obviousy the original poster must be an active forum member...on here or elsewhere, but I find the responses staggering. England really is full of sheeple!

Its unbelievable, I dont think any of them have even bothered to read the PJ files!

One wouldn't wish to confuse any of those people with the facts.

What is even more frightening is that (presumably) they are all Mums.

What hope is there for decency, common sense, compassion and courtesy to be instilled in their offspring?

[marxman]

They all follow the same agenda, no-one
deviates, no-one questions, no-one breaks
free from the pack, no-one thinks, no-one
expresses thought nor expression, no-one
is original or true...... sad but they all must
agree on that.

RA... The link doesn't seem to work for me.

It appears it's now been whoosh clunked....god forbid the unwashed public, even one of them should question the McCanns innocence.....the fact the thread has gone really does just reinforce the message 'thou shalt not question the mccanns'. Repeat after me! What is this world coming to?!

[margaret]

mumsnet is full of people LIKE the McCanns, they are parents that think they are superior to others. Says it all really, I don't think l've ever seen a supportive or helpful thread on there.

Well - done to Mumsnet for moderating any negative toward the McCann's. On some social bookmarking sites - there are groups that incited hatred toward the McCann's and many groups are verging on witch hunts!

Moderating??? Is "If you don't post what we like" Moderating? We 'Pitchforkers' or whatever else they care to call us will tolerate, put up with and discuss the infantile ravings of the dipsticks they send over to us here on, "A real Child Friendly site".

This couple made a tessible mistake on that fatal night and they are paying dearly for it. So why are people still beating them over the head over this? and it is so unproductive.

Do these sycophant mummsies believe it is productive to place ones children in harms way by abandoning them regularly in order to nip off for a freebie night in a Tapas bar?

I came across an nicely written article in support of Kate's new book.

Thought I would share it with mums on here.

Why Folk Should Stop Punishing Kate McCann and Buy Her Book
May 12, 2011 9 Comments
I felt compelled to write this message as I am appalled by the many people out there who relentlessly gossip on social book marking sites – accusing the McCann’s of child neglect and heartlessly dismiss their desperate pleas for support because they feel that this couple deserve the living hell they are enduring, day in day out.

Is it honestly and rightfully justifiable to accuse this couple of being ‘deliberately neglectful’ and ‘selfish’ parents when they checked-in on their sleeping children every half-hour?
The McCann’s were having a meal with friends just (100 metres away) from where Madeleine and her twin siblings slept. Surely – neglectful parents would have not bothered to check on their off-spring at all? Whereas – the McCann’s did, and regularly.
It is so easy for us to say ‘I would never leave my child alone’ when something tragic has happened to a parent that did. When I was holidaying in Greece – I noted that some couples left their offspring in the apartment during the evening while they dined in the restaurant. If some opportunist had abducted or harmed one of their children while they ate – would this couple have warranted more sympathy than the McCann’s did?
Why can’t the Algarve holiday resort where they stayed take some of the responsibility?
Apparently – there had been five previous incidents where paedophiles on the Algarve had climbed into bed with holidaying children. I don’t suppose that such a thriving holiday destination such as Pra De Luz could offer any glint of a warning to unsuspecting parents? Obviously not – as this would have undoubtedly jeopardized their bookings.
Some folk have created social bookmarking groups which incite hate comments toward the McCann’s. (shame on you Facebook for allowing this and not responding to reported pages!). These Facebook gossipers have this warped idea that they are supporting Madeleine by expressing how disgusted they are with her parents. Surely – Madeleine would find such damning and negative comments against her mum and dad very upsetting – not to mention – emotionally damaging.
Stop nailing the McCann’s to the Cross
Kate and Gerry have to face every waking day with one of the most unthinkable questions plaguing their minds. ‘Did a paedophile take Madeleine?’ Do you not think that this question alone – is punishment enough for them? The maternal pain Kate suffers surrounding that question must be torturous, and for Gerry, is this not every dads worse nightmare?
So what is the point in any negative slanderous gossip toward the McCann’s? What purpose does it serve – but only to rob them of the support and sympathy they deserve from the public. Even if you do feel that they are guilty and responsible – then forgive them. If you don’t want offer anything positive to this couple – then don’t waste any energy on being negative as it is purely unproductive. Also – bear in mind that any negative comments directed at Kate and Gerry McCann’s could be detrimental to Madeleine’s brother and sister emotionally. Not much point in fighting Madeleine’s corner if you are potentially harming another 2 children in the process!
Thankfully – Kate and Gerry also have many loving supporters but the purpose of this article is a plea to ask people to think about the negative comments they are making and not get hooked into the witch-hunts surrounding this case.
Why you should buy Kate McCann’s book
There have been many negative responses surrounding the McCann’s intentions for this book. Some folk are accusing the McCann’s of raking in money by capitalising on their daughter’s disappearance, and others are saying that there is no point in buying it because they already know the case inside out.
Well – here are some very important and valid reasons why you should purchase this book.
Every penny from the proceeds of the book will help fund an independent review of Madeleine’s case.
Reading the book will give Kate a chance to put her side across and give you a deeper insight and understanding into how it was and is.

it is sad that it seems obvious that they havent bothered to make themselves aware of the facts, and the information in the PJ files, I would have thought that anyone who genuinely wants to know what happened would make themselves aware of all of the facts and would also not do their best to stop all the information coming out. By suppressing information from the files that is really not helping the public to be more aware of what may be going on in this case.

I seem to recall Jane Tanner used to be on Mumsnet

What's a social bookmarking site?

[cherry1]

What is Social Bookmarking?:
Have you ever e-mailed a friend or family member and sent them a link to a website you thought they might find interesting? If so, you have participated in social bookmarking.

What is social bookmarking? It is tagging a website and saving it for later. Instead of saving them to your web browser, you are saving them to the web. And, because your bookmarks are online, you can easily share them with friends.

What Can Social Bookmarking Do For Me? :
Not only can you save your favorite websites and send them to your friends, but you can also look at what other people have found interesting enough to tag. Most social bookmarking sites allow you to browse through the items based on most popular, recently added, or belonging to a certain category like shopping, technology, politics, blogging, news, sports, etc.

You can even search through what people have bookmarked by typing in what you are looking for in the search tool. In fact, social bookmarking sites are being used as intelligent search engines.
