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

There's nothing wrong with being sceptical. Sceptics are less likely to be fooled by scammers, PR people, advertisers or self-interested politicians.

On forums discussing the McCann case it has been given a different meaning. It's used as a criticism of those who don't believe without question every word uttered by the McCann couple.

I have no problem agreeing that I'm a sceptical person, but I have no intention of accepting a label with an entirely different meaning dreamed up by posters on the internet.

Well put it this way G-unit I don't mind you being sceptical, but I don't like people who tell lies about me and those who don't answer the question being discussed.  Are they traits of a sceptic?

Again you misunderstand... I'm a sceptical person... That's why I question the alerts.... In question everything... Look at all the evidence... And I believe  the McCann's, are telling the truth

Shouldn't that be I find the McCanns are telling the truth.  Become a gnostic.

No it shouldn't... I'm a sceptical person... I question everything....but having weighed up all the evidence I'm sure the McCann's are innocent

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that intelligent people accept everything the McCanns say WITHOUT QUESTION?  Out of imterest do you ever read what we write and think “actually. they’ve got a point” or is everything we write completely ignorant and deluded as far as you’re concerned...?

Are you talking about G-unit or all sceptics who post on here Robittybob1. That wasn't a nice post IMO whoever you were talking about.

Well see if you can answer this one.  What does Martin Grime say about the two times Eddie barks while in the dining room at the Villa?

I honestly don't know what he says but surely he should have said something.

And additionally do you think I have said Martin Grime faked alerts?

It wasn't nice because I feel hurt by G-unit's accusations against me, and then her never responding to my correction of what she says  (I feel as if I'm being libelled and then ignored, so I'm hurt.)

Sorry I don't know what G-Unit has said so I can't really comment.  We all appreciate you Robittybob1 (well I do).

Put up a question to debate I won't hide away.  Tell me off if you have to and I'll consider your criticism, but I won't tell lies about anyone (I might in error, point it out, but I promise to correct if that was the case).

I hope I can say the same for myself. Sometimes I have to shoot off after making a post and silly me I feel guilty as by the time I am back from work the post was lost within pages and pages of stuff.

I don't know how others cope with that but I have set up a link to "Show posts" and so I can go back to the last post I wrote on each thread.
Go to your own profile, and click on show posts, and make that link one of your Favourites.

Thanks for that Robittybob1.   I have found what you mean on my profile page.

Now I can find my posts and read any replies I have (or subsequent posts at least if mine has gone un noticed)  8((()*/

I had no intention of hurting your feelings Rob and I apologise if I upset you.

I neither know nor care what Grime said, so why would I answer your question? I thought I had made it quite clear that I have no interest in discussing the dog alert videos. You said the PJ faked alerts.

I now say without doubt the PJ faked alerts
