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

[Angelo222]

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?

People can be a supporter and a sceptic, just depends on the subject.

[Mr Gray]

Earth being invaded by aliens is possible too.  Hardly helpful to the debate though is it?

I'm not interested in debating it... Just supporting rob in it being  a possibility... Glad you agree

[Mr Gray]

Shall I remind you what the subject is

Shall I remind you what the subject is

A better question might be, can one be a supporter and a sceptic at the same time?

of course

I know the dictionary definition of 'sceptic' and am happy to say I am a sceptical person. I'm not prepared to say I'm a 'McCann sceptic' however, as defined by their supporters. That's because of the assumptions they make about those they label 'sceptics'. It's used as a term of abuse throughout the forum in my opinion.

I have always said Madeleine was abducted - from outside the apartment.  Woke, wandered, abducted scenario.
I have never said Madeleine died in the apartment, but I have always maintained that there was another girl that died elsewhere and she was the source of the cadaver odour.

No one agrees with my theory, very few understand the complexity of my theory.

That would depend on the theory you operate to.

I think you are, totally mistaken... I don't see the label McCann sceptic as being a term of abuse... It merely means someone who does not believe the McCann's version of events

As of this moment there is still a missing child who disappeared in as yet unexplained circumstances, the McCann version of events is just that an untested version of events, whats to believe or disbelieve about that?

I could prove that it has been used as a term of abuse, but it seems to be against the forum riles. Anyone interested can type 'sceptic' into the search box and read the results for themselves. Most of the comments I read imply a lot more than the definition you have offered.

Then prove it..... On the whole I don't see it ss a term of abuse... Jassi has just referred to herself as a sceptic on another thread

I'm not allowed to prove it, but it's there in my opinion if you want to see it. Jassi, like me, is an individual. We have no connection with each other except, it seems, in the minds of others.
