Madeleine McCann: McCanns Outrage Or Fury
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann…
Hacks are sifting through the Portuguese police’s files.
And reporters are divided: are the McCanns outraged or furious?
McCanns outraged over unseen e-fits
Outrage. Outrage. Outrage. Outrage.
Fury over book on the McCanns by disgraced police detective
OUR DESPAIR OUR FURY OUR FUTURE
McCann’s fury at the Portuguese as they are finally cleared
Madeleine McCann: Kate and Gerry’s’ fury at ‘club’ devoted to …
Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury. Fury.
Disgrace in Holland:
The couple’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “If it was Madeleine, it was a disgrace that it was not passed on. We need to know what happened with this.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann: Gerry and Kate learn of Amsterdam sighting - Kate and Gerry McCann have uncovered agonising details about a sighting of a young girl who called herself Maddy and said she had been taken from her mother while on holiday.
Anna Maria Stam, 41, was working in a shop which sold balloons and fancy dress at the beginning of May last year – before she heard the news about Madeleine.
She saw a Portuguese looking man and woman with a French accent walk in with a boy aged six and an eight-year-old girl.
Watching the seemingly happy group, she spotted another little girl, aged about three with shoulder length brown hair, standing nearby.
Her witness statement said: “The little girl stood before me and asked me in English: ‘Do you know where my Mummy is?’
“I answered that her mother was a little bit further back in the shop and she answered: ‘She is not my Mummy.’
“I asked her who the woman was, and she said: ‘She is a stranger, she took me from my Mummy.’ I noticed the little girl spoke good English without an accent.
“Next I asked the little girl what her name was and she said: ‘My name is Maggie.’
“When I repeated it, the little girl said, ‘No, my name is Maddy’. I still remember that because I thought it was a rare name which you didn’t often hear.
“I then asked her where she had last seen her mother and she answered: ‘They took me from my holiday.’”
The little girl then left with the woman. When Miss Stam saw Madeleine’s picture on the internet, she said: “We thought it was very much like the little girl except the colour of the hair.”
Shock - the spotter did NOT tell the papers.
Much more to follow…

I have no intention of taking sides and maybe you should learn not to rise to the bait.
If someone upsets you, ignore the person. There are other posters you can talk to
and when the atmosphere changes, everyone is affected and it spoils the “debate”,
I use that word lightly of course LOL

Thank you, Bounty Hunter.
Let’s get back to the debate.

Ah are we going into the spelling debate? Excellent. We can have some fun then.
The point is: yes I can spell (and I note that the fine Paul Sorene and AGW sometimes slip too) , but why am I being pursued, by a moderator? I am happy to answer the posts that are directed at me, but when I post, a mods post is levelled at me at the first pass, it is difficult to get past that, don’t you think, in terms of being free to post?
Have I broken the rules? If so, please advise. And also on the etiquette in general as far as what a moderator’s post at the end of one’s own means. I am unsure whther it is open for debate or whether, in replying, I am going to have the good AGW breathing his fire.

I strongly object to your claim that I am pursuing you.
You are not my type.

Not the 1st time I’ve seen it!
I was the brunt before!!!
August 7th, 2008 at 12:13 am
Oh go on you childish prat.
Can’t you behave like an adult and stop your whining and discuss the papers for instance? Grow up!
August 7th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Oh no Val it’s not the first time.
He’s been going on like that for months now.
Started right after my first posts. A quite abusive post about my name.
M&A should be able to check that.

I have been insulted and belittled for months by said gang, so much so that i stopped posting for months.
she seems to lie in wait for me, and she makes racial slurs, coming from her its quite funny actually, because she is pure boer, i am English.
it is rue that i am a farmer, but we consider that quite an assett, as i am sure Uk farmers do as well ie a landowner of a rather large game farm. jealousy is just nasty.
and i have a lovely gracious slim trim talented wife with slim ankles too.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:06 am
I’m really getting sick and tired of that BH. It’s the second night in a row he shows up and starts abusing a poster [me as usual]. He’s never able to discuss the issues or posts. If he’s really a he [which I somehow doubt] he’s the meanest ‘nicht’ of the whole wide world.
Artemis where are your arrows?
——-
The arrows have been dispatched; you don’t see everything which happens here and BH has accepted that he was wrong to do what he did.
I would prefer to get back to the points of substance which we were distracted from.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:05 am
For what it’s worth I think the (childish immature) post should stay for all to see!!!

delete my last comment please.
i have had many abusive, very, very from Totje over the last year. she and Yampster start insulting me every time i get here, so i did a bit of payback.

I do appreciate that you felt justified but it is unacceptable to use such language about your fellow posters.
I’ll delete the post, and then we can get back to matters of substance.

Must say this is the first time I have seen you in this kind of mood and wonder
if it is the REAL you!!!!!!!! What”s wrong?
August 7th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I hate these people who mince words, if you have something to say, just say it.

I did explain give personal views; they were not libellous; there are many, many that do this on a daily basis but yet I am still being persued by you.
M&A
Artemis
I am not ‘persuing’ you.
Not least because I can spell.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Now, now boys and girls - play nicely.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I give up!
I’m just glad that I never come across people like some here in ”real” life!
It’s also sad that so many others allow it to carry on & say nothing. Perhaps they enjoy it?
Must be me that’s weird.
Goodnight.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
fuck off cow mooo moo moo, wearing only one eye patch, i think you have been wearing a blindfold for the last 18 months, but perhaps you are a paid poster.
you have bullied off a lot of posters with your idiotic sly little digs, your poor husband must be so boered with you.

Artemis
Personal attacks on other posters simply suggest that you have no points of substance to make.
And insulting fellow posters is uncceptable.
Please desist immediately.

Interesting.. put up or shut up..? ‘Evidence’?
There are many posters on this board who kindly donate their opinions without, as you say, evidence. I think they might start their sentences with ‘ I think’. or similar.
I made my case clear; it was a personal view. I think that is allowed..
——–
M&A
Artemis
Personal views are not ‘allowed’.
The use of the word implies we have some sort of right to dictate what is or is not acceptable. Our boundaries are within the libel law of England and Wales; that is what moderation is about.
Personal views are what debate is all about.
I was simply pointing out that you had not provided any evidence to support your personal view.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Bounty
I didn’t think you were talking about me (well, not since your wife apologised to me on your behalf because of the rude comments you had made to me & assured me that it would never happen again)
What is wrong for people to sit on the fence / have an opposing view?
Why should they be insulted?
I have said on many occasion (especially when being forced to state my position) that i think this case looks dodgy etc. BUT I like everyone else don’t know what really happened…..yet!

‘RETIRED TITS ‘
I’ll have you know they’re still in full working order!
