    Thanked??? :eek: Is the thought police a thing? I often thank posts which I may not necessarily agree with because they show well worked out logic or say something in a way I wouldn't have thought of etc. I believe I may have even thanked one of your posts susie *(can't rem why though) and I'd disagree with about 98% of them tbh.

    Christ on a bike ....

    When someone is repeatedly posting that they hold a position (say, being totally open minded on the case and being open the McCanns being innocent), yet thank, quote and support posts that contradict that quite regularly, it’s a bit confusing.

    When you also consider people are insisting there is no evidence either way, for either scenario, yet only seem to say it in reply to anyone who supports the abduction theory, it gets even more confusing.

    And to top it all off, they constantly criticise anyone they perceive to have a hardline stance on the case, yet also appears to have a very hardline stance themselves.

    It’s dishonest and disengeneous and it’s very frustrating to see post after post sneering at those who lean towards the abduction theory, when those who claim be impartial are not remotely open to the McCanns being innocent at all.

    They are just as hardline as those they are sneering at, they just aren’t being honest about it.

    Want to talk about Kate making jokes about the dogs with the pedophile?
    No! lets talk about what posts you thanked.

    Lol. That made me laugh. I've just thanked your post ...;)

    Susie - you've thanked overtly abusive comments. And that's just nasty no matter what someones opinions is. End of story.

    I wont apologise for the fact I haven't completly latched on to any one of the scenarios listed. That is how it is.

    The only ones going on endlessly about 'abduction theory" imo are the ones who see it as the only option. Most of the rest to be fair are discussing various aspects of the case but every time they do they get egged. Why is that?


    *Btw I noticed you moved from having a pop a Limnam to now having a pop at others. Your serial thankers will thank you no doubt lol

    And it remains that is a fact. He is a known paedophile or is that uncomfortable reading? As others pointed we have no idea what anyone knew but it remains a salient fact that it is now known. Or should we not speak the truth because it may make some uncomfortable :mad:

    Btw exactly what am I repeating over and over? More exaggerating and hyperbole thrown at anyone who doesn't kowtow to the official sanctioned version of events. The attempted bullying here is risible tbh. However the exaggerated offence fools no one tbh.


    Bullying?? Wow.


    Being asked to back up your statements is bullying now?


    If you make a statement of fact, you will be asked to back it up with evidence. You are big on the truth after all ;)

    I know the Portuguese seemed to have jumped the gun in relation to positive preliminary dna results but you'd wonder why the lab would send any positive indication at that point only to caveat it by saying don't believe it until final results and then the final results show nothing at all.. I know the police in Portugal suspected the parents so probably hoped the results were positive. Does anyone have a link to the initial lab statement in full in English?
    Thanks

    The ‘abduction theory’ is the favoured one because of the relative implausibility of the other possibilities.

    Based on the timeline as best known, one really needs to accept a series of absurdities to conclude the parents disposed of the body. The abduction theory doesn’t require that level of absurdity.

    There isn’t much amounting to evidence in support of either theory. But on an Occam’s razor basis, it’s more likely 90:10 in favor of abduction.

    This is the last time I'm going to engage you on this crusade. If you want to talk about the case instead of me I'm all ears.



    I explained yesterday.


    There's a major problem with a timeline for them to be involved. It's obviously a large part of the "pro McCann" hypothesis on why they're innocent.


    I have a problem with a time line as much as anyone else. So there's plenty of room for thier innocence.


    But there's not much I can do about the time line, it is what it is. But I can also not blanket say they're innocent because of my lack of creativity and imagination on how to get rid of a body in the given time line.


    That aside I have a lot of issues with them and their friends actions/words .


    There's a wave of lies and deception that needs to be looked and try to explain away some of that. That for me will help one way or another. Eithier leaning more to them been guilty or innocence but the list of issues just grow and grow and grow.


    It's hard to "thank" pro McCann stuff because they don't really come up with anything bar shouting looking for a time line.


    We get it. There's a time line problem. now what? what about all the other problems. But they won't to discuss so if there contrbution is to shout out timeline every 5 minutes what I'm going to thank?

    It's a FACT he was a pedophile

    FACT.

    When was he convicted of this crime? Alleged is the word you're looking for here I think.

    No mistruth, no rumour.


    FACT.


    Kate was drinking brandy with a 'known' paedophile. his alleged victims did not speak out until after his death in 2016. He was therefore not a 'known' paedophile at the time they were drinking brandy together.

    please point out any rumour/mistruth in the above

    Done.



    This is the last post I'll make on this subject. I'm aware of what you're at and have no further interest in playing the game.

    Lol that's what you call 'backing up statements"? Whoheee ....

    You missed out the exaggerated offence btw!

    Considering there been some posters on here who actually said the wouldn't believe the official PJ files. I'm sure you've seen some of them tbh.
    Btw you missed the bit about it being risible. Or do I need to explain that?

    Anyway enough of this rubbish with the having a go at posters cos someone doesn't like their opinion. If someone was paranoid It might be suggested certain elements are trying to get the thread shut down tbh. But anyway there you go.

    :rolleyes:

    Known to the general public. We don't know what kate knew.

    You have stated Kate didn't know he was a paedophile again why are you so certain? It's a straight question.


    So I take it you won't be backing up the claim you made?

    Something I didn't realize until recently is a Paedophile is not the same as a convicted child sex offender.. I assumed it meant they were child sex offenders. The term means they are attracted to children but it's not actually criminal until the person acts on the urges

    From that response I will take it you can't. Good to know but a somewhat immature response tbh. I'll leave it at that others can make of your response what they will.

    Yep, problem is the timeline as best known is full of half truths and outright lies, which leaves the parents open for fair scrutiny.

    I'd actually say it's more 70/30 in favour of abduction, the unanswered questions and changing statements definitely throw an element of doubt into the equation.

    It was a perfectly fair response. Seems like you blindly accept one statement, but wish to discredit another for some reason. Bit biased, but there you have it.



    I'm sure people can make up their minds about the truth alright.

    Not directed at me but I definitely think the abduction scenario is most likely.

    Problem is as I keep alluding to I think the account of the events by the Tapas 7 and the Mc Canns is incorrect, based mainly on the accounts of Tanner and Gerry Mc Cann who should have crossed paths if they are to be believed but one says they never saw the other and the other says he was standing talking to someone in the street.

    The 9.05pm check never happened and Gerry didn't bother his hole checking on the kids is my best guess

    Not being smart but you would you distinguish between them if you had children, I know I don't.

    In this case, all of the bands present in the prof - e of abtained from the pillowcase are
    represented in the combined profiles of Kate HEALY and Gerald McCANN. This is
    what I would expect to find if the profile obtained from the pillowcase originated from
    a natural child of theirs.

    The results of the DNA profile obtained from the pillowcase is approximately 29
    million times more likely if the profile originates form a natural child of theirs rather
    than someone unrelated to them.

    In my opinion, the results detailed above provide extremely strong support for the
    view that the profile obtained from the pillowcase originated from a natural child of
    Kate HEALY and GERALD McCANN.

    So there was a definite match on the pillow case which i assume was from the pillow Madeline slept on? The inconclusive test was from the car?

    And that's fine if that's what you genuinely believe. I'm not convinced tbh. It's the endless beating of everyone else over the head with it gives people a bit of a headache tbh.

    It's a get out of jail response tbh, you made a strident claim that Kate didn't know he was a paedophile I asked you to back it up instead of doing so you are engaging in deflection and semantics . I don't accept anything blindly but of course this is further evidence of deflection.

    Unfortunately the turth requires evidence which you failed to provide, one can only arrive at one other conclusion as to what your claim is.
