*sigh*
It seems like only yesterday the papers were one-upping each other with ‘proof’ that the McCanns killed little Madeleine. Now they’re all falling over each other with ‘proof’ that she’s alive.
Septicisle offers you this glimpse into the future.

I was not offended by Sceptisle's post. I was impressed enough to copy and paste it in full on my Justice For Madeleine blog and Justice4Madeleine forum. The blog reaction is mute, whereas on the forum its been fireworks. Even the link to Sceptisle was removed from The Three Aguidos forum, and earlier they had censored the title of one of my posts "Madeleine: Naked on the alter in the Temple of Truth". It was deemed offensive by some. In my view, the title is innocent. Madeleine is the topic, followed by a colon, and the naked is the bare truth.It is getting where one of two claim to be offended and censorship kicks in.Paul Foot used words as weapons. The McCanns and their spokesman have done likewise. Whilst the MSM is pussyfooting around in this fiasco, perhaps the new media should push the boundaries?

You need to be more conscious of how and where you push, John. Blogging something isn't the same as posting to a forum, just for starters.This was a bit of an ambush, IMO:http://tinyurl.com/6r4ugj
