Official Find Madeleine Campaign site on Facebook block non supporters!

[Mr Gray]

Are those figures worldwide presumably ?

and represent a drop in the ocean of humanity.

Now a fair test would the number of 'likes' and 'dislikes'. don't you agree ?

No
A fair test would be a proper survey with a correctly selected sample to represent all age ranges.... Social classes... Etc
No one could be bothered

[Brietta]

What percentage of the population do the DM comments represent then?  Do tell.

I know that a lot of newspapers had to disallow 'comments' pages whenever they were printing anything relating to Madeleine McCann because of the same toxic comments which forced the closure of Madeleine's twitter account.

Was that the case for the Daily Mail?

It raises the question for me of why it may be that red tops are allowing comments ... maybe someone collecting IP addresses with an eye to the present and the future?

The 'people that matter'

Another cliche.

These people have found diddly squat.

As you're not one of the people who matter, then you are in no position to know what is going on behind the scenes, nor do your views interest those who to do matter, but don't let that stop you spouting away ineffectually, as is your wont.

If you have inside knowledge which allows you to make that statement why not share?  Unless it is your usual deflection from the topic of the thread.

That people still see it as a terrific wheeze to post toxic comment on one site knowing it would subsequently appear on an account supporting Madeleine McCann and others at one time would have had me shaking my head in disbelief that any adult would indulge in such puerile and moronic behaviour.

What is the purpose behind it all?  Cui bono ... somebody must ... else why take such pleasure in actions for which they should really be hanging their heads in shame.

Cliche after cliche, after cliche.

However, Madeleine hasn't been found and the cause of her disappearance remains unknown.

Can you provide evidence that it isn't a possibility ?

I don't disagree that there are many, many members of the public, mostly mothers and mostly those who know nothing about the case, who feel great sympathy for the McCanns. The number who have a specific interest in the case and still support the McCanns are few as you can see by browsing their Facebook or forum groups.

Re: the sentence in bold, now don't be naughty - you know full well I can't.  We know that anything's possible, but as it's YOU making the accusation, it's up to you to provide the evidence that it's happening.  Over to you.

Are you of the opinion that only ignorant mothers support the McCanns, and that if only you could 'educate' them then they'd all be leaving the OFM in droves?  That's the impression I'm getting from your post above. 

Does the support of ignorant mothers count for nothing in your view?  The fact that there aren't thousands of McCann supporters all congregated in one place trying to solve the case or campaigning on their behalf suggests that most McCann support comes from normal people with their own lives to be getting on with.  And yes, I know what you're going to say....I'm not normal and I haven't got a life.

[Brietta]

'puerile and moronic behaviour.'

For that , look at the mccann supporter sites.

You continually make assertions which you are unable to substantiate.  Tiresome in the extreme.

There is no doubt that Madeleine McCann's twitter account had to be closed because of toxic comment trojan horsed from a friendly account into hers.

It takes a special kind of deviousness to come up with that one ... it takes a particular type to action it.

Madeleine's account was set up to publicise her and other missing children ... common decency should have made it off limits.

[G-Unit]

You're keen on figures - process this:

OFM Facebook page has 616,508 followers
Controversy, the largest Anti FB page has 23,976 followers

What conclusions can we draw from this?

There are ways to multiply followers? I think they gained a lot in 2011;

We are posting this again because our post from yesterday is further down in the comments. Welcome to those who came from unofficial pages. Because Madeleine is a child, Facebook made the suggestion to us to combine unofficial pages with our official page. This is to protect Madeleine from online abuse and her image being used without her parents permission. We have NOT harvested Email addresses nor gone on to individual pages and added people. There is no way for us to actually do that. Facebook did the merge of pages at our request. If you do not want to be a part of this page, please unlike the page (see image). We don't need to hear how you don't want to be a part of a lovely group of people who do care about getting Madeleine home. A huge thank you to those that continue to support us in our search for Madeleine. ~FM Webmaster

It was you who used the word ignorant Alfie. I merely pointed out that many of the 'likes' and comments obviously come from individuals who know little about the case beyond that a child is missing.

And thank you for admitting that the sharp rise in 'likes' could be as a result of their block purchase by the webmaster.

A fair sample (with some posts moderated)  ?

Mail comments section.

I haven't had a McCann Comment posted yet, on The Mail.  And No, I haven't ever been insulting.
Mostly I don't bother anymore.

Neither have I Eleanor, on that or any other matter.

and none were insulting or had abusive language.

Both sides watched it with interest.

Yes, and?  What has that got to do with my post which attempted to show how a large increase in likes of the OFM page following the programme was not hugely suspicious, as Faithlilly would have us believe?

Interesting that not one of those calls has led to the apprehension or arrest of anyone.

Yet.
