is there a generation gap with mcann supporters?

[Benice]

No more than those who take pleasure from bashing, say,  Amaral, or perhaps Grime.

I don't know of anyone who bashes Amaral or Grime on a daily basis.  There is no comparison IMO.

Could we get back to The Topic, please.

There is no daily bashing of these individuals that I am aware of, certainly no FB pages or twitter hashtags or forums whose sole purpose is to do lots of "only asking questions" about them. 

[Carew]

I see a lot of them as naive individuals who do not appreciate the evil out there in whatever guise.

There is a vast difference between adults..........(no matter how idealistic or naïve)...........making choices and decisions for themselves and infants dependent upon their parents to make safe choices on their behalf.

[Carew]

I expect you know many who sit on sites set up purely for the purpose of "discussing and researching" people who are in any way critical of the McCanns, though...........as well as Amaral and Grime on a daily basis .

There is actually a basis of logic and a rationale for casting critical comment on Messrs Grime and Amaral.

The McCanns, like Madeleine, are simply victims of an appalling crime, and the couple are doing all they can to get their daughter back.

None of this would have happened but for the mcanns incompetence in taking care of their own children.

Nothing to do with Grime, Amaral or anyone else.

Just the mccanns.

and as to the crime, it's nature has not yet been proven.

[Carew]

Is it "only asking questions" though?  It's the one fact both sides of the discussion acknowledge and agree on, so any continued focus on the McCanns' so-called neglect is simply for the purpose of McCann-bashing.  Is there any point in the next, say, twenty years, when there won't be a litte coven somewhere on the internet pushing up their collective matronly bosom and clucking with disgust about this?  I strongly suspect not.  For some reason harping on about the McCanns' "neglect" gives a lot of people a lot of pleasure.

An earnest and noble mission to rid the net of all negative comments about the McCanns` parenting...........or do you find a teensy bit of pleasure in what you do?

exactly   they put the blame  on everybody else but   maddies parents and  why?

[ferryman]

you  mcann supporters refuse to listen though   without   THE  mccans  lack of childcare  they wouldn't be having to  look  for  her now   whatever  did happen to maddie that night her parents were not there  to protect  her   and  mcann supporters   refuse to accept that and it makes me  wonder  why?

The McCanns genuinely believed that being no more than a (comparative) stone's-throw away, while running regular checks, would be enough.

It turned out not to be that way ...

Why endlessly persecute them over that?

people   will always be horrfied  abput the mcanns lack of parenting and imo it is a  class/older generation issue  if a  a  women   in poverty did what they did she would be in jail and have her kids taken off her

because it led to  maddie  vanishing  off the face of the earth  you  NEVER ever  take risks  with babies like  they  did    so yes   people do blame  the mcanns and  rightly  so

I expect you feel that using terms like "logic and a  rationale for casting critical comment" makes abusing and ridiculing other people sound so much better.

How do you know what they thought ?

So in your book leaving children by themselves in insecure accommodation is acceptable ?

i still stand by   my  OP older  generation parents dont understand  todays parenting     and IMO    they   dont understand that in todays world what the mcanns did   will never be accepted

I was talking about this forum.    However IMO the sites which I think you are referring to only came into existence because people were (and still are) so appalled at the sustained cruel attacks made on the family of a missing child. 

It's also a fact that scores of damaging myths have been - and still are in circulation - and are still used regularly against the McCanns on sceptic sites as if they were true.

Even on this forum we recently had a poster expressing her profound disgust at the McCanns as a result of seeing a piccie of them both sitting at a table with a huge amount of cash in  front of them.    As you know - the photo was a fake -  deliberately circulated to have the precise effect that it did have on that poster.     

Why would anyone object to those myths being exposed as just that....... i.e. Lies.?
