I am boycotting threads about the plight of the McCann family - anyone else?

I have the utmost sympathy for the Mccann family, and hope for a happy ending to thier trouble. Meanwhile I am not happy about many aspects of teh many threads, and hearby resolve to completely boycott them. By not clicking, not reading, nor responding (however horrible the views), and thus not adding to the circular and predicatable route they take, no matter what quality of ontervention is made.

Clasp your right hand over your left Nork and repeat the boycott pledge after me!

I hate to betray the creed but I am so shocked by this news that I can understand people wanting to post about it. Sorry.

Spidermama · 07/09/2007 15:39

Here we go again, BUT.....

(Hand wavers on nork)

...what if this really is a proper development. Surely we all want to know. It's not the same as the idle tittle tattle which filled active convos for the weeks after the event.

Dinosaur · 07/09/2007 15:40

It is a proper development Spidermama, ie she has been made a formal suspect (arguida) although the reasons for this are obscure.

Spidermama · 07/09/2007 18:58

That's what I'm saying Dino. She may just be a suspect for technicaol reasons.

Whoops! I seem to be on the wrong thread.
