I think it's sweet that some people care so much about the reputation and feelings of a couple they don't know and have no idea what they're like. So much do they care that anyone who doesn't share their devotion is labelled '[ censored word ]''troll' 'stupid' 'deluded'. How is it that people can care so much for strangers and hate other strangers so much? Is it the wierdness of being anonymous on the internet? I think those who defend people they don't know may be mistaken or a tad naive, but I prefer not to indulge in schoolyard type name-calling. Obviously the parents of a missing child matter to some people very much, even though no-one knows why or how she came to be missing.
How sweet it is to be patronised by you-be-do-be-do!
Have I ever called you a [ censored word ] or a troll or stupid or deluded?
Have I ever told you that I hate you?
Would it make any difference if I said I have no particular strong emotional attachment to or feelings for Kate and Gerry or their family (or Madeleine) per se, but that I do have a strenuous objection to those who have taken part a prolonged and concerted witch-hunt which is what has been going on for years against these two parents of a missing child? And no, I know YOU are not part of the witch hunt because you are sweet and lovely and "only asking questions" - my objection is with the people that ARE carrying out the witch-hunt, and also those who like to pretend that the McCanns are not victims of a sustained internet campaign of hate and vitriol, myths and lies.
