Perhaps it should be called constrained speech instead.

Perhaps it should be called "say what you want, but expect the consequences of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded cinema just for fun" speech.

Free speech should not include slander, libel, making things up to sell papers, etc etc.

It's amazing (imho) that some of the people who think that anyone should be allowed to say anything against the McCanns are sometimes the ones who also think that the a-holes who protested against the Anglians should be silenced - go figure.......

Some of the comments on the jade goody thread have been nastiness for the sake of it and with absolutely no basis in fact just complete personal dislike of her. Most of the comments regarding the mc'cans have come from the fact that they neglected their kids in the first place which allowed one to be abducted and then the way they came across to many people which wasn't very good. Also the complete lack of acceptance on their part certainly early on in all this also got them a lot of hostility and got tempers rising the two are not comparable.

I am not saying i found some of the comments about the mc'cans on certain sites very acceptable and some were out and out wrong but at the end of the day the mc'cans played a part in creating the atomosphere that other issues havn't and that has to be remembered and taken into account. For many who see gerry mc'can as the "blame everyone but myself" sort of person that he has at times come across as this latest statement about internet users has got the old tempers going again.

Big issues amongst believers n non believers, "the parents go out for dinner or make some freak break in and snatch her - of all things that went wrong u managed to fit in a freak." somthing against ur comment, the way u phrased it. are you a scientologist?

Are you trying to say that the person that took her was in some way normal then?

Not that it has anything to do with this topic but I am not a scientologist, I am pretty much Godless, although I do find myself defending religion on a regular basis on this forum.........

The scientologist thing was all just a joke, even i call my self religious but i am hardly in church. I pray to GOD in the manner of believing that he does exist and that's coz av been brought up in that manner. Regarding the disappearance there doesn't seem to be sufficient evidence that she was taken by some one.

Given an apparent inability of a number of people to head the requests of the Team, and the fact that I honestly don't believe we're going to make it through another day without more infrractions having to be issued, I'm going to close this now.
