A Good, Bad or Average Theory What's The Difference?

[Holly Goodhead]

I would suggest that striking up conversations with complete strangers who had previously demonstrated no interest in the case is slightly more obsessive than joining in an already established online conversation on the matter.  I think your behaviour is odd, and as you have no problem with Amaral publicly criticizing and blaming others, nor should you have a problem when you are the subject of such criticism- imo.

Well since 'the complete strangers' were enthusiastic participants in the conversation I started I think I'll take my social cues from them rather than likes of yourself who did not witness subtleties such as body language, eye contact, tone of voice etc. 

I think your behavior here in the main leaves a lot to be desired eg referring to other posters as obsessed/odd.  GA publicly criticizing others has nothing to do with members here treating others with respect.  If we allowed members to go around accusing other members of being obsessive and odd posting would descend into name calling. 

It seems to me you want to be divisive and sow discord because you have formed the view you can do so and get away with it.   

[Holly Goodhead]

And yet here you are telling us that some Portuguese woman you met in a changing room says that crime in Portugal against children is virtually unheard of.  Laughable!

Did I say it was an accurate barometer of anything?  I simply recounted a conversation. 

What point are you attempting to make by adding a one word sentence, laughable, at the end of your post?

some would love  censorship on  here and for us so  called anti mcanns   to not  talk   about the mccans  flaws and  plot  holes in their  stories

The Portuguese woman said crime against children in Portugal was virtually unheard of.  I did bring up the case of JC which she was vaguely aware of.  Neither mentioned the dog alerts or any particular reason why they thought the parents involved they just seemed to have formed this opinion.

Portugal is ranked among the three countries with the highest rate of infant deaths from ill treatment: 90% of abused children have been victims of domestic violence, which can have serious consequences on the physical and mental development of children.

Many children from Brazil, Eastern Europe and Africa are sent to Portugal. They are used in the hotel industry, for domestic work and prostitution. These children typically suffer ill treatment and sexual abuse.

The McCanns belief/ theory is that their child was abducted.

Amaral's theory is that Madeleine's parents covered up their child's death, disposed of her body and have lied to the world.

His theory is libellous, imo, and the propogation of that theory was for the sole purpose of gaining monetary reward.

So it's all about opinion. You think Amaral's theory is libellous and he was in it for the money.

I accept the findings of the Portuguese courts who found Amaral innocent of wrong-doing. Books don't always make money, by the way. Ask Summers and Swan.

Because you believe that the woman you met in a changing room was “intelligent and sensible” does that mean we must take her views (as reported by you) seriously?  Laugahble again!

You seem so upset that a Potuguese M&S employee that I struck up a conversation with about MM believes the parents were responsible.

Responsible for what ?
Covering up their child's death, disposing  of her body and lying to the media and the police?

I’m simply speaking my mind and telling it how I see it.  Striking up conversation about Madeleine McCann with a complete stranger in a M&S changing room 12 years after the child disappeared is strange behaviour to say the least IMO.  It would be like me going to M&S in York and asking the changing room attendant out of the blue what she though about the Claudia Lawrence case.  If I were the attendant I’d be thinking “oi, oi, we have a bit of a nutter on our hands here”.  If you don’t wish to be judged don’t tell us this weird stuff!

What point do you think I’m making?  That it’s laughable of course.

IMO the whole of Portugal believes the McCanns are responsible, and that is largely thanks to Amaral’s propaganda campaign.  Why would I be upset about one alleged Portuguese M&S changing room attendant?  Laughable!

Your post is very vague... Responsible for what... Neglect..
Her claim that crime against children in Portugal is almost unheard of is clearly laughable

Yeh Holly, vague. The forum demands you go back and ask her to clarify that statement immediately.
Then remonstrate with this imbecile regarding her preposterous stance on child victims of crime while you're at it.

[jassi]

'Laughable' is obviously the word behind yesterday's carefully aligned door on this year's McCann advent calendar.

I wonder what word we'll see tomorrow ?
