Establishing the identity of an abducted child by DNA.

[Miss Taken Identity]

Why do you keep on asking the most stupid questions imaginable?

I have made a statement in yet another of my lengthy posts and the very best you can come up with is "Hardly comparable"before sliding off at a tangent which is aimed at discussing nothing.

It suggests to me that either you are an airhead totally incapable of interesting debate or you or you are determined to disrupt every thread on the forum with meaningless drivel and ad hominems.

From observation I would say the latter.

You don't think this is insulting elle? seriously? wow I thnk it should be removed.

If Madeleine is found there is little doubt that a DNA test will be necessary to establish that without doubt.

May I include my own ad hominem here ... from what I have seen of your posts you are as dissimilar to every and any educationalist of my experience as is chalk from cheese.
Not only do you fail to impart knowledge you appear to be incapable of assimilating it ... people of intellect usually absorb knowledge like a sponge; for me, you appear to be the exception to the rule.

Oh dear.

What a predictable attack.

This from the person who said I had gave a link to an edited version of BHH in a BBC audio interview.

The same person who copies and pastes material they don't understand.

As to my ability to absorb information,  I have no problems in that whatsoever. However, unfortunately for you, that doesn't include pro-mccann propaganda.

Nil points brietta.

Difficult, don't you agree, since everybody is at it.  I seriously do try not to wipe the entire Board.  Unless you think I should.

I think you should show even handedness and impartiality. Brietta is a known troll for name calling people who do not believe 'lies'.  she has a posted quite  few insulting, derogatory remarks against posters who disagree with her.  I ask they be swiped OR mine be put back!

Sound fair?

Perhaps now would be the time to enter the discussion on the value of DNA when it comes to missing or abducted children ... I take it you would have no objection to such tests were possible remains to be found in the Algarve ... what is your opinion should a possible living candidate turn up.
Run a beady eye over documents of questionable provenance ... or a quick non invasive DNA test?

I don't want a direct answer to my question ... try making your point in discussion, that is after all what the forum is about - being able to express an opinion whatever it may be for reasonable discussion.
Not a question and answer session.

You are every bit as bad, or not, depending on how anyone looks at it.

But why do you all think that it was only your post that was deleted?  This is not the case.  And I am far less likely to delete posts than some.  We all have to use our own judgement.  Mine tends to lean towards ridiculous fairness.

But if you think that I am not even handed then take it up with Admin.  But then you probably already have.

If every post containing an insult sneer put down ad hominem etc were wiped on sight posters might get the picture and start to behave like the adults they purport to be; or get p****d off that no one's noticing their histrionics and go elsewhere.
Why not give it whirl and see what happens ?

Who said I have any objection to D.N.A. tests ?

As to finding a living Madeleine, I have already on several occasions said why I do not believe it will happen.

Can you say the same on the 'accidental death' or 'walking out of the apartment' theories ?

I am taking it up with you because you encouraged me to do so.  Brietta is a constant troller and goader who replies to posts with personal attacts.

Now if you take the stance that My posts which respond to her- and challenge her- are worth deleting,then surley you must with the same 'thinking' and being even handed an all, delete hers.

 Why won't you?

I cannot wonder why you would think I went to discuss you with Admin? I don 't do sneaky behind back stuff.

 I am an adult.

I do on very rare occasions.  But I am normally pretty quick off the mark, so each and every individual thinks it is only them.

However, it does work, if only briefly.  But I don't want anyone to piss off.  Not much of a Board if they all did.

I already know your opinion on other matters.  You reiterate them often enough.  However on a thread about identity - abducted children - DNA ... you appear to have an aversion to discussing that subject.

There is a bigger picture than total obsession with Madeleine McCann.  It has already been said here, but how would Ben Needham be identified so many years down the line without such testing ... and I believe that a few adults have presented themselves for elimination purposes ... so identity is obviously important to them too.

How refreshing it would be if just for once we could run a thread where McCann bashing was conspicuous by its absence.

why don't we all behave like adults and stop the ad hominem attacks...anyone care to agree to try

Yes Indeed!

Why not do just that! be brave and swipe ALL of the personal attacts and not just pick and chose which ones.

I would swipe the lot regardless of which side of the debate they are at!  But then... I have nothing to lose!

[jassi]

An excellent idea, though difficult for some to maintain for long.  ( response to Davel)

I have already explained why I think the accident scenario could not have happenned and it seems SY have discarded the woke and wandered and taken abduction as the most likely
