Qui tacet consentire videture... I want it to be understood by MNHQ and by guests to this site that my silence on the subject of the recent speculative threads does NOT condone their existence.

I am bonkers

I dont mean to make enemies, but i do disagree to some extent (and i do have a right to). But i think youve all gathered that by now.

Am leaving now, good luck with your pledge and petition

true story. perhas 'existence' isn't right? it's all the hand-wringing and miss marpling that is nauseating. but i kinda couldn't get into that in the title. anyway, you get the gist.

a thread with information is fine - but the speculating is abhorrent. AN you could just read the newspapers if you wanted to!

Avoided like the plague, too 'Daily Mail' for me

x-posted with haychee. although she is, as she acknowledges, completely bonkers.

Twofalls

always found the morbid speculation distasteful.

Excellent thread Aitch.

As to the silent majority/minority aspect - i've kept well away from the threads till now. Haychee you seem positively addicted, is it giving you such a voyeuristic rush?

Can I just say I felt the same about the 'oh me oh my, I cannot think of anything except Poor Maddie [sic] day and night' threads, of which these are but the flip side?

Nice to see you here MI

TBH MB, am finding MN not really my Home at the moment, IYKWIM

IKWYM, sadly.

It would be very strange if there was no mention of the story at all.

signed, with grateful thanks to Aitch, Hunker, VVVQ, Carmenere , MB et al, who have expressed what i would have liked to say, far more eloquently

yes, you can have my signature on this too

AIBU for wanting to keep signing this?

I am with MB and MI, it's not the same place. I know people have said that at intervals over the ages, but it really isn't, and these threads are symptomatic of that.

Mars!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I agree that that would be strange, but the 'sluthing' and constant speculation has decended to a point that I was ashamed of myself for not getting involved.

Discussing the recent changes in the case is one thing, but reading people speculating on how someone could have disposed of a body, was beyond normal interest and had reached a point of putrid prurience.

And I wanted it clear that my previous silence on the topic, did not give my consent.

signed as above

and at the risk of being accused of being in a clique, can I say how fantastic it is to have so many posters that I have admired for so long on this thread.

It is making me feel better about MN, much better.

I don't get it [dim emoticon], what's it all about, Alfie?
