Can I request that admin does not edit posts of members? I've just seen yet another edit of a post from horseydave which occurred some time after the original post. Unless one constantly goes back to read posts, such edits might be missed, and anyway it's not really on to edit members' posts in my opinion.

I am glad to see that you take this view, its a great pity that you did not take the same view, of the DPP editing the witness statements and later forwarding them for the police officers to sign...

You and others now know, that it was wrong for the DPP to do what they did, and then for the CCRC to refer to those witnessed statements as though they were more significant than the crime scene photographs which show that Sheila's body was moved and stage managed by the police...

Thank you for helping to make that point more poignant...

Nobody should be allowed to edit comments, or statements made by other people, without their knowledge, or consent, or permission...

Imagine the consequences, for Jeremy Bamber?

None of this explains why you edited another user's post.

-----------------------------

it has been explained elsewhere, but just to recap, I inadvertently pressed the "modify" button, instead of the "quote" button, on the console, which are side by side, or next to each other. The only difference being that where I posted my comments in response to the other [persons comments, instead of them being attached after a "Quote" symbol, my comments simply attached themselves after the comments of the other party, they were not inserted into the body of comment that person posted, and did not alter what that person said, unless you take the view that the attached comments made by me, were viewed as part of the original content...

Once the mistake was identified, I could have removed my comments altogether, or added in my details to show that the attached comments on the end of the posters comments were mine, not theirs...

I chose to leave my comments there, and added my name to them, so that the mistake which was made could be readily identified to everyone, as having been a genuine mistake...

It is not true that I edited anyones postings, in the sense that I changed anything anyone posted, but it is true that I added my comments as an attachment at the end of what someone else said, or I may have attached an image in the same way...

I pressed the "modify" button, instead of the "quote" button, when posting - this mistake will not happen again, and there is nothing further I can say about it...

Phew.. just as well you explained that Mike... there could have been all types of theories flying around before long as to what actually happened. ;)

What happened to the thread about the interview with DS Stan Jones on BBC Essex?

I am sure I read it yesterday morning.

Did anyone else read it and can anyone find it now?

Not really an open forum given the very heavy commnets on Essex Police and how they handle the investigation having statrted on the theory of Sheila with a gun........ as provided by Jeremy?

Will there be a response to why a thread has been removed?

I think some clarification is needed on this forum as to the purpose of it. I mention this to someone a while ago in that I was concerned that by raising issues and questioning the evidence that was posted I was maybe opening debate that this site wasn't catering for as its linked to a JB's innocent website.

Is this a forum for open discussion or is it a place to post if you think JB is innocent?

I'm undecided.. Theres part of the case that are very worrying.

It's not clear to me who actually runs this site. Mike Tesko is admin on the forum but who actually runs the whole site, and who writes the stuff on it?

I haven't seen anyone on the forum who has argued that Jeremy is guilty. I've seen people question his guilt and I've seen people question Sheila's guilt, but the majority of posters here seem to believe Jeremy is innocent and don't really question any of the posts which support that theory.

Editing should only be carried out to prevent libel or public offense, with notes added to correct facutal errors.

JB's supporters should not be afraid of contrary evidence or non-partisan interpretations. His team's task is to find new evidence and counter old evidence in a logical way that can be tested and stand up to the scrutiny of judges and peers alike. Shouting 'frame-up' will not release him from prison, nor will preaching to the already converted.

They need to persuade doubters, not insult them. I haven't read anything that indicates this site has been invaded by JB haters, nor does it appear to be overly prurient. Those of us not waving flags are here because we are concerned, because truth and justice matter to us.

One man lost his freedom for a quarter of a century and five people died. It matters!

Thank you! I like your posts too.

I'm still 50/50 about it all, but I'm not blinkered and I don't just automatically accept what others say. I think it's important not to do that because an appeal will not succeed if it's based on half truths, misunderstandings, and speculation.

50/50 with 20/20 vision is a good place to be.

Wherever the truth lies, do think this must be one of the most mis-managed investigations ever and that, for me, seriously questions the legitimacy of a whole life tariff.
