I imagine 'Mat' knew you would smell a rat Maggie...
Hum - maybe Oncesaid would like to explain what they meant... Seems a bit OTT to me..
Yes, I thought that journalists or the police paying individuals to cause disruptions on miscarriage of justice public forums sounded a bit far fetched, but nothing would suprise me anymore due to the lengths that the press will go to for a story, or the depths that the police will go to to cover themselves and ensure that the finger points away from them.
Here is the post where I first mentioned it.

It would be tragic if this forum was to close down. As always it is the miscarriage of justice victim and their families, as well as their supporters that are the ones who will lose out, due to the trolls. This is what they do. Go from one moj forum to the next, causing disruption and playing one member off against another until no one can trust anyone.
If this was a craft forum or gardening forum it wouldn't matter as forums like that would recover as little damage would be done by the trolls but due to this forum and others being involved in miscarriages of justice the damage is so great.
I was told a long time ago that there is people who are paid to cause this type of disruption within the miscarriage of justice world, divide and conquer being their aim. The purpose being that if supporters and families are being kept busy with the trolls it is less time being spent on individual cases. Also to get everyone arguing with each other so that individuals will retreat, as the less people involved in moj, the better. Trolls also set people up with different scenarios hoping their target will fall for their plan, and before you know it the tabloids get a hold of it.
We all know who is behind it all, with his numerous usernames and ip addresses. He has tried with every moj forum on the internet. He has done on this form exactly what he tried to do on others, the only difference being that on this forum he was tolerated much more for a longer period of time, under his many different usernames.
To moderate this forum would be a full time job with the amount of trolls and troublemakers on it, the moderators tried their best but it became unmanageable lately and I dont think anyone can be blamed for that. It would be a very sad day if all the hard work on this site is destroyed due to John Lamberton and his hangers on.
Mike whatever you decide to you, I just want to say that you are worth a thousand times more than John Lamberton. I can't wait till the day he get his comeuppance.
Whatever you decide, you deserve respect and credit for everything you have done on this forum.
