The Tapas Bookings

[Alfie]

I have never tried to pretend, like some on here, my posts are for a higher moral purpose whilst simultaneously likening other posters to terrorist sympathisers, paedophiles or to insinuate that by saying anything not in adoration of the McCanns one is somehow lacking in social graces and/or intelligence.
The latter is manifestly incorrect and any one who promulgates such a theory deserves to be booed and hissed off the stage for putting forward such stupid propositions.

Who here has argued that adoration of the McCanns is a prerequisite of anyone with intelligence and social graces?  What utter rot!

Allegedly they didn't reckon much to the Millenium evening meals. I wonder how they would have coped if they hadn't thought much of the Tapas meals, either.

I believe it is known as "casing the joint".  A practice which criminals carry out to enable their nefarious activities.

Perhaps if 'the joint' was a bank or commercial property if could see the point or perhaps observing an apartment for a couple of hours to make sure the apartment was empty but any other 'observing' makes no sense.

You got a very short memory bo.

                    Madeleine's disappearance "makes no sense" ... yet she did vanish.

I'm sure Madeleine's disappearance made perfect sense to someone - we just don't have that information.

[Brietta]

From my perspective many of my posts are to try to make people think beyond the "call centre list" pinned up in front of them.  Don't ever think I don't care about what happened to the child. That would be pretty dumb thing to do I have to say.
In my case I don't recall any traducing or opprobrium in my posts.
The worst I have said is they gambled and lost but the sad truth is after 48 hours MM was likely dead.

Would that all posters had your high standards (and that is not irony, you are not abusive).  There is a fifty fifty chance Madeleine is dead but equally there is a fifty fifty chance Madeleine is alive ... and she is at least worth that amount of consideration.

However in my opinion there has been a gradual general 'dumbing down' of the forum with some pretty puerile posting.  Do our guests visit to get information or to watch us imploding? and who would that suit?

                     Are you sitting down Jassie?  I think we may be in agreement  &%+((£

I suspect a large number of the guests are from some of the less than desirable sites.
But the dumbing down is insoluble.
As I have said before if I posted "Euler-Bernoulli Theory" is to do with beams some supporter would post it isn't simply because it cannot be seen to be agreeing with someone considered to be a sceptic. Hey ho says Rowley.

[Alfie]

So that's your opinion.

Mmm.

Actually that seems to be YOUR opinion judging from your  previous posts.

[Alfie]

Really?  Find me a post where anyone claims those that don't adore the McCanns are stupid or graceless to prove your point then

Are we playing semantic word  games or principle of comment old stick ?

[Brietta]

Without access to the full story and accurate translations of the files in my opinion your analysis is based on incomplete and inaccurate information.
It can only be as reliable as the reliability of your source which in my opinion is fatally flawed.

I think you will find that criticism of a group of people making a block booking at a tapas restaurant whether implied or direct but almost entirely negative will probably not satisfy your curiosity.

It certainly will go nowhere in casting any light on what happened to Madeleine McCann ... which I presume is the event to which you refer ... and not either the booking of nor the authorisation for a group of nine to eat at the tapas restaurant.

Tue semantic word games are all yours.  As far as I'm aware no one here adores the McCanns, unless you have evidence to the contrary?

The tabloid articles that you insist on posting likewise cast no light on what happened to Madeleine and are almost always based on incomplete and inaccurate information but still you persist in posting them.

Can you see the hypocrisy here ?
