Hmm, Ok, well I quote otg who apparently allows himself to have a personal opinion and express them, but not so those who disagree
I'm disappointed in that you appeared to be quite rational in your thinking, and then, the final analysis is just an old "BR sexual experiment leading to an accident" theory!! Excuse me for expecting more. I am merely expressing myself in disagreement with you. I could go into details about why I don't think a 9 yo with no prior history of bizzare sexual behaviour would do such an outrageous act, which is then covered up by his parents, but I feel that sadly, it would fall on deaf ears.
Gosh, and all that good work with the knots, cords, etc, all gone to waste. I've got to say that it would be more believeable to me if you substituted an IDI for her loving 9yo brother, who has been forever scarred by her death. I can somehow understand when people on this forum try to blame her parents, they had a high profile and were rich and influential, which can cause envy related hatred. But to try and implicate her young brother is inexplicible. I don't think a debate on this subject would lead to a happy ending.
Murri, where do I begin to respond to that? It would be much easier to simply agree with your last sentence and agree to disagree. But Ill give you the benefit of a longer response because I feel you deserve it, and because I dont want you to be so disappointed in my conclusions.
Apparently, you thought that I appeared to be quite rational in (my) thinking, until I came to a different conclusion than the one you had wanted to hear. Believe me, I dont like thinking that JonBenet might have been killed by her brother. But I dont believe it was intentional, and I wouldnt even go as far as you did to call it bizarre sexual behavior or an outrageous act.
I suppose you
would find it more believable had I substituted an IDI for her loving 9yo brother, but that would be trying to fit a wannabe conclusion to the known facts rather than letting the evidence dictate the conclusion. You see, thats the difference between my theory and your belief. I am not trying to implicate her young brother at all. While my opinion of what the evidence tells us may be wrong (There is after all a lot we dont know, and a lot that we think we know that may be wrong -- but I recognize that and allow for it.), I didnt form the opinion first and then try to manipulate the evidence to support it.
One more thing I should point out,
Murri, is that since you dont know the social or financial status of anyone you speak to here, its a long stretch to say that everyone who disagrees with your opinion does so because of envy related hatred, even if you can somehow understand it.
If you choose to calm down discuss the evidence, I will gladly do so, and I promise you I will treat you with respect even though you disagree with me. But I cant debate you on your opinion -- I can, and will probably, disagree with it, but I cant debate it, and I won't try to.
