I certainly get the sense of a very frustrated individual.  Maybe one of those Incel types?

I have plans to exterminate all the Chads & Staceys.

Thought so.

I think the media is now well trained to focus on their innocence, their suffering, their bravery and their devoutness as well as publicising any rumour whatsover that suggests that someone else committed a crime. Quite useful for them imo.

Ah, the McCanns are pulling the media's strings, I get you.   Bloody brilliant these McCanns.

Their power is ... ehm ... unbelievable

I did start a thread  quite some time ago which was possibly not worded as precisely as I intended.
The gist of the thread was what keeps the sceptics/doubters so convinced in their doubts/scepticism for so many years.

I think the media got the message long ago, with the help of Carter Ruck.

Right, so the McCanns control the media in a way that not even politicians and royalty are able to - such AMAZING power!

We don't work to a script.

Supporters all believe in the same thing.  The Innocence of The McCanns.

Sceptics don't know what they believe in.

Never thought you were  working to a script.
But what keeps you in such a committed conviction that Madeleines parents are involved in her disappearance in spite of so many years of varied police investigations?

[Erngath]

i wont  sugarcoat it i  think maddie is dead  but on the  other hand if she is somehow alive and one day  discovers who she is she has no obligation to get in contact with her birth parents  imo i doubt she remembers them she owes the  mccans nothing imo

However if you do watch the various programmes about adults who are seeking their birth mother who abandoned them as babies most do want to know their birth lineage and if they have siblings.
And perhaps that might outweigh your perception that " she owes them nothing".....

Carter Ruck are libel lawyers and if the McCanns had so desired they could have sued many many many more publications who had printed the most terrible lies about them than they did.

Exactly what is it that you object to about the McCanns taking steps to stop being traduced by the gutter press?

There is no logical answer to that.

When the case was archived by the Portuguese in 2008 there wasn't enough evidence for them to decide what happened on 3rd May 2007. I've seen no evidence which changes that, so imo the situation remains as it was in 2008.

I don't have a commited conviction to the involvement of the parents, if you can find one in any of my previous posts good luck with that.Smitman is the key always has been imo.
