"Start by asking yourself what is a sceptic and work on from there"

[barrier]

Who decided it's limited wholly and solely to the McCann's?

[barrier]

Is there such a thing as a sceptic?
Is there a definition?

Why are sceptics sceptics?

What are their points of distinction?

If you consider yourself a sceptic would you like to explain the reasons why?

Robs opening gambit,no mention of constraints.

Well it's a bit stupid if it isn't... We are, all sceptics or supporters of somethings so what do you think posters here mean by sceptics and supporters

Exactly. A nonsense thread then discussing a word which can be applied to anyone. If you want to discuss 'McCann sceptics' to the exclusion of all other sceptics you can, but it isn't the thread topic.

I think most realised what Rob meant... Otherwise it would have no relevance to the forum

So from now on when posters talk of supporters you think they need to qualify that with McCann supporters... In case others think they are talking about football

The thread is on the McCann board.

Some time ago it was discussed and decided there would be posters who could be referred to as 'supporters' and it was decided there would be others who would be referred to as 'sceptics'.

For me the compromise came out of a puerile discussion which pandered to the lowest common denominator, but in my opinion long standing members particularly those who contributed to the discussion are aware of the nomenclature ... and if they are not ... they haven't been paying attention.

Therefore when a thread on the McCann board uses either term in my opinion it is logical to make particular assumptions.

Well it was a quote from someone's post on another thread.  I must trace its origin for it wasn't my original phrase but I liked it . "Start by asking yourself what is a sceptic and work on from there"  Who wrote that first?

Found it: http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=9940.msg480118#msg480118  Blame Vertigo Swirl for not defining the word "sceptic".

The word sceptic has been used extensively on the forum... How come some posters have only just, realised what it means

[Miss Taken Identity]

Well, being someone who does not claim to have a thesis, or knows what happened because I once went to Portugal on holiday. I am happy to state that I am an unbeliever of anything the Tapas -in particular K&G  claims happened they way it happened.

 Does this make me a bad person- hell no, but reading what 'supporters' say you would think It was I who was the cause of MBM's childcare arrangements and MY fault she 'disappeared'.

The responsibility for MBM's disappearance is purely down to the parents. Supporters can shout loud, and make all sorts of silly claims but facts are facts!

Being sceptics of the PJ, the PDL community, the country, the judicial system- shows the Tapas up as the people they are.


They were the first sceptics and their behaviour created more  against them lol

Brietta defined the terms perfectly as relates to this forum.  http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=9990.msg480332#msg480332  Wonderful clarity.

I don't know what you mean by inaccurate dog alerts, but Grime's honesty, integrity, professional reputation and  career prospects are closely related to the performance of his dogs and his interpretation of it in my opinion.

John Stalker was sceptical of the McCanns and their friends. Did he believe they made something up or faked some evidence?

I didn’t say inaccurate dog alerts and you didn’t answer my question for the second time of asking, why should you presume to ask me further questions instead?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Assumed by whom... Don't think that's true at all

Assumed by McCann sceptics obviously.

LOL, yeah blame me, fancy not making it clear I wasn’t talking about climate change sceptics.

John Stalker believes Madeleine was abducted.
