if Maddie ddied in an accident i see no reason not to feel compassionate towards her parents

Whatever happened to Madeleine it caused her parents to suffer, and they deserve sympathy for that. What they don't deserve any sympathy for is if they then embarked on a huge scam designed to paint themselves as innocent victims.

I agree but i think its more than stupid to think they did. theres no real evidence to support that so you are simply beleiving something taht is not supported by evidence

IF.

But there's no way to rule it out entirely, until the abductor is caught, & that still hasn't happened, so it's quite possible really.

Every other suspect does not have to be ruled out entirely...just the mccanns it seems...thats hypocrisy. Whatever happens to CB he wont be ruled out entirely.
remember the ciprianos  have not been shown to be 100% guilty...thats a fact

First prove there actually was an abduction, the police aren't having much luck with that, so, probably didn't happen then.

same old...same old...

if its proved Maddie was murdered by a paedophile which seems to be the case..then abduction is proved

IF.

Just no way to be sure, is there, so, probably best not to support the McCanns at all, just to be on the safe side.

To you maybe, not to the satisfaction of a court judge however, & nor will it ever be.

Not happy to presume the McCanns guilty, but quite happy to presume Brueckner or any other paedophile is though.

Bunch of hypocrites these McCann supporters.

It doesn't seem to be the case, a German prosecutor said so does not make it fact with out the proof to back it up, there is obviously an issue with what they have , hence no papers served. Canaan is prime suspect in the Lamplugh  case, how did that go, the CPS said no .

I read that he's receiving end of life care, no doubt the compassionate amongst us here will be wishing him well.

All anyone has at the moment is suspicion. CB's record isn't evidence that he harmed Madeleine and the McCanns lack of a record isn't evidence that they are blameless.

Don't know if you ever look at Websleuths, there's a couple of interesting threads there with snippets like he was questioned without being cautioned, that would put the kybosh on any charges .

My mistake. I assumed that only those who saw themselves as virtuous would constantly accuse others of lacking those virtues. So you're no more virtuous than anyone else, you just concentrate on pointing out what, in your opinion, others lack?

I said I don't make any claims to having any great virtues.  I'm not a saint but on the other hand I don't get my jollies by kicking people when they are down and suffering, which is what was happening online to the McCanns when I joined this bizarre 15 year old conversation.  I do find that sort of online pile on hard to fathom and it happens all the time, not just to the McCanns but it just so happens that it was this case which first opened my eyes to the "worst of the human psyche, electronically unleashed".  Why would you have a problem with me pointing out that the relentless deluge of nastiness directed at people who find themselves in the eye of a shit-storm is not very kind?  You have spent years criticising the McCanns decisions, what they have said and what they have done - does that mean that you consider yourself a more virtuous person than either of them?

But you don't know if they did that or not (and certainly in 15 years no one has been able to prove that they did), so the best course of action would be to give them the benefit of the doubt and treat them sympathetically, or if you can't do that then keep your opinions to yourself.
