Tbh, I do not think that Kate Mccann is likely to come on to mn and read these threads. Really I don?t. And even if she does, the family are already aware that this case hasn?t attracted all positive publicity. Gerry Mccann?s sister-In-law was on 5 live this morning, and while most of the messages read out were supportive, not all were, with some people feeling outraged at the amount of media coverage this has received, the amount of reward offered for the return of one child etc. These are intelligent people, they will know that if in the future they venture on to the internet, they are likely to find negative as well as positive comments. That doesn?t necessarily mean that a thread like this could be a free for all for negative comment, but I think that considering the majority of comments towards the family have been positive, it?s normal that there will be some who say some things that not everyone agrees with. That?s life unfortunately.
I think it?s natural that people speculate. I think the media speculation fuels this though, and if there were no media coverage, this thread would have died a long time ago.
I think most have their own theories, some feel it is appropriate to voice those publically, some don?t. I did suggest earlier that perhaps it would be better to not discuss this at all, but I think there seems to be a general feeling that by not discussing it, Madeleine will slide out of the focus, so I don?t think that people can be told not to discuss, and as there is a lack of update, people will draw their own conclusions.
