I would..it's odd...do you have children...birthdays are precious and his will only now be remembered for his mothers death

Of course you would.
Is it ?.
Yes 3
That's life for you; sometimes one is the bug sometimes one is the windshield.

You are confusing my point here, unsurprisingly.

My point was in relation to why the McCanns, specificly, get 'trolled'.

Why Ms Leyland 'trolled' the McCanns & not Kerry Needham, for example.

The reason is, it's because she, like many others, believed the McCanns come across as a couple united in covering up a tragedy, or as I prefer to put it, a pair of massive liars.

That's why she dunnit...to them, that was my point.

Know what ... maybe you actually have hit on something there.

You think that Brenda Leyland may have trolled them because "she, like many others, believed the McCanns come across as a couple united ..."

Madeleine McCann's parents have risen above the greatest difficulties it is possible to imagine;  together they have combated a situation the stresses of which leave many marriages or relationships in pieces.

The trolls don't see the underlying pain of this strong, united couple, they see only the public personae.
Their energy and drive in combination with their obvious 'togetherness' must hold up a mirror to their lives which are seriously lacking or flawed in some way.

No, no,  you seem to have misunderstood,  I'm saying..she trolled them because she believed they are up to their bleedin necks, innit.

That's why she trolled them, not for the reasons you've given.

The police do seem able to react to tweets...

A friend of mine committed suicide on my birthday.  And I have never been in any doubt that he was sending me a message because he believed that I had let him down.  I hadn't, but that is by the by.  The memory is always there. 
But to do this to a son is the most unkind cut of all.  And I would rather not think of how that poor boy will deal with this, for the rest of his life.

I feel very sorry for her family and friends who no doubt are now being harassed by some sceptics who want them to pursue this matter and so are bombarding them with their hate filled AntiMcCann bile.    IMO that is the last thing her family would want to do and I truly believe that none of them will want to do anything other than be left alone  to grieve in the normal way -  and in private.

I also feel very sad for Brenda's family and friends, who are left with the confusing. circumstances of her death, which will take a long time for them to accept and understand.

I feel that unkind comments directed at her now, will cause even more grief to the family, who have done nothing to deserve it.

Brenda was central to a campaign of unkind comments directed at the McCanns causing grief to them and their family....sometimes the truth is unpleasant but it is still the truth. On  a forum where unkind comments towards the McCanns is considered normal.....Brenda's words were "I am entitled to"....I don't see any problem with comments re Brenda

[Mr Gray]

Unkind maybe but if her comments are vile so are Kate's.

I don't agree...furthermore kate has sufferrred a terrible loss...Brenda hadn't

Brenda can no longer be hurt by words. Davel and although I understand what you are saying, at the end of the day, it is her family, who are being punished.
Apart from all the above, this is the season of goodwill and the family are still in mourning.

What utter rubbish.

[slartibartfast]

What utter rubbish.

Why?

[Anna]

I know how the McCann family have been hurt and I feel very sad that the twins are suffering as well, but two wrongs don't make a right.

I would just be so pleased, if hurtful comments were left out of posts, at least until after Christmas.
 I don't expect it to happen though...................Just hopeful thinking on my part.

[Mr Gray]

What happened to free speech...were you one of the posters who have tried to blame the McCcanns for Brenda's death...it was Brenda's decision to harass the McCanns...seem's like the family were not particularly close...


here we are a post from Stephen....

If Madeleine hadn't disappeared, would she still be alive dave ?

I agree Davel, but I do feel sorry for her family - especially her estranged son.    If BL deliberately took her own life on his birthday - then IMO that was an incredibly cruel thing for any mother to do to their own son - and one which will probably affect him for the rest of his life.
