I think we all have to do what we gotta do so that this forum gets back on track. This is afterall the Jeremy Bamber forum and we have to respect that.
I also think that we all have to respect that people have different views and opinions as to who may be a miscarriage of justice, or not. There are some members on this forum who eat sleep and breathe the injustice when a miscarriage of justice occurs and unless you have been affected you will never know the devastating consequences it has on everyone involved. Can I ask that members do not allow miscarriage of justice individual threads to go off topic, or be allowed to become disruptive. It is vital that information related to cases is able to be seen by the public but people don't want to have to trawl through unrelated posts to get to it. It is only fair having researched the case in full, if someone believes that a miscarriage of justice has not occurred that they give their reasons if they are going to comment on a case. If people were more tolerant of each other, and respected each others opinions, whether they agreed with them or not, it doesnt need to end up in a slanging match.
There are many people who think that if a miscarriage of justice has occurred then it is likely to be a one off and it must have been down to human error with no malice intended. There are also many who believe that this is a load of nonsense. All we can do is give people information, and if they are truly interested they will read everything available before they dismiss that a person is potentially innocent or guilty as charged.
When you truly believe that a persons/s has been wrongly convicted and voice your opinion, you leave yourself wide open to abuse and being labelled a child killer supporter, a beast supporter etc. Unfortunately it comes with the territory, sad but true. If the name callers actually knew the moj supporters, or knew more about them they would come to realise that we would not support a murderer in any shape or form if we believed that that person was guilty. I genuinely believe that people who think someone has suffered from a miscarriage of justice has researched the case, and continue to search for updates, many are also privvy to priviledged information, whereas the majority of people who think the conviction is safe, have not put as much effort into their research. Trolls are also a nuisance and do so much damage that they should be given no room to manoevre, and should be kicked off as soon as it is obvious what their game is. I just can't understand where these people get all the spare time and why they can't get themselves something worthwhile to do rather than troll internet forums.
Some people from both sides may be openminded and willing to have their minds changed if evidence is shown to them to sway their current view, whilst there are others who will never changed their mind no matter what is provided to them. There's not much that can be done about that unfortunately.
We are different people, coming from different backgrounds, with a vast amount of knowledge and experience between us, but we also have oppossing views at times which is always going to be a bumpy ride, but if the forum were to have continued in the way it was going, it would probably have eventually ground to halt and the greatest loss in all of this would have been to Jeremy Bamber and the other miscarriage of justice cases which are highlighted on this site.
I know this announcement has come about due to much more than a few disgreements between members on threads and I admire what the mods are attempting to do and I will not make their job anymore difficult. Anyway, just thinking out loud and wanted to comment on a few things.
