AIBU?
For objecting to people forwarding Fine Madeline emails

I really can't see how filling peoples inboxes with SPAM is going to help. Surely everyone has seen the papers ?TV etc by now.
I've had the same email 5 times today from people I hardly know.

not unreasonable.Don't have e-mails about any other missing children why this one!
Am fed up now with all this.If she is ok then she is on the continent somewhere not UK and I for one feel that we would all be better off looking for one of the many that have gone missing here right now.
I have said it before but I'll repeat myself I feel sad for the little girl but there are others out there with more chance of being found.
Also I know I sound heartless so no need to tell me so.

If you are in the uk, and you receive one from a friend, also in the uk, you have reasonable grounds for blocking them from msn for a period of not less than one week, even if it includes their sodding birthday.
I think forwarding the posters to friends and relations abroad is a good idea, but who in the uk isn't aware of Madeleine's abduction now?

people you "hardly know" may think that you could have relatives, friends or colleagues in spain and that if so, you would be happy to forward the emails.
it takes but a few seconds to delete a mail you've already seen, less time than it takes to post a message on mumsnet.
i DO have family in spain and wish someone would forward it to me in all honesty.

Yes you are. I get more upset by getting asked if I want a bigger dick, viagra or cure for baldness but I don't feel the need to create an AIBU post about it. Just press delete, it's quick and painless or even better forward to someone who might be able to help.
Don't worry, your precious time won't be taken up much longer as the campaign will he hard to sustain but maybe you could just put up with it a little longer because somebody somewhere might be able to help.
Don't really want a fight but I think this thread is unnecessary - if it was your daughter, you might feel a bit upset if you found a group of mothers moaning about their inboxes being filled up, rather than proactively trying to help.

there are a lot of missing children out there you say, and you're getting arsey about publicising the search for one???
tell me again what your point is.
At least two maybe three of the 'possible' sightings of Madeleine were by people who thought what they were seeing was suspicious but had no idea there was a missing child of her description.
how would you feel if that was your child.
just delete the mails fgs

i've not gotten any of those emails, but then again, i'm careful where i put my email address and who has it.
i dont think its unreasonable, as a lot of people are going to delete them and not to mention, attachments with maddie on them are perfect targets for computer viruses, etc....
