I hear you. I agree there is no reason to debate whether Dale is guilty or not....but we cannot discount the fact that he is the PRIME SUSPECT and most likely the person that made her disappear...so until either Dale is cleared as a suspect or we find Michelle, Dale should continue to be at front and center in any discussions as to where she may be. I have yet to see ONE other plausible scenario of how Michelle could have disappeared without Dale being involved. If such a scenario is possible, what happened? People don't just vanish into thin air.
This thread is about Michelle and finding her....she and Dale had a violent history together....so what did Dale do with her?
Jazz, if the idea is about finding Michelle I really don't see any strategy to do just that and I'm going to go back here to the list I've made on more then one occasion about things that
might be tried and it remains the case no one has commented on it.
Furthermore, no one has said, list of all me, that Dale should not be front and center
as you put it, only that
as far as I'm concerned, having spent a good part of two years on this issue, I really have nothing to say on the subject of Dale that I have not said at some point or another,
over and over again and I can't find anything more to say
unless something new has come up and provided that whatever substantive discussion on Dale is not yet another excuse,
in my view, for name calling, the general animosity toward him, the constant caricature representation of his life, and when just about everything that he did and does and even will in the future is something evil to be used to a never ending
piling on and that is not because I'd want to defend him or even because I like him, I don't, it's not even because I object to it from a moral standpoint but only because I don't find it particularly productive and in most cases a total waste of time where finding Michelle is the issue I care about, and to be clear,
I speak only for myself.
Now, to reinforce my point ... since
I'm not the arbiter of what people should say, when and under what conditions, I have no problem with people around here expressing whatever and never have, actually quite the contrary, I think
it's good to express whatever, I even understand it from a human and emotional point of view and as I said, there's much more that we agree that meets the eye, however I just can't defend anymore my participation in this
Dale-fest, on that I've said enough and in many cases more then I should have said to begin with, and that must be some sort of an understatement to anyone that has been on this thread for a while.
