"The damage that I got for just wanting to support people wanting to find the truth, was beyond imagination, and in the end I found that all I was doing was supporting a nest of sickness, hate, stress and hungry egos that were using the Maddie case, and taking advantage of many good people to fill their empty lives...If you wanna ask anything, I'll say the truth and only the truth form my point of view... "
What is likely to be my last contribution to this site now that Clay has taken over the reigns is to conclude what I originally set out to do, to get to the truth behind the 3 Arguidos. To get access to the particular people or information that is needed has taken time, just under twelve months I think it is now. I have always said that such things do take time and whereas some have called into question the ethics behind some of the strategies we have carried out to get at people or encouraged them to talk to the team or I, we have never employed means or activities that are illegal.
In the next few days I hope to close the book on 3 Arguidos by publishing for the first time the actual truths behind it's operational mandate employed from the top down starting with Brenda Ryan and eagerly carried out by Vanessa Sluming. Many questions remain unanswered and it these outstanding issues that I hope to address including the end days of the site.
These so called forum wars have gone on as long as Madeleine McCann has been missing and because of the deep scars that run in the community they are likely to remain opposed. My opinion is that given this particular case and how it debated on the web, there will never be a satisfactory solution, not between those that currently stand against one another. Too much has simply been wielded in this war at the expense of families, of friends and all in the name of a missing child who was lost to most the moment the first attack on a community member took place.
People will disagree about this highly emotive and charged subject, but it has always been the way in which they disagree and how they have reacted afterwards. What has become evident to me and has been for some time are that there are two different approaches to the debate, those that are tired of these wars and the fighting, and those that sustain it. Forums are debased as soon as someone promoting the aggression arrives. The ones that have remained successful in keeping the debate about Madeleine going are the ones that have employed measures to ensure that such people never get in, or are quickly removed once identified.
The divisions will remain. At least you will have the truth on which to make draw your conclusions on.
I'm sure Clay will continue the great work here.
