Personally I think it takes a sick mind to come up with the idea that Gerry transported his dead daughter back to England in his hand luggage as if he were a bush meat smuggler, but that’s just me.

Is that a slur on bush meat smugglers?

[Brietta]

I was just trying to work out exactly what was meant by the use of that word. It sounded a lot like a slur to me, but perhaps I misunderstood.

Is it really possible to slur two individuals who are spending hours slurring the parents of a missing child while ensuring that her siblings are drawn into their mix of slurs.

Did either of these women achieve anything other than massaging their egos ~ encouraging the prejudices of their target audience ~ or exploiting a missing child to enhance their bank balances.

What I watched was disagreeable and sick making abuse of children.  Did you watch any or all it?

It was recommended to us.  It would have been hypocritical to join a conversation about it without at least making the effort to watch it.
Does it not dismay you even slightly that the twins became subjects for scrutiny.  It certainly does me.

It wasn’t recommended, simply posted to let members know that it existed.

I didn’t watch it myself as, knowing the protagonists, I knew exactly what the content would be. I’m sure others did too but still watched. Isn’t that the very definition of masochism?

I don't know if that particular slur was repeated last night by these two cheer leaders for every slur in the book aimed at the McCanns but that accusation as detailed by VS ranks I believe as one of the sickest slurs it is possible to use.

All encouraged by Amaral who used the slur in an interview very recently.

Devotion to the cause. Would one expect anything less from zealots ?

I must have missed that interview. You obviously follow Amaral’s utterings much, much more closely than me. Do you have a cite?

As I recall it was one of Pat Brown's theories

That’s definitely a slur.  Mods!!!

You seem to be leaning towards the sick in mind definition. I just read up about bushmeat smuggling; I had no idea! The smugglers seem to get a lot of it through too, it's not just small amounts for personal use.

There is money to be made on YouTube.  I think it takes a particular zeal to disingenuously post links promoting such.

Probably just part of the learning curve to disregard such information in the future.

Do you have any idea of the levels of support that would be required to make anything on YouTube?

Any reports of them smuggling dead children through customs in their hand luggage?

I do indeed think it's possible to insult and attempt to damage the reputation of others by calling them 'sick', yes. As far as I know there's no evidence that those people are suffering from any illnesses of mind or body.

I also see no evidence of them "massaging their egos ~ encouraging the prejudices of their target audience ~ or exploiting a missing child to enhance their bank balances."

In my opinion it's all your opinion, which could and should have been made clear.

It was but I’ve never heard Amaral claim it. Perhaps Brietta wil furnish us with a cite?

Obviously it was Brietta's opinion, no need for her to say so IMO.
