New post on blog. Quite interesting

VERY good !

Tigger, will you have to publicly out all the socks, one by one, to try to affect a cure ?

OMG! Mr Bennett has libelled the wrong Martin Smith. Will CMOMM members be allowed to comment on this without being immediately banned?

What??? ..      I must go and have a read

Have I got this right? The Mr Smith with golfing companies who is a former army officer is not the Mr Smith who claims to have seen a man with a child in PDL on 3rd May 2007?

Excellent stuff Tigger.

So after all that, TB has got it so wrong again.

Words escape me with that man.

Exactly! Tigger states she is in touch with golfing Mr Smith and that he has demanded that Mr Bennett remove the libellous material.

Or is Tigger making this all up? Can we believe anything posted on the internet?

I can't wait to hear Mr Bennett's response to Tigger's blog.

Yep! I'm obviously not publishing emails but that is the unvarnished truth. I've minimised details on the wrong Smith as much as possible as I wouldn't want the wrong combination of words (e.g. the name of his company and the word 'lies' ) to be too easy to Google. Otherwise it will have the opposite effect I intend.

I've had this information for over two months, unusually patient

I echo Antonia's words after reading that blog Tigger...... OMG   

The wrong Smith....

Tigger               This is a "Revelation Moment"                        OMG indeed.

Jeez, man dear, holy hell I'm speechless! Huge thumbs up Tigger, just shows no one should ever jump to conclusions too soon. I've always believed Martin and his family, very brave what they reported.

Tigger

Have you had any contact with the real Mr Smith, the one who reported seeing a man carrying a child?

It appears Mr Bennett has libelled the two Mr Smiths who live in the Drogheda/Dundalk area. And perhaps there are more Martin Smiths; as Tigger says at the start of her blog its such a common name. So there could be lots of solicitors letters on their way to Mr Bennett.

As this is on open forum I'd rather not go into details. The wrong Mr. Smith doesn't live anywhere near Drogheda. 

i live in hope as the real Martin Smith has in the past taken action against misinformation in the press. I have pointed this out to TB in one of the Smith topics.

Eta:it's also very much a matter of the right to privacy  of all the Smiths, so for me the main aim is that libellous  comments concerning both families will cease at last. As TB was starting on Smith topic nr. 4 I felt it was time as he was already aware of  the damage he has done to the business Smith, yet continued to post on the 'original' Smith.

Tigger, not sure whether you feel you can respond to this or not

Does the witness family Smith own the property at Estrela de Luz (as referred to by HWMBO), or is it the other Smith ?

It says in the blog that the other Mr Smith (not the witness) has never been to PDL so can be assumed I think not to have a holiday home there.

Thanks.

Have we had any reaction yet from TB yet re this revelation from Tigger?

Thetruth wrote:Thanks.

That is in the PJ statements - that Mr. Smith co-owns the apartment. (Not 'owns' as in TBs posts). 

The 'wrong'  Mr.S has never been to PdL in his life.



Eta: I believe it was Blacksmith who said that TM are fair game, they've courted publicity, they put themselves on a public platform, whereas the Smith family simply did their duty as citizens. They never asked for publicity or tried to use it for gain.

One really has to wonder, why TB is so keen on dismissing [and libeling] the Smiths [be they the real ones or the wrong ones]. The mind boggles. He's written so much about it by now, that he could turn into a book ... Let's hope, that both use their legal rights and get him corrected.

That's my thought too and it's a question that I don't recall being answered. Why is it so imperative to dismiss the Smith sighting at all costs, discounting and discrediting the whole family?

Will say it again.

For financial reasons to assist TM.

Only explanation.

IMO.

Well done Tigger.

This bit might have to be deleted. Deleted -  Mr Smith may you go forth and sue.



Why would anyone create socks and have conversations with them. In my world, that alone, is deleted territory. (Unless done for the laughs). With the rest of his antics being generally off the scale.

It has become such an obsession hasn't it?      All the Polls hoping to confirm one person's opinion.       I do find it quite worrying really.

Trying to be magnanimous, I can only put it down to a simple case of mistaken identity (but not excusable for that).
     
But to have managed to libel an innocent person (and quite possibly a whole family) continually in what seems a desire to influence others on such a serious matter, it's just unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.

The "real" Smiths, who always seemed to me to be  a retiring couple unwittingly involved, have shown exemplary patience from what I can gather.

I think you have done remarkably well Tigger, and in a strange way been very brave in quietly following up a subject you felt was very wrong.
If only there were more like you in this world.

All of course in my own humble opinion,   but three    for the indomitable  Tigger.

'Tannerman' apparently reported to the Leicestershire police in 2007 but they forgot to tell anyone !
So why hasn't 'Smithman' come forward ?

Maybe its because he was up to no good.Thats the more important question.
