The most offensive part of this "Christmas greeting" is not the f..ing or the b...... or the s..m but The "your brat" and "Cursed Christmas"

All of it is offensive, Erngath, but I find the foul language the least of it.  What kind of mindset is it that allows a person to take time out to write the sentiment ... "I curse you and your family to suffer forever." ... and address it to a family who have no idea where their daughter is or if she is alive or dead.

The card with its Christmas snowman on the front and its poisonous sentiment inside was dropped into a box marked "Nasty" ... I cannot imagine what it must be like to require such a box to file and categorise my mail ... I cannot imagine the type of person who makes one necessary.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

You seem to be in strawman territory again. The card wasn't written by a sceptic on this forum yet you seem to be supporting Alfie in using it as an excuse to attack them.

Lump everyone who disbelieves the McCanns together. It makes it so much easier to make it look like a campaign.

I don't read that into it.

When it comes to the various hate mail that Madeleine's parents received I am rather reluctant to see it as being the actions of one particular 'side' and therefore expect that sought of behavior from them all. These people who feel the need to impose themselves on a family's grief and misery do so for selfish reasons and in the hope that what they send will in some way destroy their resolve. These people have always existed and always will. They have latched onto this case to make it about them, how they feel, how they are offended and angry that the McCanns have according to them, escaped justice.

But these people are a minority I believe, and certainly do not in my mind represent all of those people who have a differing theory as to what happened that night back in May 2007. 

Anyone who has followed the case from the early days will know as well as anyone just how twisted certain people became and behaved regardless of their beliefs. The only thing they had in common was how they chose to manifest this which was always abusive and making it very personal beyond merely debate on the internet.

Have you read some of the material directed at Amaral, on the Mccann supporter forums, and twitter ?

Very much so, which is why I have always said, on this thread too that this is certainly not a one way street. As yet though, I have not seen any clear and specific threats of harm to Snr Amaral anywhere close to those that have been directed at Madeleine's family, including the twins.

Then I suggest you read around.

My money is on that card having been written by someone with above average intelligence, trying to appear oikish.

Reading it again, I think you're onto something.

LOL, is Alice owning up to writing the card?  "Above average intelligence trying to appear oikish" sums him up to a tee.

You can rule me out.  Not intelligent enough to write the card.

I am slowly doing so each evening, catching up on different things and the internet personalities doing the rounds. When it comes to the case of Madeleine, the amount of data online is vast

Do you see things from both sides?
