why are people who suspect the mccanns attacked?

[jassi]

Well why not; everything on here is only an opinion, after all and has no basis in fact.

I'm all for a light handed  moderation, particularly when it comes to dealing with off-topic posts.

[Angelo222]

Well, let's put that to the test shall we?  In my opinion some of the "sceptics" that post on this forum are fanatical.

Now, if this forum is being fairly moderated then that comment should be allowed to stand.

I have moderated the initial post and yours accordingly to something less provocative.  See, I can be helpful if you ask nicely!

[Jean-Pierre]

I reported what was in the National Press brietta.

Try keeping to the facts.

I note the Express pages are still there today with the comments.

You are certainly in error if you believe 'normal readers' can't see through the mccanns.

A bunch of orchestrated comments from Haverns site are not "normal readers".

     Goodness gracious me !!! ( that's let some of the steam off and saves me from a reprimand for using the expletive I would like to use)

                            When have I ever pretended to be something I am not???

How the hell would we know? On a completely anonymous forum where there is no means of testing anyone's claims, that comment must rank as one of the doziest ever.
However some posters must be expert at somethings so bluff, bluster ridicule and bullshit not withstanding never the forget the old saw: "To you he may appear an expert to Joe Bloggs he may appear an expert but to an expert he is no expert".

I did ask this question on the forum several times before, over the last few days but thanks for finally addressing it.

Incidentally, I'm not sure how much LESS provocative the OP is now thanks to your helpful intervention asit now says:

Well I shant include accusations of being a paedophile for just not believing the mccanns story as they come from some fanatical mccann supporters, one or two are on here

So some of us are fanatical supporters who accuse sceptics of being paedophiles now are we?!

[Lace]

That reply engenders the true hypocrisy that most mccann supporters like yourself are well practiced in.

You do not criticize the mccanns for their abject neglect and danger they placed their children in.

Instead you merely attack those , including myself who don't believe in the abduction scenario.

Your tactics are both boring and repetitive, but nothing new.

Try to com

prehend that people do not believe the mccanns version of the events and never will.

I do not agree with the McCann's for leaving the children.     The McCann's have openly said that they thought it was safe and that the regret what they did.    They have been interviewed by Social Services and the twins were allowed to stay with them.   It is something they will have to live with for the rest of their lives.

It doesn't mean that people have the right to attack and abuse the McCann's every time they are in the news for what ever they are doing.

Why are people choosing the bike ride for Charity to post a load of spite?

Do you agree with the posts Stephen?

The fact that the McCann's have not been charged with anything and that SY say they are not suspects or persons of interest tells me that they should not have to put up with this sort of harassment for that is what it is.

Some have expressed the view that the Needham's are not telling the truth [I totally disagree]  but do you see spite written in the scale the McCann's get every time Kerry is in the news?

Errm, you think? £4%4%

I think you're mistaken about that underlined bit, G-Unit. LOL

He always points out that statistics have no relevance to an individual case.

Does he? Where? He wouldn't accept that point on here as I recall.

[Carana]

Does he? Where? He wouldn't accept that point on here as I recall.

Hand on heart, however, I can't search his posts (aside from half a dozen irrelevant ones). When I find some, I'll post them.

[slartibartfast]

Why anyone should object to well informed, intelligent posters with an excellent knowledge of relevant facts posting here is a mystery to me.

The response by some posters seems to be to goad them until they retaliate - and then report them.  Or the poster gets fed up with the sneering goads and leaves.

Either way it's a loss to the forum IMO.

Not really, his bluff was called and he flounced.

You mean like the members of 'stop the myths' , 'david bret is god'. etc., whose posts appear from the ether on here ?

Abusive posters appear on both sides of the fence an d if you had checked, I condemn them as I'm sure you do.

and what of the mccann supporters on twitter and certain sites who abuse others ad nauseum ?

That David Bret place is a bit scary...

It belongs in the Twilight Zone or somewhere 'equivalent'.
