Steady on, Neil the barrister.
Looks like Hartley's hit a nerve. 
They are under strict instructions to pretend this forum doesn't exist, cut down on the silly facaebook-type gossip, keep as civil as poss, and DO NOT UPSET SIMON MCKAY. It is not a forum. It is a closed shop. And it makes Bamber look even more guilty! 
Yes it does. I was only there very briefly, but when I find myself wading through posts about stolen, missing pictures...pictures of hard drives...stories about meeting informants in Glasgow...slagging off moderators...accusing people of running sock accounts...I start to wonder where the focus is.
It's a shame: I actually really did want to find out more about the case, and some of the posters over there seem like very nice, intelligent people regardless of their opinion on Bamber's guilt or innocence. Unfortunately, the voices of reason seem to be drowned out by the silliness.
The very sad fact is, after a couple of weeks on a forum proclaiming his innocence, I've come away feeling that he's more than likely guilty because I find it very hard to take anything that I read on there as factual information. If some of the information is based on fantasy, then I have to take the rest of it with a grain of salt too, I'm afraid.
Anyway, it's all a bit of a moot point I suppose.
