MrsSpoon · 16/05/2007 19:05

The old thread takes too long to load.

Lets hope this is the one that contains the good news that she has been found alive and well.

All, Im not going to justify anything I have commented on, or talked about on these threads. Im not unwholesome, nasty or a twat.

Im off this thread now until there is more news to discuss. I wont get into bickering anymore, does my head in. Go for it girls, whatever floats your boat!

schmirdle · 17/05/2007 13:04

Rhubarb, I agree it's offensive. And it should be deleted. That's why I felt compelled to add to this messageboard (having not used Mumsnet before)...Madeliene is not sport..she is someone's daughter, who is lost and alone.
Some of you lot are sick.

MrsSpoon · 17/05/2007 13:06

I agree Rhubarb, please MN delete this, it has turned out to be the worst of all the 'news' threads.

I have been genuinely shocked by some of the vile comments that have been posted about this case and have in the past asked for MN to delete posts. Can't believe this has gone the same way.

I am definately off this time.

The special olympics comment was not needed.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

lollypopmax · 17/05/2007 13:10

I did google the Russian guy and mention it on here but I wasn't 'looking for clues' FGS. What MrsSpoon said about an interview was a JOKE - let me just apologise now before anyone says a joke on here is wrong too.

I am also guilty of reporting stuff from Sky News (albeit with an apology each time) and I do actually think Sky are a load of speculative sensationalists (and have said so) but did it when there has been something on TV and not updated on their website. Before someone jumps on me for that, I watched two bulletins yesterday and don't have it running all day.

I don't believe any of the psychic or dream stuff either.

I'm not trying to justify my actions, I am mortified and very sorry if I have caused any offence. All I want is a positive outcome for Madeleine - how it happens doesn't really matter. So what about the news in the meantime.

Please just ask for the thread to be deleted rather than come on here and mount such personal attacks - why on earth are you attacking QM like that?

Guilty m'lud but some of you lot are judge, jury and executioner.

mumemma you have nothing to be sorry for imo

ruty · 17/05/2007 13:20

agree with Malory and rhubarb.

schmirdle · 17/05/2007 13:21

Well at least you're trying to be positive MumEmma, which is more than can be said for Malory Towers - who seems inten just being downright nasty - yes of course, MT, we all thing you're so witty and controversial, my sides are splitting.
Let's just wait 'til there's some news and hope it's good news.

oliveoil · 17/05/2007 13:21

I have stopped watching Sky

dh puts Al Jezzera (sp?) on (quite good actually)

Rhubarb · 17/05/2007 13:21

Leave it now.

A little girl is missing.

Don't use her name in vain anymore.

schmirdle · 17/05/2007 13:22

Debbsyandsonn - I'm only going on what I've seen so far.

boobyprize · 17/05/2007 13:23

I can't belive the mumsnet towers are leaving this thread on here to be honest.
Not so long ago mumsnet was in the news as being vile cows who just slag people off. Well Gina ford must be really happy about this one.Mumsnet is a wonderful place full of support and caring people. My guess is lots of people that have never heard of Mumsnet will now try to find to see if she is right or get some support. What a nice thread to find.
Yes people have taken it a bit too far trying to solve the crime , but this is real life and human nature that is how some people cope with something like this. Some people really feel frustrated and want to help.
I find it sick that some of you have just jumped on here to take the piss. If you don't like this thread then don't open it simple. I don't know why we have to have boden or potty training bootcamp threads over and over. Simple thing is it is important to you lot so why would I go on it and slag you all off?

PLEASE STOP IT NOW We all feel the same and hope this little girl is well and safe and will be returned. We are all parents.

morningpaper · 17/05/2007 13:25

I'm very sorry if I have come across as sarcastic or rude

I have found this Secret Seven stuff REALLY tasteless and inappropriate and it has driven me mad seeing it in Active Convs for two weeks

I have said so in a lot of ways but it still continues

I PERSONALLY think it would be more appropriate in email or MSN

ScoobyDooooo · 17/05/2007 13:29

Well what a surprize to come back to a load of ballshit!

Why the hell do people feel the need to row about all this, where are the bloody news updates? all i can see is a load of bickering bored housewifes!

Yadayadablahblah or whatever your name is, you are a very very sick person, maybe take a step back & look at your awful comment was there really any need for such offense?

I really can not be bothered with this shit on here, i think alot of people need to do some growing up, have some feelings & respect for others.

Mn is going down hill fast, very fast indeed.

You lot should be ashamed of yourselves!!

Boco · 17/05/2007 13:37

Not been venturing onto these threads - but was curious to see if the plea in the title had worked.

So - did it? I suppose its like having a thread 'AIBU (please, no one say yabu)'

Hope the sleuthing and psychic ananlysis can be kept to msn or email to prevent further tone lowering.

LaBoheme · 17/05/2007 13:41

Every time I check this thread my heart sinks with the sarcasm and piss-taking some posters are taking glee in, at the expense of someone else's lost child. I was put in my place by Toomuch when I first posted to ask people to try and stick to updates and not get too personal hmm. Yahblah that comment was cruel you seriously need to check yourself.
I really hope this thread is deleted and I never thought I would say that - but some things you just shouldn't make a joke out of. Even if the Mccanns are not cheking this site they may have friends and relatives who are. What a bunch of sick B they would think are posting on here.

NKF · 17/05/2007 13:46

No-one is taking the piss out of a missing child. The only piss taking is at the expense of the ghoulish, speculating posters.

Taking the piss out of those posters is not the same as taking the piss out of the McCann family. Even to insinuate that is the most disgusting thing I've yet to read on here.

schmirdle · 17/05/2007 13:46

La Boheme - you're absolutely right. I'm not using mumsnet again, that's for sure. My God, if you cant count on other mothers to be compassionate and kind, then I despair.
Have a nice life.
God bless Madeliene.

WhoBuiltTheArkNoahNoah · 17/05/2007 13:46
