Motivations of Forum Members

[killingeve]

As you know I'm fairly new to this forum and as such I am interested in understanding the motivations of members.  For example I have observed the following:

MEMBER         DATE OF JOINING       TIME SPENT ON LINE                    AVERAGE POSTS PER DAY

Mike Tesko     30.11.10                    65 days, 13 hrs, 36 mins              21.388

NGB1066        26.02.11                    50 days, 18hrs, 43 mins               4.626

Grahame        10.09.11                     17 days, 9hrs, 50 mins                 14.886

Egap1            02.02.12                     1 day, 9hrs, 50 mins                     2.667

DV8                29.02.12                    1 day, 1hr, 27 mins                       39.333

I will start by asking one of the newest members, DV8, the following to get the discussion underway:

1. In less than 4 days you have spent over 6 hours a day on the forum.  Why are you prepared to give so much of your time to discuss the case?

2. Would you describe yourself as altruistic?

3. Are you involved with any other forums/political causes/charities?

4. Your average post count per day is 39.333.  You obviously feel that you have a lot to contribute and I don't doubt for one moment that you do contribute a lot.  However, I am interested in understanding your intense interest/passion in the case?

Wow that must have taken a while. Less intense interest more off work with a leg injury from Rugby. I suggest you, from your post, have a more intense interest than I!

That date for joining is wrong as regards myself. I was a member long before that date as I resigned and ngb persuated me with great difficulty to agree to come back.

No secret here, stumbled upon this case in the news & it fascinated me, I'm a film maker and decided to make a documentary about it.

Mind if I ask how long your project is likely to take Gunga?

The case has always fascinated me as along with many others,I have never been convinced that Jeremy is indeed guilty.I definately do not agree that he had a fair trial.
I am not 100% convinced of Jeremys innocence,however,I am 100% convinced that he did not  personally carry out the murders.

Can I ask what it is about the case that fascinates you, Gunga? To me, it's more like an addiction. I've never met Jeremy Bamber, never written to him, but I can't bear the injustice of him being imprisoned for so long without a fair trial. I feel the same for others in his position too, but Jeremy's case has become a particular interest because I know more about this than I do about other cases.

[grahameb]

I have always been interested in this case. When I first heard the verdict I remember saying to my wife, "How on earth could he be convicted upon such flimsy evidence?" I have always believed it was a miscarriage of justice and have never seen any new evidence that makes me change my mind. On the contrary the fact that so much was held back from the jury has convinced me the more that he is innocent. Furthermore added to my belief in his innocence I believe that EP has a lot to answer for in that they have held onto so much evidence that could have gotten Jeremy a not guilty verdict. My motive is that I hate injustice and Bamber has been the victim of injustice which it seems to me has been gilded again and again at every appeal.

Tyler that is about spot on where I am right now

[JackiePreece]

An interesting fact the government guy and his wife that are going on trial have apparently instructed a barrister at £20,000 a day and we have got Neil seven days a week for free

How lucky are we!!!

[Gunga]

Can I ask what it is about the case that fascinates you, Gunga?

Sure. I think it's the amount of information for the case and the lack of evidence that Bamber did it. I was open mouthed whilst reading it all.

OMG you are EVERYWHERE 

Have you come across any innocent people yet wichfinder?

[mertol22]

I was a couple of years younger than Jeremy when i heard on the news about the events on the night in question, with the internet years away and computers still primitive its unlikely any form of debate was possible then,only when people come to reason and accept the world is not all it seems we may unfold the real answers ,mikes forum is providing such steps.

[Aunt Agatha]

I first got in contact around the time of his first Appeal.

I remained in contact with him regularly, until this case was picked up by others.

Have written to him, visited him, had photo's taken of him/us.....

Have been around almost 20 years.

One is now grey and very old....with a stoop!
