wrong. I believe her to have been seriously misguided, foolish and desperate to please her new cyber pals.  Evil no, but she certainly was responsible for some vile tweets.

Thanks for getting that off your chest and reminding us all why you hate the McCanns so much - you must feel better for that.
