But you wouldn't make comments about Martin Grime the other day.  So you have a full understanding IYO but won't tell us what you know, is that it?

I repeat, I do understand the evidence imo. If you want to know which evidence, it's the evidence which Davel says I don't understand. I expect he's got a list.

The same rules should apply here.  It is all very well having an opinion but if your opinion is beyond the facts known to the public, I feel we have a duty to bring it to the forum's attention.

What do you mean Robittybob1.  Or do you mean that if I said my opinion was that Madeleine was taken by a tall man in a white van with a busted windscreen that would be beyond the known facts so I would need to be brought to the forums attention?

If so that is nothing like I was meaning in my last post to be honest.

Opinions should be clearly marked as opinions and facts should always have a cite to show it is a fact not an opinion. 


Members are reminded that cites must be provided in accordance with the forum rules. On several occasions recently cites have been requested but never provided. Asking for a cite is not goading but compliance.

From this moment onward, posts making significant claims which are not backed up by a cite will be removed.

Yes you would be pulled up for that.  Well yes I may not have understood your post but that was what I was meaning. 
In a NZ case I identified a person with involvement in the case when he kept making hints he knew more than what was in the police file.
The only reason I knew what was in the police file was that earlier I was able to tell this girl knew more about the case than was in the books about it, and I emailed her and she told me she had a pirated copy of the file.  One forum member led me to the other.

With that experience I was conscious it is possible a person or persons involved in the McCann case could come onto the forums to discuss the case.

Ah now I understand your point. To me if someone joined a forum and started doing that then I wouldn't report them to the forum owner I would go direct to the relevant police department though.

Thanks for clarifying that Robittybob1  8((()*/

I don't think it made any difference in the end, but I have to pat myself on the back now and then.

It’s not a new rule. Aggressive posting causes problems, don’t do it.

No it made it instantly clear to me. You have a well deserved pat on the back there Robittybob1.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.

Do you think persons involved in the McCann case would venture onto the forum to get a sense of how close the police might be at catching them?
As an afterthought this could be like Judas being one of Jesus' disciples.

No I don't Rob.  We don't know what is happening with the police investigations so what difference would it make.

Well as I said it did happen once before in NZ, and it was what Lori was worried about when she reported Robert Murat to the PJ, the possible involvement in the investigation of someone possibly responsible for the abduction of Madeleine.  The police obviously think it is possible to get that feed back loop going.

I know what you mean Rob and of course that was why Ian Huntley who is convicted of murdering Holly and Jessica was helpful to the police IMO.  I don't know if you have seen his television interview before he was caught but it is creepy and I actually thought so at the time.

With this many years down the line and no coverage of the actual police investigation going on I can't see the point in the perpetrator joining a forum unless he is looking on there for another reason, gloating etc.

Also of course there are so many fora on the McCann case to chose from. When I started looking for a forum to chose I found at least 6 dedicated ones and regular threads within others too.

I chose here because it seemed a nice mix of supporters and sceptics. Sometimes it is not so nice of course
