Those who agree with the trial verdict but continue to debate on forums

[Holly Goodhead]

For those who firmly believe JB guilty as charged why bother?

Some appear to get defensive and say words to the effect 'it's up to me how I spend my time'.  Or bizzarely they will say something like 'I'm just correcting what supporters spout'.

It takes all sorts I guess.  All the cases I've posted on here I either consider to be MOJ's: JB and Rettendon murders or the cases are unsolved: MM, murder of Jill Dando.

I couldn't be bothered to post on the Vincent Tabak thread as I believe him to be guilty as charged.

So can I ask what motivates those who firmly believe JB guilty as charged to continue posting.

My thoughts exactly I was just thinking the same when I saw ISWMBE post-JB will be in prison till he dies.

So why spend endless days/hours on here - what is their point when as far as they are concerned he got what he deserved.

There must be more to it IMO

A combination of the crime occurring close to where I live, the adoption issue and seeing my own childhood being played out, knowing several who were close to June and Nevill, or who knew Julie's family, and others involved in solving the crime.

I suspect some have doubts in a dark recess somewhere.  Others might be playing Devil's advocate or even carrying out research for a book.

While there are still things to debate - why not? Why does there have to be 'more to it'? Sorry, hang on, I've got a Zoo session about to start with Essex Police and the relatives ------ Opps

I can understand people debating on forums even if they agree with the jury's verdict.

I have no doubt that Myra Hindley was guilty, but , as a case study, she fascinates me, particularly her relationship with Ian Brady. I was never on a forum talking about her (don't even know if there were any), but I certainly read all manner of articles about her, and have also read quite a lot from her prison files at the National Archives.

All the while there are people on the internet promulgating daft conspiracy theories there will people keen to point out how daft they are, whether it’s Jeremy Bamber is Innocent, Maddie’s Parents Dumped Her Body In A Bin, The Earth Is Only 6000 Years Old, The Jews Invented The Holocaust, The Moon Landings Were Faked, etc.

That's my reason. The question has been asked so many times and it's almost like they are pleading for us to go away. While there is an opposite view, the is always the opportunity for debate and I think the innocent side should embrace it, instead of agreeing with each other and frankly getting nowhere.

Do you think supporters don't generally like debating on forums?  Just asking as a matter of interest.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I'm inclined to think, in the main, supporters prefer the company of each other and perhaps gravitate towards detractor-free spaces, which saves the need to explain themselves.................i was going to say that I don't think they're as solidly together as detractors. But I had second thoughts.........

If I was to start a thread to defend Myra Hindley as a misunderstood victim of Ian Brady’s who was coerced against her will to take part in the most heinous crimes against children and then proceeded to spend months and years on this forum posting my theories and defence of her, would you silently respect my views and allow me to continue unchallenged?  Or would you find such behaviour quite morally reprehensible and feel obliged to speak up to say so?
