Madeleine McCann - why are people so obsessed?

[Alfred R Jones]

That link didn't work Alfred, but I don't want to see a weirdo naked really, if that's what it was.
Just how much stranger can one get?

God knows.  Maybe it's just a sick joke?

Nothing would surprise me from the twitter-facebook folk.

Obsession takes a new turn, and it's not very pretty.  This woman gets naked for Madeleine and talks about hope bring "repulsive" in the context of Madeleine being alive.  Instead she insists quite unequivocally (and some might say quite gleefully) that Madeleine is dead.  Repulsive is a word I would use to describe this woman's actions, that and utterly, hopelessly obsessed.

A disturbing post by I would think a seriously disturbed individual.

She's more actress than anything, but that facebook post might be a hoax anyway.

It'll go down like a lead balloon in either case.

No you haven't - there was a placard in the way...

Probably hiding something mysterious like Alfie's comfort blanket!  &%+((£

Hello, thanks for the putdown - who are you, anyway?  A moderator I see...have we met before?

No Alfred, we haven't met before.  I'm only here to make up the numbers in the dwindling Bamber section... and to provide a little light entertainment along the way!
I steer clear of the McCann minefield, TYVM

You're wise to do so, goodbye.

Someone who is apparently now deceased (RIP), due to illness, started numerous anti-Mccann-related blogs.

I've no idea exactly how many... somewhere around 50 would seem to be a reasonable estimate (perhaps fewer or perhaps many more).

I can empathise with the fact that the person in question was battling an illness. I can also understand that she may have needed some kind of unrelated focus on which to address her attention.

Perhaps her numerous blogs were simply a way of leaving a trace that she existed.

However, I don't understand the fierce attack on a family that she presumably didn't know, and who simply contented herself with repeating long-discredited "news" or views.

Were those who encouraged her really her "friends", or were they simply encouraging her for other reasons?

Or perhaps she just thought the story the McCanns told just didn't hang together and so did her friends ?

Valid point... however, if her state of health enabled her to create 50 or so blogs, she could presumably have also analyzed and avoided repeating articles based on discredited myths.
