I wonder how all the idiots who abused you feel after the latest news with the child’s parents named as suspects. I know – the police are wrong, “callus” and ignorant too. You never said a truer word than when you commented on the media frenzy. I am still waiting for some one, anyone to tell me why this child is given so much media attention and there is none for other children who are missing. Also why Diana’s death was worth the media frenzy and Mother Teresa a much, much lesser reporting. When I think of the good that Mother Teresa did compared to Diana, I just don’t understand it. But then Mother Teresa did not seek out media attention and glory. Is there anyone out there who knows how the media select the stories they are going to “run with”?

Well, I for for one appreciated your reasonable viewpoint but I didn’t know there were so many biased, nasty people out there. It’s a scary world we live in. Keep up your interesting comments etc.

Here's another couple of good ones; again demonstrating that failing to read or understand what someone has written is no reason not to send them abusive messages:

Why on earth would you put this shite on internet?? Even if you do believe it.. it is in no way helpful or useful. Would it have hurt you to keep your self obsessive opinion to yourself or at least not put it on the internet. I actually think its quite warped of you"Teresa Greeb"

I'm presuming that "Greeb" is a spelling mistake and it's meant to be that joke name "Teresa Green", so I doubt their email address is valid either.

i really think you are a cold blooded son of a bitch. i hope you one day regret what you have put on this site regarding madeleine mccann. that poor family are going through hell and god only knows what poor madeleine is going through.Michelle Whellans

Well Michelle, I think poor Madeleine is probably dead. Which, if you'll remember I described as an unpleasant thing and something I'd be glad to be wrong about. I'm not sure what I've got to regret; after all I've already said I'd love to see her returned to her family. But of course you either didn't read that bit or conveniently ignored it, didn't you? However, I must apologise: it wasn't my intention to offend emotional cripples who are unable to face facts; if you do fall into this category then please accept my humble apologies. I was simply trying to make comment about the media frenzy.

You have a lot more patience than I, a simple two word phrase with the second word being “off” would have been my response

i really do envy these people.
they obviously have no larger problems in their lives than worrying about other peoples opinions

Can people not read (on top of not being able to type)? Or are they just incapable of grasping concepts set out in the written word? You are entitled to your opinions…last time I looked we lived in a (pseudo-)democracy. I suppose they are also entitled to their opinions, but slagging someone off on their own blog without any reasoned counter-argument or evidence is just lame.

Wankers the lot of them.

i bet these people watch late night tv programmes containing violence / swearing / sex from start to finish and then write letters complaining about the content.

Well, I’d like to go firmly on record that I have never laughed at your self-importance. Giggled, yes. Chuckled — possibly. Laughed? Never! That would be callus.

Frustrating stuff to be dealing with, to be sure…
