Dammit she’s found us. Everybody over to last year’s 17th July thread, quickly!
January 3rd, 2009 at 1:56 am
Is this an old thread? Are the old posters back? Have you all been hiding on threads I don’t know about??????
January 3rd, 2009 at 1:41 am
It’s good to see a poster spending some time composing a reasoned response to a thread. I can’t do it myself

as long as it doesnt hurt madeleine or her family it sounds great maybeitll be the best plea and work as far as gettn her home goes

I would have thought that it would not be possible, or moral or even desirable, to make a film about the Madeleine McCann case for several very good reasons. Firstly, there has been no conclusion, she has not been found, dead or alive, the parents are still Arguidos and the whole things is just a mess of politics, spin and speculation, what possible sort of film could you make ??

Evening.
Which thread are we supposed to be on?
I’ve got this nagging feeling that Sledge is right and that the McCanns’ arguido status is about to be lifted. But if that happened:
1. Will the PJ’s reputation ever recover?
2. Will Anorak be subject to legal attack?
Off to the other thread now, as CSN would say:

It always causes fights!
But its not really religion but the fight for territory which is the root of trouble, religion is used as an excuse.

moving the goalposts ?
i complained over a week ago about people not keeping to subject being discussed and was told there is no policy to keep to subject…
and now -
Mods and Admin
Could you enlighten me as to how this relates to Madeleine McCann? Has it any bearing whatsoever?
hmmm !!!

It was a play on words…’failed’ repeated….personally I think it out of order for apparently practicing Catholics to have used IVF.
Of course, as the most disbelieving dibeliever in the world, I think all religion is only intended to inject control - and IVF is perfectly acceptable as a technique for enabling people who may not produce their own eggs, for example (
) to reporduce ‘themselves’.
I just think that it is an interesting display of integrity to their beliefs.
January 31st, 2008 at 7:06 pm
oh dear
no news so you all start fighting amongst yourselves
again
how very sad

Im suprised you recall her name, as you appear far more focussed on protecting her failed parents.
Failed to conceive naturally
Failed to get her to 4 years old
In need of your support? Why?
Mods and Admin
Failed to conceive naturally? how unkind.
My views on the McCanns as parents are pretty legion, they failed their children miserably, but what has the ability to conceive naturally to do with it?
January 31st, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Sally… you spelt my name wrong…. never mind eh!!
Now about the missing child……. Madeleine mcCann I think her name is…….

What I posted was fact after checking both websites for Amazon in the US and UK, then I wrote the truth which is that her books are not selling, only by private sellers and I should have said they are selling for pennies, but I didn’t. The truth hurts sometimes, so I didn’t mention the prices. Delete this if you want, won’t hurt me. Only the truth. FACT.
Mods and Admin
Could you enlighten me as to how this relates to Madeleine McCann? Has it any bearing whatsoever?
Cooland Calm professional success is nothing to do with Anorak, or you or Madeleine, her public Opinion has as much weight as yours.
No one is plastering all YOUR details over the site, are they?
And actually you may not have, but NOW you just did (selling for pennies)

re:45 Ian and 44 Ian
Are you saying my own post was abusive?
January 31st, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Mods and Admin
Regarding coolandcalm.
She has been completely open regarding her identity many times, so I dont think that anyone can be accused of abuse in that direction.
Mods and Admin
I agree we are all aware of who she is, but we cannot allow other people or ourselves to reveal details of a poster.
Also insulting a person professionally is a bit beyond the pale, if someone doesn’t like AN Others books, fine, don’t buy them, but as it was as result of a disagreement on another matter, its irrelevant at least and abusive at best.

I make no apologies to you, in view of your apparent glee that the failure of the parents may remain unpunished and due to the fact that it was a critique regarding your chosen profession. I was referring to your apparently limited imaginative capabilities.
As a writer I would have expected you to have been able to come up with plenty of theories to support your view that Madeleine was abducted.
You have yet to present any. Nothing personal in it at all.
January 31st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Sorry, but I though most everyone here knows how to access a website if a person has a website. Makes me wonder if she’s ashamed of something on her website. Hmmmm.

I did not call you any names. I guess I could have, but I didn’t. Maybe I should cry to the Mod and Adm regarding you.

Mods and Admin
No you didn’t call her names, but telling people how to access her website is a bit off and an invasion of privacy
January 31st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Sally… sticks and stones my dear! No problem.
January 31st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Ok c&c is gone now, let’s look at another youtube:

Mods and Admin.
My privacy was done months ago but thanks anyway. I just hate misinformation. Especially personal misinformation to insult!
were there other posts then? I see the ones she had already posted are still there……….
——————-
Mods and Admin
Some were ok to leave, but 2 were not, and yes I remember the chaos months ago
January 31st, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Guess I didn’t bother with it much, typed in Amazon.co.uk as you suggested, anyway, I clicked on the website you provided and to be honest, iy looks like bargain day on your books.
January 31st, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I’m off to the other link now… you’ll have to find me there.
May… I was only saying that it is all rumour. Until the PJ state their case we all know nothing other than they left their children at risk. That’s it really.
I noticed you didn’t get personal so thank you!
January 31st, 2008 at 5:03 pm
check your spelling!! Though again, I can’t see the connection to Madeleine?
Mods and Admin
I’ve unapproved 2 posts from Sally , and edited out the link you put in as superfluous now.
As you say there is NO connection to Madeleine, and there is no need to expose your privacy either
