dave 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Should we create a thread about the missing girl in Portugal or would that considered to be in bad taste as we all hope she is found alive and well? I have to admit I feel a bit sick and guilty at having even posted this,but lets face it we have to prepare for the worst,just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted May 14, 2007 Personally, yes, it's in very bad taste but MPFC's "joke" on the other thread was far worse & really not necessary. The thing is, Madelaine doesn't really fit into any categories of suitability for the DL, I guess, so it's not as if she can be a real "candidate" anyway... But if you are going to start a thread about her then spell the little poppet's name right!!!!!! It's McCann, not McGann. Let's hope & pray she'll be alright.

Windsor 2,235 Posted May 14, 2007 I was thinking of putting her in Room 101 (no I don't have her). To be honest I'm getting fed up of it all. I keep getting emails to forward and people I know have been getting text messages to forward. The front page of the paper showed some teen girl tying yellow ribbons to railings in a part of the worl that bears no significance to the missing girl. It's annoying me. I think it's most annoying to me probably because I don't understand why people do it. They say it's for hope. Well sorry, but hope isn't going to help. Sending chain mail by email or text is not going to help. Tying yellow ribbons is not going to help her either! The thing that annoys me further is that there is almost an obligation to forward these messages. As if people like me should feel guilty for not doing the aforementioned things. Well sorry - I have nothing to feel guilty about. At the end of the day, I was not the one who left my 3 year old daughter unsupervised in a foreign land. The whole thing stinks! Who actually thinks she is still alive? If anything the added media interest has made the abductor get rid of her asap. She is now so famous (if you can call her that) that walking around with her would be too risky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 126 Posted May 14, 2007 Tell you what, iain. This thread is a very bad idea, not only because it's sick and distasteful, but also bvecause it will attract ranters. That's why I'm locking it, and giving you a warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
