UK police guilty of flawed tunnel vision in hunt for Maddie McCann

[Alfie]

If he posts on this forum he'll be expected to abide by the rules just as you are. 

It's a dumb rule if the Met can state categorically that Madeleine was abducted but we are not allowed to - IMO.

We can say according to SY Maddie was abducted

[Eleanor]

We can say according to SY Maddie was abducted

You can say, "According to SY."

[Alfie]

Or even The Met have stated it's a fact that Madeleine was abducted.

Or even The Met have stated it's a fact that Madeleine was abducted.

This might be a bit debatable.

This might be a bit debatable.

As G-Unit has pointed out, Rowley was unequivocal about it - "However she left that apartment, Madeleine was abducted" - but let's debate it by all means.

Rowley doesn't know. Just expressing his view.

Tell me Alfie, why are you do desperate to spout 'abduction' ?

The use of the word spout is goading

[Brietta]

What did the new coordinator achieve ?

I believe one of the very first tasks it was necessary for him to undertake was to have his team put the uncoordinated information left behind in some disorder by the previous coordinator into some sort of order.

1) I'm not desperate
2) I'm not spouting abduction

You keep mentioning abduction Alf, so it seems to preoccupy you.

So Alf, without abduction, where does that leave the Mccanns. ?

[Brietta]

This is becoming a matter of semantics.

What constitutes proof in this regard Eleanor ?

At the risk of sounding childish ... you started the semantics.

I am at ease with providing a caveat when mentioning the "A" word and there is really little wrong with proper identification of what requires a cite and what is opinion when posting.

Basically I think it is a good idea as far as the forum is concerned if we tighten up on protocols which have really always been in existence although imo largely ignored.

It would be really good if members would cooperate voluntarily with an initiative suggested from the membership then there would be no necessity for monitors to delete or modify offending posts.

You seem to have forgotten Brietta, there is no proof an abduction took place.

I know you'd be happy if all other theories are ignored, but that isn't going to happen.


Likewise, and I've asked this of McCann supporters many times, if there was no abduction as I believe as do others, where does that leave the Mccanns. ?

Not that I expect an answer.
