Imo it's all a storm in a teacup. Some people get accused of supporting a rapist and paedophile and others get accused of wanting Madeleine to have been abducted, abused and murdered. It all seems like the normal repartee enacted on here to me. I think everyone should just move on.
Hang on, it's not the same. Some people on this forum DO support a rapist and paedophile. They certainly have sympathy for his current plight and believe his human rights have been violated, a courtesy the same people have never exteneded to the McCanns. It is not acceptable however IMO to accuse people of lacking a moral compass because they accept the police's line of investigation. That is a personal attack which is not permitted on this forum, but now according to you it's "normal repartee". Right, so is it therefore acceptable for me to tell you that you lack a moral compass for any moral misjudgements I perceive you to have committed? No, you'd accuse me of "abusing" you, right?
PS: at last, the thread is back on topic!
