Feedback for any improvements of the Madeleine McCann board.

so how does your post re gollum fit in with that

That has nothing to do with the mcCanns and your view of them, but your attitude to the other members of this forum.  I think the General was making the same point.

i  think the issue is some posters think they are martyers  for the mccans and have to  defend them  and i will never understand   that

There you go again, you see.  This Post is insulting.

[G-Unit]

Ive had plenty of warnings...and insults..but Ive stood my ground

For the sake of balance I have to point out that you have a habit of insulting others.

Not really.  It is just Carli's opinion.

i  think its simple  if i dont like someone on this forum  i put them on ignore that includes     mods i think  if someone doesnt like someone else or what someone else posts they should do the mature thing  and put them  on ignore

i agree

[Brietta]

You will have to take that up with John.

I rarely Delete anything, as you will know if you follow Deleted and Modified Comments, and I don't Comment all that much either.

Brietta has recently been involved with moving house and has had intermittent Internet.  She will be back.

Both of us have been Moderating this Forum for a lot longer than you have and do have a better understanding of the dynamics, to which we both pay attention.

I have never Deleted a Comment simply because of an opinion that is averse to mine.  You may believe that or not, as you wish.  It happens to be a point of honour to me.

This the only McCann Forum which allows both opinions, and it is of importance to me that it should survive.

I'm around quite a bit, Eleanor, as is Slarti, although I am still very busy with 'real life'.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the importance of this forum.  I think it is unique in allowing non-sceptic posters to have an opinion and to express it in public.
I think in the main it is exactly that that causes the opprobrium. 
Whereas sceptic posters are somewhat spoiled for choice whatever social media one cares to visit.

Long may the ethos of this forum continue and John is to be congratulated in his vision in starting it and keeping it going.

in your opinion....the same applies to mny other posters here including you..perhaps it would be best to accept how wrong rob was then we can move on

[Eleanor]

Not really.  It is just Carli's opinion.

That I'm a Martyr, do you mean?  A Religious Zealot who would die for The McCanns?

However, mayhap Carly doesn't understand what the term means.

I think you might be right about what causes the opprobrium.  How dare I support two child neglecting parents when I did much the same myself.
One does not get that opportunity elsewhere.

Opinions can be insulting.

Do you have any supporters not on ignore?

Indeed.

On the other hand those who don't support the McCanns have also suffered opprobrium.
