I think all advertising for holidays to Portugal should be banned. How can anyone trust a country whose police has handled this case in such a messy way? I would defiantly not be taking my family there again. I also think that rich personalities like Sir Cliff Richard who lives there should uproot and move to a country that would spend the tax that he pays on his vineyards etc. On a better police force.

I have also decided that because I have now got the hump with Sir Cliff Richard, I will try and sell all the records that I have him and send any money that I receive to Madeleine's fund. If I can't sell them I know just the place for them on the 5th November!

Totter I have tried to stay out of this one, but i had to come in and congratulate you on your 5 star staying power. You are right, there is a clique on this News forum. Not all AB forums are like this. This clique have already decided that the parents murdered Madeleine McCann. Some because they have not seen the parents shed any tears. Apparently that is not normal!! Some say the McCanns started the fund so that they can jet around the world enjoying their celebrity status. Some are even saying that all the ridiculous theories leaked to the press or made up by the press are evidence. And for Gods sake do not criticise the Portugese police or they will report you for being Xenophobic. They can call the McCanns every name under the sun, sometimes using the most awful language disguised with astericks. I dont know why the people who moderate this forum allow it. And yes I agree with you, that it is very very annoying when this clique start to talk gibberish in the hope of putting you off. They dont want to hear from anyone who thinks that Madeleine was abducted. They have already decided that she was not .
IMHO I believe that she was abducted and is probably now dead, and my heart grieves for her and her poor family. I accept that they were wrong to leave the children alone, But apart from that I believe they have done nothing wrong. I cannot understand why people are being so nasty. But look through previous threads about this subject and you will see what I mean.

Sambro- I could never have put it better.
And in my opinion the most intelligent person that has been involved in this discussion.

Thank you so much, your intellectual observations were well worth waiting for!
Sambro, I have agree have with your views, and that Totter has the staying power to win this what has turned out to be a battle of words between this clique of fools and one hell of a strong willed woman/man.
Question Author
Looks like the �clique of fools united� have gathered together and agreed that they should disband as the only thimble full of brain cells that they shared between them have all done a runner!

THE END
I'm still here! But i think you've done great with this one. You go girl/boy!

jodie73- My thanks to you jodie73.

I appreciate your compliment a great deal. I will never have my opinions swayed by the majority and did not make my point to be popular with them or with anyone. I simply had my say!

Thanks again.
Just out of interest Totter, are you a boy or a girl?
After reading through the posts here, i found that the majority of people here are sound level headed folk. I do think there is something suspicious about this case but then we (the public) dont know all the evidence we only know what has been in the media and we can`t take that as the honest gospel, the media serves it`s own ends with a scant regard for the truth sometimes. But to sugest that we BAN something that is both perfectly legal (holidaying in portugal) because of one event, an abiet tragic one is the exact sort of reaction that the media wishes us to have, they whip up the public into a frenzy and then point at them and say "see, see the public are in a frenzy something MUST be done" for the reason is that it serves their end to do so, tragedy sells newspapers more than happiness does.

We`ve all heard the specualtion about sleeping pills, and blood in apartments and cars but i havent heard a peep about any "foreign DNA" being found at the scene, which is suspicious in itself. The police there might not (note i say might) be doing a good job but i`d hazard a guess that they know far more about investigating a crime than the OP does.

Again I say to BAN something simply because "you" dont agree with it sounds familiar to me, it`s the same way that people have been controlled since the beginning of civilied society,...

...How far is it then from banning an advert to burning a book (and who did that?) and demonising all the decent folk of portugal in the process.

I post this to all the contibutors in this thread, and dont much care what the OP comes back at me with as the havent added anything to support their view, instead covering the same ground over and over.

"continued below"
By all means let them sell all their Cliff records and send the money to the McCann`s but I do have to wonder how they will then feel IF it comes out that the parent did do it...

