Your post is so full of distortions and misconstructions and statements that just make no sense to me, it's hard to know where to begin.

(Just as an example, your statement...

People who are naive and think like children that everyone is good, need to grow up. People who have seen dead bodies and don't believe in fairy tales have already grown up.

...I mean, just whom exactly are you addressing with that straw man?)

Even so, I started out slogging away at a point-by-point refutation of your post. It got very long.

I started to include bits of information in defense of myself, such as the fact that I'm the mother of a U.S. military veteran (yes, I guess I am "OLD" enough for that, to refer back to one of your earlier swipes), as well as a traditionalist, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-Constitutionalist homeschooling mom whose most admired persons are Ronald Reagan, Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Ann Coulter.

But then I came to my senses: Why on earth was I bothering to try to refute, with logic and reason and civility, a poster who attacked me from the git-go by calling me a "liberal" and "someone who thinks Bush caused the terror bombings in London" ? ALL on the basis of precisely nothing.

With your kind of "logic" and "facts," why should any of us here put stock in any of your assertions about the NH case? Or your credibility as an "investigator" (which I have never pretended to be).

And I also remembered something I've had to say before to other abusive posters: This is not what FR was founded for. FR is supposed to be a place where we conservatives can post our own substantial comments and opinions about the political issues of the day, not a place for chit-chat or worse, personal agendas against other FReepers.

So I erased the whole reply and started over.

Now here's what I have to suggest to you and to all the other posters who take personal offense that other FReepers have an opinion different from yours about the Natalee Holloway case: Go start your own blog or forum and stop abusing FR, which doesn't belong to you, with your petty posts attacking other FReepers.

Then you can ping all of your little clique over to your own forum, where you can "control" all your own threads and insist that everyone march in lock-step with your opinion only. And then you can attack your own designated "trolls" to your hearts' content -- which is what some here, apparently, live for.

And now, back to the substance of the topic. Which is Natalee Holloway, not us.

Your response is not responsive to my post, which I made specific, at your request. Once again you fail to support your contentions, or answer my questions, but instead you go off on a tangential rant. I will correspondingly value your posts on their merit, not on "feelings" or rants, feel free to do the same for mine. My logic and facts have a proven track record. We do agree on one thing, you have never pretended to be an investigator...regards rs
