Thank you both.

Hi, M&A answered my question to that in post 88. If you look at recent comments down the right hand side you will find some of the regulars and the thread they are posting on at present. I was confused too.

McGuckin In McCann Peril: Foreign Crimes In Foreign Climes

I’m lost! Where is the Maddie thread please? Don’t tell me Clarrie has hushed us up?

Okay, thanks. I found the most of the other posters on another thread.

M&A

Where is everyone. It seems only a few posts in the last 5 hours. That is strange…no??

***********************

Not so strange Ciara, we have parted company with some of the posters who specialised in filling column inches with midless chatter and sexual innuendo.
We have a number of different threads running both here and in the forum and the posters are pretty evenly spread over those threads. there are some serious commentators here now, rather than just a social gathering.

Sadly, she did, twelve months ago.

‘Just the tip of the iceberg them two…..’

Yes, I think you are right.

Up until now the gameplan has been to blame everyone in sight.

Now the libel lawyers have stepped in the blame game has become extremely expensive…

Mr R. Kipling.

The bloke what wrote exceedingly good books

‘Admittedly it had no points of similarity whatsoever to Madeleine’s disappearance, but it gave the parents, and the twenty year old, an opportunity to express their support for the McCanns…’

there’s really no similarity though, it’s just a garnering of sympathy then, i think.

“We are also families asking with children to think if something similar may have happened to them.”

It is just so sloppy. But an apparently sloppy use of language can turn out to be a very precise use of language revealing unfocussed thinking

Something similar to what? If they are referring to an alleged abduction do they really think an entry in Gerry’s blog will bring forward information that had previously been kept quiet?

Oh, somebody abducted my five year old last year, but I didn’t like to mention it before?

Be fair!

Some people lead very busy lives!

And there has already been a result; surely you can’t have overlooked the heartwarming story about a baby who was kidnapped for five days twenty years ago?

Admittedly it had no points of similarity whatsoever to Madeleine’s disappearance, but it gave the parents, and the twenty year old, an opportunity to express their support for the McCanns…
