Violation of these Terms of Service or any other rules promulgated by Websleuths may lead to suspension or termination of your posting privileges at the sole discretion of Websleuths.

WHO IS WELCOME HERE?

1. Anyone interested in true crime cases and/or advocacy. Law Enforcement, Family and friends of victims and anyone with special information on a case or science in solving one.

2. Each poster may use only one user name. Attempts to register with more than one user name may result in deletion of all associated accounts. User names are subject to approval by the forum administration to avoid offensive, misleading, or confusing names.

If you feel you must re-register or change your user name please email an administrator for assistance.

4. We strive to provide a safe environment for members to express their ideas without personal attacks or "flames". Please be polite in your posts. Any reply that we feel violates this rule including but not limited to, name calling, ad hominem argument, and profane or racist language will be deleted. If you object to a post, and consider it a flame or insult, please use the "Report post" link instead of insulting the poster back. If you flame others through personal attacks, even in response to a perceived personal attack, you will lose your posting privileges.

Any member who becomes belligerent or requires too much attention from moderators will lose their posting privileges.

5.

We do not have the time to enter into a discussion with you.

Re-read the rules to refresh your memory as to why it happened. Once again, there will be no discussion on these matters. If you become a nuisance, you will lose your posting privileges. We welcome debate regarding the cases and topics, but these forum rules are not open for discussion, argument or debate.

If you object to these rules being applied in a certain case, please report this to us using the "Report post" link . Any public discussion of such matters will be removed and you will lose your posting privileges. Simply put: This is our turf. We've opened it up to you and would like you to stay and feel welcome here. We put a lot of time and effort into providing you with a clean and safe environment which means we clean up a lot of rubbish. We who volunteer to pick up the rubbish get to decide what is rubbish based upon the Rules outlined here. If we decide that your post is unacceptable it will be removed. Please don't argue and please don't keep posting along the same line otherwise we will have to disable your account.

11. Please note that Websleuths is a victim friendly forum therefore we do not permit name calling of victims. Please tread carefully in this area. Discussion of victims and families is permitted but name calling and foundless accusations will not be allowed.

Hi everyone, I think I had something to do with the other thread being closed, if so, am very sorry. I only want Madelaine to be found safe and well.
 
I will be moving thread #6 back once I review it and delete any post that may be needed to be deleted.
 
I just have one question before I post on this thread: was the "attack" by WSer's to other posters or by WSer's to the McCann's?

I wouldn't attack other WS'ers but I have a few choice thoughts about the McCann's. Just want to be clear before I say anything! TIA.
 
Thankyou Windchime, I personally do not feel like I was attacking, but if that is how it came across, I deeply apologise.
 
Windchime and everyone.
I'm sure I agreed to a TOS when I signed up for WS, but that was long ago and I perhaps don't know whats permitted here and whats not. I personally didn't see any personal attacks. I'm wondering if there is a TOS I can read thats specific about whats permissable to discuss and how much its permissable to "argue about our opinions".
 
Just so that our members now I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU I have one page left to read and so far I DO NOT FIND ANY OF YOU ATTRACTING the family of this precious little girls family. IMO What these parents did is wrong it's against the laws to leave your your young children alone at any time let alone taking them on vacation to a strange country and while your out at night wining and dining and having a hay old time you leave your children alone with the doors unlocked.

Thank you, WindChime. I think I speak for most of us on the Madeleine thread when I say we totally disagree with what the McCanns did and believe this is a clear case of neglect. But we aren't mounting a personal vendetta against them.

I was not personally attacking a WS member, but I was stating my opinions about the McCanns which another poster said I was attacking them, but we cleared that up and ended up having a civil conversation. We dont agree on the word attack, buy hey thats cool, we all think differently, and I do respect the posters on WS, but it is the topic Im giving my opinions on not the poster.
 

`snip ~
Mr Brown this morning held talks with the Portuguese prime minister Jose Socrates.

It is the first meeting between the two leaders since Mr Brown was appointed prime minister and comes as Portugal assumes the EU presidency.

Mr Socrates is pushing for progress on the EU Treaty, agreed in draft form at last month's EU summit.

He wants to push for a Treaty of Lisbon in October and today told Mr Brown Europe had to move from a mandate to a formalised treaty.

Talks on the wording of the treaty began on July 23. Mr Brown affirmed today the UK would seek to see its "negotiating objectives" in the detail of the agreement.
~ end snip ~

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it interesting that all this reinterviewing of suspects and hints of development in Madeleine's case follow the talk between Brown and Socrates?

Am I seeing conspiracies where there are none?

Moongodesss - what say you? Is there a link between Socrates wanting something from Brown and the new activity on the case? Are politics at play here?

I think all these little press leaks are very interesting. Portugal LE are very tight-lipped and now we are seeing leaks that something is about to happen, the one and only suspect is being reinterviewed, more than one person involved, the parents have no comment....

Is something really up? or is this to make the UK happy so Brown will support Socrates' political agenda? or is this to throw the parents off guard?

Hmmmmm......

I personally believe that PE is entirely clueless.
 
I hesitate to condemn the Portuguese L.E. in their investigations. They may not have the training in forensic science or the tools to go along with it (or they may have- I don't know) but that does not mean they don't perhaps have some very sharp minds. And also there are people looking at this thing internationally-right?

This crime might well have gone unsolved in this country for just as long a time. The child, if she was truly kidnapped, was taken when circumstances were favorable and so there may not be the evidence we would all hope would have been found.

I hope that the recent hints of action in the case pan out because I am thinking that this case could well be one of those few that go unsolved for 70 years or so.
 
I think the P-LE are undermanned, under-funded and slightly overwhelmed. I'd hate to call them complacent about child abductions, but either they haven't had many or the investigations are so low-key nothing gets accomplished. And then Madeleine's disappearance gets dropped into their laps.
 
I think the New Prime Minister was just throwing his two cents worth in about Madelaine, he is more focused on the EU treaty, and keeping in good with socrates.

The investigation is no further ahead than it was when Madelaine went missing.
 
H'yall:blowkiss:

I haven't quite got my head around what has happened here:confused: but I am guessing that this thread is in danger of going down the route of DS.

I respect the moderators in their attempt to maintain a sense of decorum:) I hope that we are allowed to continue in our search for the Truth in this. TBH this is why I haven't posted, I do get so enraged by some of the antics of the 'Team' and their supporters and I have to step away from my computor.........

Anyway you know I love all you guys:) I had my mouth in my stomach for most of the day yesterday whilst Murat was with the PLE - I will be stunned if it turns out he played any part in the allleged abduction of Madeleine.

Hey! maybe we should all take up jogging?..... it seems to be working for some involved in all this :rolleyes: - whilst the rest of us are bordering on a mental breakdown!

See you later:blowkiss:
 
Hi everyone, I think I had something to do with the other thread being closed, if so, am very sorry. I only want Madelaine to be found safe and well.
Hi Shazza, I really don't think it had anything to do with you. I think it involved me and another poster. I don't know if i'm allowed to say who so I won't. I'm sorry the thread was closed. Prayers for Madeleine.

Hey it happens, this case is enough to send anyone round the twist, we all get frustrated and feel helpless, we want to help but dont know how, or are too far away. Of course there are going to be difference of opinions, we all dont think alike, and therefore arguments and disagreements are part and parcel of debating about something we all feel very strongly about. We all have one thing in common and that is the safe return of Madelaine, lets focus on her and how the investigation is going.

Anyway april4sky my name is Shazza, glad to meet you.
