Harmed or not harmed ...that is the question

[Mr Gray]

My opinion is that if members object to a particular sobriquet ... it is merely good manners to to observe and act on that objection.

it is not just that it is the claim that forum rules are being applied fairly

I have avoided issuing sanctons tonight so far but my patience is limited.  The name calling will cease forthwith.

as you have asked for help then I will oblige..
why is it acceptable for miss taken to refer to me as a McCann lover but not acceptable for me to refer to her as a McCann h a t e r

Didn't realise it wasn't.  I haven't built up a complete (or near complete) dictionary of the terms automatically edited out by the forum software.

Technically, aren't both terms in breach of rules?  'Sceptic' as a description strikes me as ad hom, but is bandied about freely.

So if one gets confined to the cutting room floor, surely the other should too?

I don't see why you should object to sceptic....just as supporter is acceptable

I see the phrase that has caused all this trouble has now been removed. If mods would do their job properly and remove offensive posts when asked the forum would run a lot smoother

Personally, I like 'believer' and 'non-believer' as that leaves room for the agnostics as well

I think it is important to read the statement made by Madeleine's father in context.

The belief that Madeleine had not left apartment 5A had been heavily promoted ... we have been told that it is still the perception of many in Portugal nine years later that she died there.

There is no evidence to that effect as the released files made clear.

In my opinion Dr McCann used 'harm' as opposed to 'deceased'.

**Snip
Gerry McCann today reaffirmed his belief that official Portuguese police files showed there was 'absolutely no evidence' his missing daughter Madeleine had been seriously harmed.

He also said his family 'strongly believed'  that the little girl was alive and could still be found.

His comments follow  the release of thousands of documents from the massive dossier of evidence assembled by detectives over more than 14 months.

as far as I am aware sceptic is acceptable...perhaps admin could help you out with some advice

"there is no evidence to suggest that she has been harmed, in any way whatsoever"

Thank you for this Peggs.

Bring the thread back...This was my issue: no harm being abducted vs harm by book.

Supporter and sceptic will do nicely.

The book did not harm the search.

[ferryman]

for the record I have already posted on this thread that simply by being abducted Maddie has come to harm. The McCanns comments are being taken out of context  ...it is a s simple as that.

Yep.

[stephen25000]

Yep.

Yet there is nae evidence to show abduction.

Starting with no evidence of a break in.
