Say hello and introduce yourself here

I don't think that Lioned ever went anywhere!

Hello to everyone who hasn't been greeted individually.

Lovely to see friendly names here, well done to candyfloss, also glad to see Russian Doll and Lioned are back.

Hello Beanie welcome to the forum, glad you found us.

Thank you candyfloss.

@ Freedom, I apologise, I should have said here not back.

Hi, I was another one banned from the JH forum when I got upset at what was going on there and said things about a certain person I probably should have not posted in public.

Very pleased to have found this new forum via Cristobell's website, and looking forward to discussion which isn't apparently dominated solely by one person's opinions.

That's what comes with having b/f in the job, sometimes doesn't finish till after 2am and sometimes
wait up!

Hello and welcome.   Everyone's opinion is valid here, and all members will be treated fairly and the same.  'Be nice' is the motto, I hope everyone who joins remembers that.

Found a link on cristobells blog. So happy to see candyfloss here, I wondered where you had gone. Hopefully nfwtd will join you.

Great to see so many great posters here and hope to see more joining up. I hope everyone's voice can be heard and new members feel comfortable posting.

I personally would love for wlbts to join, excellent poster imo.

Best of luck with the forum and hope its an easier one to moderate!

Hey bellisa, your wish is my command!

Great to have a voice again when I had given up all hope of discussing this case amongst friends.  That's what this place needs to be - a place for friends to chat, agree, and disagree, and remain friends.

I don't want to bring up what happened to me at CMOMM, but people may be curious so I'll just say this: the whole truth is that I spoke up, and had to be silenced.  I will certainly discuss some of TB's lists of 'facts', which when you look closely are nothing of the kind.  I'm looking forward to being able to do that without being the target of a T-Bomb ;-)  But in accordance with the rules of this forum I'll not be discussing TB as a person.  His actions say far more about him than I ever could.

And that's all I'll say about the 'bad old days'.  Here's to some good ones

Good to see you here WLBTS.

Likewise, it's great to have a voice again and to be able to discuss things amongst friends.

Well done to Candyfloss for giving us the opportunity to do so.

3 Cheers for a great new forum that is only going to get better.

Good to see you here WLBTS, I know you left the forum same time as me, spoke too frankly as I did. I think we and others simply decided enough was enough and thankfully we now have CF and this forum, I am very grateful it was set up.

People who read JH can see posts from former members which can still be read on that forum, no point repeating or bringing old stuff over.
Interesting times which will trigger a lot of discussion.

I seek neither foe nor friendship simply justice for MBM.

I too will be on my best behaviour.

Congratulations for the new forum.

Welcome to the forum Travis.

Hello everyone, I'm known to a few members on here, because I am a member of the 'Missing Madeleine' forum. I'm looking forward to posting with the people I know and the people I have yet to meet on here.

To get to the reason why we are here, who would have thought we would still be discussing the sad case of Madeleine's disappearance, 7yrs and 4months later! I for one didn't think we would.

I feel sure that If Goncalo Amaral and his team had been allowed to investigate the case and bring the case to the rightful conclusion, the McCanns and anyone else who played a part in Madeleine's disappearance, would have been behind bars. In my opinion, the likelihood of this ever happening is zilch, thanks to those in power, who have a vested interest in helping the McCanns evade justice.

I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I truly believe that none of these people have any interest in Madeleine or her whereabouts.

If I'm so wrong, when have any of them expressed any concern for the suffering Madeleine will have endured before she was removed from apartment 5a? The McCanns certainly haven't and neither have their family. If they had they would have all looked for Madeleine, until they could look no more. Redwood and his team aren't interested in Madeleine, all they're interested in, is finding a 'patsy or patsies' to take the blame for her disappearance. They maybe following instructions from Bernard Hogan-Howe, who is a friend of Kate McCann's parents, but that doesn't make it right.

Would you believe Kathybelle that I was reading a post from you this evening on the MM forum and wondered whether you might be interested in joining this forum.

Welcome - we're nearing the one hundred mark now!

My red highlight. Is that really true?

Hello Freedom: flower:

Thanks for the welcome, I only discovered this forum a couple of hours ago and I'm glad I have.

 Yo, Kathy, terrific to see you!  We ought to give Sherry a shout as well, and Graceland Ann!

Never thought we would still be here 7 years later eh?  I hope the end is in sight, I can't take much more

Hi Linda  

great to see you again, I hope you're keeping well. Thanks for putting the link to the forum on your website, hopefully some of our old mates from AOL will see the link and start posting on here. Sherry and Graceland Ann were great posters weren't they, Sherry never wavered did she, no matter how much abuse was hurled at her, from the McCann fans. To be fair to us, we didn't waver either lol.

Hi Kathybelle

Great to see peeps from the old AOL messageboards joining here. I hope Amanda, cherub, arthurblackdog and Henrydog join here too. Are they still pro's Cristobell? I know you were. OMG, those were the days, we certainly gave those mccann fans a run for there money didn't we and made them don their hard hats. They called us attack dogs didnt they LOL!

Welcome Kathybelle  

Ah, so you have decided to go with accusing me of being a former 'pro'.  Lol.  Makes me wonder if you were even there? Fortunately lots were and they are still around - they know my feelings on the McCann case and have from the start.  

It took me a little while to state publicly that I thought the McCanns were guilty, because it was something I had to be certain of in my own mind - the idea of accusing parents of being involved in their own child's death is repellent and for my own conscience sake, I had to research the case from every angle - which I did.  Though I wouldn't accuse the parents, I certainly wasn't supporting them.  As for Amanda, Cherub and Henrydog* - they despised me!  And you really ought to do the research - Arthurblackdog? - I'll let her answer that herself!










*maybe not Henrydog - we used to have quite a giggle - while insulting each other

IANMS I am struggling to find a reason why you would nonchalantly drop that in your sentence.

That poster's very first post was to add CMOMM to the useful links thread, even before saying hello to us all.  So .. you get my drift

Yes we had noticed.  Also the username rather rings a bell
