Does Goncalo Amaral have a cult following?

[Eleanor]

Rubbish.

Ask yourselves why there are no Pro McCann's on the Amazon forum Stephen and don't give me they haven't got the brains to debate.

I gave up on Amazon yonks ago.  It was all too vile and stupid for me.

I just don't understand why they sympathise with Amaral.

He decided the McCann's were guilty,    he couldn't wait to write his book as to him he was right and no one was going to tell him otherwise.    He wrote his book whilst still a Police Officer abusing his position.    His book was full of innuendoes accusing the McCann's from everything from being swingers to drugging their children.

Of course the McCann's were going to try and stop the sale of his book,  wouldn't you?

Then when at the end the judge finds that he is indeed guilty and awards the McCann's,  people take pity on him.

I bet if you asked random people who have donated to his fund why they donated the answer would be 'for justice for Madeleine,   we know the McCann's are guilty,   the dogs,  the freezer,  the blood spatter,   the whooshing curtains,  the door,   the Gaspar statements'   etc. etc.  ALL of which SY have read and investigated ALL of which the SY have dismissed as they say the McCann's are NOT suspects or persons of interest.  ALL of which are still being tweeted on twitter and people are believing it.

He was a policeman appointed to coordinate the investigation into a missing child. Based on the facts at his disposal after discounting theories which didn't fit he selected from the remaining the most likely as the theory to run with. Before reaching a point at which charges could be pressed or another theory adopted he was replaced. He documented his experience of the case.

For some reason rather than ignore it and the book fading into obscurity, he became a target to be destroyed.

NO.

The real reason is that their arguments are pulled apart and they can't bear posting where they have no backup from mods.

All Moderators on this Forum have a right to express opinions, which ever side we favour.  And it seems very evenly balanced as far as I can see.
And when it comes to Moderating there is No Bias from anyone.

From what I have read in the past the mods were only needed for a few anti McCann's on there,  one in particular.

Just had a look Stephen,   no debate going on there at all,   22 hours since last post from you,  calling this forum lala land.   Abuse Stephen all the time.

Provided we the punters hit the "report to moderator" button; yeah I know that's what it's there for

This seems appropriate.

He selected HIS theory.    He was replaced because he slagged off the British Police.    That didn't stop him though did it,  he was determined his theory wouldn't be ignored,  so he wrote a book about it.     How can you ignore a book that says you are a liar and that you drugged and hid the body of your child?    Would you have ignored it if you were the McCann's?

[sadie]

The mccanns had no trouble though leaving their children at the creche with people they didn't know.

So the excuse for not using a babysitter doesn't stand up.

A woman of your intellect stephen.

Comparing two entirely different situations as tho they were the same?



A creche has people, staff and parents, wandering in at any time .... difficult to get up to anything nasty there, don't you think?  These creches were sited very much close to other people, staff and guests, all the time. 

A flat, on the other hand, has no casual visitors.  No one to see what was going on.

Also there were at least two members of staff within each of the creches, and child minding places.




Would YOU leave YOUR children with a solitary comparative stranger?

I wouldn't.

[Lace]

This seems appropriate.

Fear what they may say?   He thought he was right that is the problem,   he couldn't see that he could be wrong.

[stephen25000]

In your mind only Stephen.

No lace.

it's the lack of spherical objects and the inability to back up arguments with coherence and logic.

Not quite lace.

I was referring to the mccann cultists.

As you are more than well aware.

You can't even get the gender right sadie.

What does that say of your investigative skills ?

It certainly seems a problem for some

Please do not underestimate the job the mods do on this forum of providing a level playing field and allowing all points of view a fair hearing until you have experienced posting in the equivalent of a jungle where those who pay lip service to freedom of speech are on a mission to ensure no viewpoint but their own is allowed.

The intolerance apparent on Amazon is highly indicative of cult behaviour where none but the true believers are considered 'worthy' ... having experienced it elsewhere it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that it has become a vehicle to dictate how people should think, and if that is not to the liking of the powers that be, it just will not be tolerated.
