I think it's fair to describe him as a 'man's man' as Jane Tanner put it. Kate acknowledged he could be abrupt, and doesn't make romantic gestures.

The group appeared boisterous but good natured with Gerry being the central figure. His gregarious character making him appear to be the central figure in the group and almost holding court.
http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/JEREMY_BRIGET.htm

Let me tell you something about Gerry. His honesty
and openness make him very direct, often to the
point of bluntness, and he’s not a touchy-feely guy.
Like many men, he assumes I take his feelings as
read and doesn’t see any need to express them with
soft-soaping, flowers or cards.
Kate McCann's book.

I mean Gerry, the sort of person Gerry is, I could never see us being best buddies because he’s very, we’re very different. I think he’s very err he’s quite forthright and so I don’t think we’d ever be best friends but there’s no problem there or anything like that you know, I feel bad saying that because it makes it sound like there is a problem but there’s not but you know it’s not, whereas Kate I was really, I was getting to know Kate quite well but yeah I think Gerry is sort of like more of a man’s man maybe.”
Jane Tanner's rogatory interview.


Initially I thought that Gerry McCann was a bit harsh, but as we got to know each other he revealed himself to be very nice and fun [-loving].

So another direct quote showing Gerry to be well liked and respected

If there was anything in the  McCanns lives before PdL which put them in a bad light - newspaper journalists would have winkled it out years ago.    They would have paid a fortune for a juicy story to spread across their front page.   The best they could do IMO is that when Kate was a student at Uni - she behaved like  - guess what? -  a student!  - Wow!

However, in 9 years no-one has come  forward to say anything even remotely critical of the McCanns.   All the people who actually  know them - be it neighbours, friends, work colleagues etc etc  have nothing but good things to say about them.   

The photographs/videos in particular show what a great life Madeleine had - some would say 'privileged' compared to many other children.      Of course this isn't what some sceptics want to believe - and so claim all piccies are photoshopped.     Such is the level of their desperation to believe the McCanns are nasty evil parents instead of what is quite obvious to any reasonably intelligent person  -   i.e. that they were  loving parents living a happy normal life with their adored children  - before Pdl.       

 
The notion that innocence prevails over guilt – when there is no evidence to the contrary – is what separates civilization from barbarism.    Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us.    Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one.

Wrong again Benice.

However, you can keep trying.

Adoring , loving parents, do not put their children in needless jeopardy, putting socializing above the welfare of those said children.

You've completely missed the point.

If I'm wrong - then point out the parts of my post that I've got wrong about their lives before PDL.   

It doesn't matter  how much you want to pretend it doesn't happen   -  thousands upon thousands of other parents have left their children asleep in their apartments while they went to dinner - any number of whom could have been abducted in the absence of those parents.    Are you saying that is proof that none of them were loving parents who adored their children?  Don't be silly.

You have made a statement, now provide the cites, and display how many of these people left their children in unlocked accomodation.

Asking for impossible Cites is a bit pointless.

Well, perhaps they shouldn't make the claims as facts, and instead just state it is their opinion.

I think we know that what Benice said is true.  Certainly in large numbers.

No we don't.

...and what about the numbers of people who have never done or would do what the mccanns did ?

I am sick to the teeth of those giving excuses for the inexcusable.

Maybe you should take your own advice and do the same.

IMO you have no intentions of entering into any discussion.    Your answer to anything said on here that you don't like but can't counter or disprove -  is to immediately slag off and sneer at the McCanns and anyone else who doesn't hold your views on them - and that is the sum total  of your contribution to a debate imo.

Most adults left that immature behaviour in the playground where it belongs. 

Why would anyone join a discussion forum and then do everything in their power to avoid any civilised discussion/debate.

That makes no sense to me.

IMO you are merely here to defend the mccanns.

... and no more than that.

Likewise , you 'slag off' those who question the mccanns actions, which clearly are reprehensible.

Don't bother saying that is a personal attack, when you in your previous post attacked me.

Very blatant, and extremely childish of you. IMO of course.
