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

[Benice]

Worse than being threatened constantly with having your home address revealed publicly ? Worse than being ambushed and humiliated on worldwide television ? I doubt it even came close.

It was her choice. No-one forced her to join Twitter - she could have left at any time.   

G'night Faith.
&
G'night Eleanor.

Isnt it time people let Brenda Leyland rest in peace?

As far as I can see there is bullying all over the Internet with regards to the McCann case so she or he who cast the first stone and all that.

No one is going to win this argument, a WOMEN DIED over this lets not forget it. Where is the COMPASSION on this forum for her. I have never in my life seen such hatred towards people who question the McCanns.

NO ONE not ANYONE, knows what happened to the child. It is a mystery and justice has not been served for this child no way....

But for me, all this argey bargey about BL is becoming distasteful. Yeh i know then dont read it, but I want to ask people to just be respectful for a women who died, because of her belief right or wrong. I have seen worse and nastier musings against people who think the McCanns are guilty then the other way round, the Internet is full of them.

RIP Brenda, you died in vane sadly, you ended up just more fodder to feed the trolls. xxxxx

The simple answer is why don't people leave the McCanns in peace...if they did then Brenda may well still be alive.

This is a very good point.

In endeavouring to publicise Madeleine's case they by default promote interest in the case and as such people will have their own opinions.

[Alfred R Jones]

So are you saying Brenda's on-line behaviour was unacceptable but the behaviour towards her was ?

what are you saying Faithlilly?  That Brenda's behaviour was acceptable but those challenging her were not?  You seem awfully supportive of Brenda - why is that?

There is a vast difference between having/voicing an opinion about the McCann case and publicly conducting a fanatical  h.a.t.e campaign against the McCann family imo.

The 'hate campaign' as you call it, is very evident from some mccann supporters to those who don'r believe the mccanns.

Or are you blinded/blinkered by your support for the mccanns, that you won't accept, the 'hate' goes in both directions.

Which Blacksmith has so adequately analysed and demonstrated on many occasions.

I agree, as long as you accept that doubting or being suspicious of the McCanns is not hate.

I presume you are talking about a hate campaign between sceptics and supporters.   People hurling abuse at one another on twitter is completely different to one family being solely targetted by one group of people.

You may have been able to say it was different before BL's death, but not now. The two will forever now be linked.

You had one group of angry people batting another group of equally angry people, and then a third group of angry people showed up. Neither of the first two groups has any power, but the third one does and they use it.

They didn't use much common sense though - just what were they hoping to achieve by randomly selecting one woman and humiliating her?

How was that ever going to make the situation better?

There's no way it could have but they didn't care, they were angry themselves. This was vigil[ censored word]m, by a TV channel.

I have no problem at all with people who have doubts.  Some post on this forum - and the vast majority of them are genuinely interested in discussing the different aspects of the case - and their differing opinions on them.        There is no comparison between those posters and a group of people who have no real interest in the case, but only want to screech their 'h.a.t.r.e.d' of the McCann family on Twitter/FB on a daily basis. 

Attempting to lump them all together under the same umbrella of 'doubters' is not possible IMO.  They are poles apart.

Very true. Unfortunately it was the rational people who disappeared after what Sky News did.

The irrational as you know are now stronger than ever.