"toole" said that the OP has the staying power to "win" this argument, but the last I checked winning an argument didnt solely consist of beating your point into the ground, so by my estimation they wont be winning anything, as the ground they cover again and yet again seems to be insult people and call folk names, which are not the signs of winning an argument, instead they are the signs of not being able to properly support thier own kneejerk reaction.

I could go on to SUPPORT my point of view for a long long time with genuine points and facts but hey The OP wont listen anyway so what would be the point.

"apologies for the length of post but hey i had a lot to say"

EthrielTD �Yawn, Yawn`
Nice long letter from a big shot who thinks that after reading through the posts here, you found that the majority of people here are sound level headed folk. Had you had started this ambiguous note and insubstantial judgment with this point of view, I�m sure that the sane ones could have had a nice early night!

Night Night!
Totter you wrote "By the way, know all know nothing! What gives you the chauvinist pig headed right to assume my sex!
Is their (sic) nothing you lot can say without making stupid presumptions? "

You mump about it and then say it has to remain a secret. I don't gie a toss either way but it saves writing he/she all the time so I might at well call you a he since it's shorter than she.

I see you're still awarding yirsel three stars, is that because no one else will?

EthrielTD - you say you wonder what the people who support the McCanns will feel if it turns out that the parents did it. I would suggest they would not feel as bad as those people who thrown so much vile, offensive, unsubstantiated filth at the McCanns SHOULD feel if it is ever proved that she was abducted.
Question Author
THECORBYLOON- Oh it�s you again,
I know that the truth seems to upset you so I will just leave you to get yourself in a fury about that and not this poor child�s case!

You also seem to be happy about using the word toss! Is this the best you can do other than worry about what sex I am? I�ll leave you doing what you like to keep on about. You must be very happy now.

The sooner Kate and Gerry McCann are charged with murder the better , the we can all sit back and say I told you so ............
Have a read of a dictionary, Chambers for instance and it says for toss �3 slang the slightest amount � not give a toss. argue the toss to dispute a decision.�
Beerbelly - It still amazes me that people are still so certain that the parents murdered Madeleine. Why?
Evidence is needed to charge someone with murder.
Nothing I have heard or seen in the media or on AB has made me even suspicious of the McCanns. I just dont understand it!
Two ***** cops are gone from the investigation. Is that not answer enough for the doubters???
And dont tell me it was the English police made the "breakthrough" either. We get that secondhand through the Portuguese media.
I just wish one of the anti McCann ABers could tell what it is that makes them suspicious of them. And why they cannot accept that the police did not handle the case properly from the very beginning. Surely that is obvious?
Please, no gibberish !
sambro, i agree with your answer, and commend you on presenting it in a calm and pleasant manner, I capitalised the IF to make it noticable to everyone that I was saying that there is still at the moment an abiguity to the case and that every opinion presented by the PUBLIC is based on sceondhand and "media biased" information.

My point being that nobody should really second guess the police who are trained at investigating crimes whereas I would say the majority of the people commenting are not, if it is proved that it was NOT the parents then the people who may have accused them can take back there opinion and admit they were wrong, as can anyone who believed she was abducted can, however the point that i made to which you replied was directed towards the OP who made a point of saying that he/she intends to send money (which cannot be taken back) and berates Cliff Richard who is in no way connected to the case at all due to his choice of country of residence.

I do not know as does no one else unconnected with the investigation, the facts of the case other than those presented by the media which as i said is guilty of serving it`s own wants and needs, so any opinion presented here is just speculation by people not completely aquainted with the case.

And as i expected the OP answers my post with nothing that carries any wieght just more base insults and yet again accuses people of being upset/furious while displaying all those tendancies themself and all the while maintaining a holier than thou attitude, as if their opinion and that is what it is no more than opinion is "more" right than anyone else`s.

The rampant media speculation can only harm the case and skew public opinion in one direction or the other, we the public should allow the police to investigate fully and present their evidence in full before we accuse them of mismanaging the case, as I suspect that evidence has been kept back as not to
