Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[Alice Purjorick]

If I had made this comment to a judge then your comment may have some relevance...as I didn't...it doesn't

The point was the "smilies"  ie I am laughing at you like the judge laughed at Michael for being so daft as to pretend you are conversant with the contents of a book and its veracity without having read it.

[Mr Gray]

Thank you for removing my post Eleanor- wow you are fast with the none brown nosers- not biased at all. Davel has no evidence that 'people like me' get forums closed down. Losing it huh... Mwahahahahahahahaha

You allow his insults but ignore others!!

Now now children who may be watching....

never said people like you get forums closed down...but as I did say...I wonder how amazon are going to cope with comments such as the ones made in your post.. I think it's a very interesting point...I certainly would not like to see comments closed..

The proverbial bottom line remains.

Rehashed old 'stories'.

Mr. Spotty strikes again.

The patent truth  cannot be hidden forever.

Madeleine hasn't been found or is likely to, unless someone confesses to the crime.

So the charade goes on, with poor attempts in pinning the blame on a mythical abductor(s), until the inevitable happens.

The case is is closed, with the blame being put on the P.J.

I am afraid you are beyond laughter with your vain attempts to score points against me...have you learnt nothing from your previous incarnations...certainly no enlightenment for you...I am pretty conversant with the contents of many books without having read them...my son laughs that he gained a grade A at eng lit without having read the book...what would the judge say

[stephen25000]

I agree there's nothing new..in fact I predicted it whereas you had to read the book first to understand...unless of course you are making that comment without having read the book...what would Judge Alice say about that...

I thought being an author was a paid profession and that's why books are written...or are you suggesting all those wealthy authors are  a figment of my imagination

Authors such as:

Lord Jeffrey Archer.

Derek Acorah.

Katie Price.

et al.

Better still Stephen could you list authors who had books published but did not expect to make a substantial amount of money

Fair point.

I'm sure you can provide some examples.

[Mr Gray]

no because although you criticise the authors of this book for being commercial...that's what most authors are.
Just remembered a book by Steve somebody, called faked abduction...that made b....r all

So you agree.

This book adds nothing new to the case.

It is  a case of two people cashing in on Madeleine's name to make money.

Not really - you tried to make out that if Summers hadn't contacted the McCanns then that showed him up as being a crap researcher, and that if the McCanns had refused him an interview that that didn't cover them in glory either.  In actual fact, as we now know Summers had a meeting with the McCanns during which they explained that they didn't want to contribute to a book that may cause problems with the PJ or the current investigation which is a perfectly reasonable decision.  Not to you, of course, you can probably still think of some spurious reason to criticise Summers and / or Swan for it.

I said Summers hadn't interviewed the McCanns and I was right.

Anyway not to worry Alfred it seems Mr Summers book is not the roaring success both you and he expected it to be. There's far too much information on the internet about this case for the public to be fooled by his badly researched twaddle and it seems that they are voting with their wallets on this one.

[Mr Gray]

So you agree.

This book adds nothing new to the case.

I said before the book was released it would add nothing new...remember...

Your statement re cashing in is a rather biased view...as usual....Amaral did the same...all the papers have done the same...simply responding to the market..if people want to read it they will make money...if they don't..they won't

I think similar things were said about Kates book before it became a best seller

Funnily it was never said about Amaral's book because that was always going to be a sure fire best-seller !

[Mr Gray]

Not in the Uk ...but certainly a best seller in parts of europe.....the irony is that the books success looks to have bought him only misfortune

So what.

I and other people said exactly the same.

So what's your point ?
