The 'Find Madeleine Campaign' Helpful or Harmful?

[Mr Gray]

So you made it up ? Why....and the ‘it would have been common sense’ doesn’t wash as the McCanns didn’t put donations in their own account either ?

I am really sorry if iI somehow embarrassed you.  It was not my intention.  I think that you are a kind person.  Sorry about that.

What an odd post... For someone who thinks the mccanns chucked Maddie in a bin... I find that quite  cruel

Yes I made it up.  Please continue to berate me and remind me of my evil actions at every opportunity for at least the next 10 years, thanks. 

In reality I made a mistake but I doubt that’s forgiveable as far as you’re concerned. 

It wasn’t a mistake...it was a calculated attempt to make the McCanns look better by pulling April’s mum into your argument. Noted that you didn’t think the honest facts were enough to absolve them.

Who mentioned April Jones fund first?  Oh, that would be you.  Why?  To make the McCanns look worse.  I actually thought YOU had written that they (the Jones) initially banked the money, but I was wrong.  Keep on beating me up though if it makes you feel like the better person.

This continual back and forth between Faithlilly and you needs to stop. Your comments were noted.

It appears to be sniping at each other to me.  So as a moderator here I'm asking for the interchange of comments to become more civilised.
"Moderation
John has instructed all moderators to take a very strong line with posters who constantly breach the rules of this forum.  This sniping, goading, name calling and other various forms of disruption will cease."

I'm finding it disruptive and not constructive to the management of the forum.

[Vertigo Swirl]

It does.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But people are entitled to express their opinions however unpalatable they might be to some so long as they do not break the laws of the land and/or the forum rules on the homepage. 

The internet obviously gives everyone with access to it a platform to express their opinions.  Before this,in the main, it was restricted to face to face or 1 to 1 via the phone.   Likewise the internet enabled the McCanns to launch 'The Find Madeleine Campaign' something unavailable to the Needhams and other such families. 

Would it not be better if you just pointed out the Maddie in the bin theory has no substance to it eg the bins were searched and the GNR tracker dogs did not trace any scent beyond the immediate vicinity.  This  suggests to me MM was either taken to a nearby building and subsequently moved or she was placed in a car within the immediate vicinity and driven away.  I tend to think the latter.

So just for clarification- is it now ok on this forum to express the belief that the McCanns had a hand in Madeleine’s disappearance and to discuss in detail how this may have been carried out?  And that this will not incur punishment for breaking forum rules?

Suggesting the mccanns chucked maddies body in the bin is libellous... Therefore against the laws if the land and against forum rules ..We, are, all entitled to our opinions but you should realise not if that results in libel

It was the inclusion of such comments as "Keep on beating me up though if it makes you feel like the better person." and the reply "It does" that was the type of comment I'm finding against the spirit of John's ruling. 

Of course you can continue discussing your opinions on the topic of the thread's OP.

Theories and opinion have always been permitted. Anything which might constitute a libel is not.
