We have people that monitor the internet.

The mccanns have already admitted there are people on the net acting on their behalf.

"The mccanns have already admitted there are people on the net acting on their behalf."

Stephen - could you remind me of where this appears and the context?

The first witness of the session is Michael Wright, an administrator, whose wife is Kate McCann's cousin. He has known Kate since she was ten years of age and Gerald McCann since 2001. They used to have regular contact.

ID - Did the McCanns learn about these forums? How?
MW They learned through me, the family members who monitored the activity and their support group.

Kate Healy - The reactions were less negative than in Portugal, due to the newspapers in England who were sued for defamatory articles, those articles weren't based on evidence. We have people that monitor the internet and there are groups of people, like the 'Madeleine Foundation' who have caused us great distress by publishing Mr. Amaral's theories on the internet, which has compounded to our vilification.

Are you posting that as evidence for the claim that Stephen made about "'posters' on the net, acting on behalf of the mccanns" (sic)?

If so you really are being very silly.

Are you not aware that the two verbs "monitor" and "post" have different meanings?

I have absolutely no doubt that they only monitor & never, ever, post a single thing.

I also believe in father christmas, fairies at the bottom of the garden & that Madeleine McCann was abducted.

[pegasus]

Would it be naive to imagine that the relevant lawyers are not already looking at the "right to be forgotten" ruling?

[Mr Gray]

Stephen has read one thing and understood it to mean something else...as has been said...monitoring and posting are two completely different things

[pegasus]

A warning from the bench?
"... There are other forums and chatrooms which are totally a free-for-all, and I'm afraid they are a real cesspit of speculation innuendo and downright defamation. Our lawyers are aware of that, I'm aware of it, and there are ways and means of dealing with that too, so if we need to, we will ..."

BTW "bench" was my attempt at a double-entendre

[stephen25000]

The sheer absurdity that some people 'think' there aren't people acting on behalf of the mccanns on the net posting on certain sites is sublimely ridiculous.

As has been visible on here, the depths of illogic which some go to back them is simply staggering.

Also, mccann supporters, including at least one here openly has admitted to meeting them.

Enough said.

Good Morning, Stephen.

What exactly do you mean by, "Acting on behalf of The McCanns?"  I support The McCanns, but I don't act on behalf of them.

There is a Specific Support Group, who as far as I am aware, are supporting The McCanns for the same reasons that I do. Because we think that The McCanns are innocent, at least until proven guilty.

There might be family members in the support group, and why should there not be?  Should they in some way be barred from commenting or reading in the same way that you and I do?

Good morning Eleanor.

I have no problems if people wish to support the mccanns.

What I don't believe is when people say there are not others posting on their behalf.

What does "Behalf" mean in your understanding?

There have been rumours abounding for seven years now that we are all getting paid to do this.  Personally, I do it for free.

Are Amaral supporters getting paid?  I shouldn't think so.  But some members of his family could be posting on his behalf.

I've heard the rumours to.

As you know rumours are difficult to prove.

and I agree it could well be possible Amaral's relations could post on his behalf.

All I can say to the rumours, Stephen, is that I would be a very wealthy woman if they were true.  And I wouldn't be sitting around posting on an Internet Forum for very much longer.

Watch this space.

You still haven't told me what you think "Behalf" is.

If you believe that Stephen -  then surely by the same token anyone could claim that there are people on the net who are obviously posting on behalf of the abductors and whose remit is to spend their time repeatedly trying to persuade the world to blame the McCanns - in order to deflect attention away from the monsters who took Madeleine.

Having read sites where the posters often discuss amongst themselves the various types of violence they would 'love' to inflict on the McCanns - then I think it would be very unwise NOT to monitor them.   IMO it is obvious there are some very nasty and seriously unhinged people out there.
