i agree, what do they gain by smearing someone in this position? does it make them feel better about themselves in some way?

To be totally turhtful... no, I think FNC was looking for a reason to call Greta back.

Then you agree? My clue was last night's show when she covered other cases. I said to my husband "this case is going too cold to keep Greta on site."

But remember to watch her show tonight regardless -- part two of her interview with Beth recounting that horrible day.

I hope they show part 2. I'm afraid they won't cover Aruba at all tonight.

I "think" Greta's show will air part two, primarily because Greta will either not be in the studio to host it -- or she'll have just arrived and will need to "fill' her show --- assuming of course, that London coverage isn't continuous.

Carol McKinley could be down there.

She usually does the daytime reports.

Ok then how about responding to my previous comments instead of posting and running?

Well I'm back for a short few minutes before I have to start dinner. You see, it isn't that I "post and run." More accurately it's that I post and then I have to leave. Some of us here do have a life.

And tell me please what you've posted to me, that I haven't responded to.

Uh don't forget deep in the Hurtgen Forest...

So you want to do a little FReeper reminiscing too. No, I haven't forgotten ditHF, but those threads weren't something I ever got involved in. Are you one of the ones who got taken in by that?

contrary to your opinion I believe at least one of them knows her ultimate fate and possibly murdered her.

Hmm, I don't remember ever saying it was impossible that one of the boys had murdered her. Actually, I've said I think that IS a possibility, although the time line for that theory seems problematic. (And Mark Fuhrman has also expressed that opinion. Is he a "liberal" who needs to "grow up" too?)

What I do remember is stating that it's possible none of those three boys know of Natalee's ultimate fate.

Wouldn't you agree that it can be a bad idea to get too wedded to one basic theory, to the exclusion of others? (I guess not -- some here seem to have formed their pet theories, and like a dog with a bone, they won't let go. And oooooh, they growl at anyone who has a different idea! And call them ...TROLLS! Or, "thread hijackers." Gosh, I thought this forum was owned by Jim Robinson, not by the self-appointed thread police.)

The fact that investigators seemed to be getting nothing helpful out of these boys could, just maybe, lead a rational person to think there might be good reason to more aggressively pursue other leads. (Btw, I believe Greta expressed a similar opinion. Does Greta need to "grow up," too?)

sounds like you and Rippersnapper are old friends!

Reading back some posts, I saw that Rippersnapper says he's been a lurker for a long time. I don't know how I could have known him as a lurker. I mean, by definition, lurkers don't post. Maybe you can 'splain that to me, too. (And nooooooooooo, contrary to some of the hilarious speculation I've seen here, we're not the same person. Perhaps in the fevered minds of the paranoid, their imagined antagonists blend into one monster.)

Your unrealistic IMO liberal thoughts you have expressed on the Natalee case...

Now what would be "liberal thoughts" regarding the Natalee case? Please do explain, I'm very curious about that.

But if I don't reply to you soon, don't think I'm "running." It's just that I'm going to...make dinner. (And then enjoy it with my family, and sit down and watch Greta etc. with my family, go to bed right after that because I have to get up early to take son to band camp. You know, have a life.)

Hellooooooooooooooooo. If you had read ALL the posts you would know that I am not the only one on these threads that has commented on their own experiences and what they would or wouldn't have done!

This isn't "True Confessions".

"if you consider yourself shipmate to Rip you should announce it properly".

I don't have to explain why I agree with anyone about anything...and neither should anyone else.

Rip chose poor wording in saying Beth acted like a B*tch and has admitted it. AND I was on Rip's back for that as well as the rest of you all.

OTOH, Rip doesn't march in lock step with the majority of opinions of my dear friends on this thread. I feel like I am in the middle, and for what? My own husband disagrees with me about the Kalpoe brothers, won't give them a break and thinks they are guilty as sin... and that is "cool with me.". It's just a discussion for crying out loud.

I hate to see this turned into another Schiavo type thread. Every one of us wants to find Natalee.

I agree completely! :) On all points but wanted to emphasize that that is the most important part!
