It seems to me there are a myriad of reasons why people become 'obsessed'.    IMO as time has gone by - some people now use the case to bolster their own egos -  and some have latched on to it simply because they get enjoyment from the misfortune of others.    They have no real genuine interest in Madeleine at all IMO.

There are some people who do have genuine doubts and are willing to discuss them.   However, it is the obsessional behaviour of those who spend all their time slagging off the McCanns, insulting their 'supporters' and trying to stifle any debate which does not include slagging off the McCanns which I find so bizarre.   They have little interest in discussing the case.     It's almost as if the McCanns have slighted them personally in some way -  and they are never going to forgive or forget it.   I just don't get that.

My personal interest in the McCanns is minimal.   It's the appalling behaviour of some members of the public towards an innocent family and a missing little girl which I object to and which keeps me posting.   I would feel the same no matter who the victims were.

As a point of fact, you do not know who is responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine.

FACT.

No matter what bluster emerges from certain parties that remains the case.

The obsessive nature of many mccann supporters is also VERY EVIDENT.

It is interesting to note, that the reference I gave last night to such a direct example has been surgically removed.

However, it still remains visible on the source and elsewhere, and remains a pertinent reminder of the mindset of many mccann supporters, who try to claim the high ground, when in reality all that is revealed is unpleasant and nasty individuals.

They endorse the murder of little girls through their support of the Ciprianos.

That's the kind of people they are.

Perhaps as the realisation began to dawn on them that the PJ had given up on Madeleine in the very early stages of the investigation into her disappearance and suspected them of involvement in her death ... the Drs McCann were forced to become pro-active in their campaign to ensure that people would continue to look for a living child.

Those who were buying into the lurid press headlines courtesy of 'a source close to the investigation' now had an excuse to excoriate this apparent extraordinary behaviour.  I don't think they looked beyond that to the extraordinary behaviour of the investigation.  Thus another myth was born and nurtured.

Quite, WS.

I have noticed that those who post seven days a week are very critical of those who also post seven days a week; wonder why that should be?

Because none of us particuarly like each other very much.

It could be that.

I think this could actually be an informative thread if it was allowed to be;  unfortunately repetition of mantras which permeate every thread on the forum add nothing to the reasons the posters feel so impelled to do so.

The only conclusion I can reach is that they cannot support their assertions with any form of reasoned debate.

So is the obsession not with Madeleine McCann at all? ... but just an excuse to exercise a far deeper obsession?

I think it is just sheer hypocrisy ... plain and simple.

LOL ... that'll be the day when I "dislike" someone I have never met and do not know!!  Life is far far too short for that nonsense.

I tend to take a disliking to those I don't trust.

I don't believe the McCanns abduction tale and it's impossible to trust anyone that does.

Where does trust come into respecting the viewpoints of another? None of us are in possession of the full available facts - one unseen statement could change every posters perception. Only a true obsessive would dislike a person who didn't agree with their beliefs.

As long as you accept that on both sides...

Do you have a valid reason of your own for that which doesn't owe anything to the leaks emanating from 'a source close to the investigation' printed first in the Portuguese press and picked up and copied verbatim by a very lazy British press?

The same sort of feeling as when first seeing Tracie Andrews on the telly?
