Does Goncalo Amaral have a cult following?

[Alfred R Jones]

What for? To pay his lawyers. People knew for a long time there were people trying to raise funds for him. Funds were obviously needed and people knew it, but nowhere near this much was ever raised before.

Not much of a cult is it?

Maybe it wasn't then but it sure is now!  Referring back to my OP I did pose the question:  Is this the start of a cult?

[Alfred R Jones]

I wasn't aware you did but in the interest of harmony I have edited it.

Thank you.

Do you mean an online cult?  Does such an entity exist?

[stephen25000]

I think it depends very much on the amount of evidence there is to hand ... and at the moment the weight and content of the comments on the GFM pages is illuminating when considering cult like behaviour.

Brought to mind by the portrait with the rays emanating from the head ~ am I correct in remembering under the banner of "Go get Em Goncalo" ... an Amaral head superimposed on a bulldog body with a spikey collar ~ or has it all become too much for me?

Then if you don't get it.

Spend a little time on 'stop the myths', 'just another thought.....' and the few others of the same ilk, reading the open to public posts.

Then you will know what a cult is.

mcann supporters would love if the internet   didnt  exist

Not just their supporters. I feel the McCanns would be much happier, too

I think it does but you might have the spelling slightly wrong

I don't think the McCanns give a toss about a small number of nutters on the net....you give yourself too much importance

We are getting dangerously close to Off Topic and Insulting.

So what you are saying basically is,  those who believe the McCann's are in a cult,  those who believe Amaral are not a cult?

Are you saying people who support Amaral belong to a cult ?

If there are any correlation historically from the '60s to now between cults and private jets and donations from billionaires Mr Amaral would score 0/10.

Going way, way, back to the old 3As, when a character claiming to be Amaral joined the board, I do recall the poster redsquare (thought to be Nigel Moore, although I don't know if that was proved) using a genuflecting smilie to greet him, which would tend to fit with the definition ...
