Is a 'fence-sitter' not the same as a 'not sure'?
I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.
I gather the facts, examine the clues... and before   you know it, the case is solved!"

Or maybe not -

you would have to define what "not sure " means...do you mean 50/50....or if I say I'm 99.99% certain does that mean I'm not sure

On that basis I see myself as a supporter of the Mccanns....but also of madeleine of course. I'm surprised this is an anonymous poll

I made it clear earlier on that if I had 40 votes to cast then around 2 would be for McCann involvement and 38 would be against.

This does not make me pro-McCann.

Technically, it does not make me a fence-sitter, though that is how I voted.

Perhaps unsure would have been a better choice.  Who knows if we'll ever get more solid info to help clarify this.
What's up, old man?

None of us are really sure, we only think we are.

I am inclined to agree with that - having followed this case for some years, and on the basis of the available evidence, I cannot see the McCanns having been involved in the disappearance of Madeleine. 

If new evidence were to come to light I may change my stance in the light of that evidence - that is logical.  But as things stand - Madeleine and her parents were very unlucky to fall foul of abductor(s) unknown.

It is the unknown element which renders this case so intriguing.

I was sceptical in the beginning but since studying the facts I am even more convinced.  The parents actions following Maddie's disappearance were not consistent with the abduction story imo.

In reality a fence sitter does not believe the McCanns and is therefore a sceptic

It's interesting that IMO their actions are totally consistent with abduction
