I do not think he is naive and I do not think he is blindly believing anything. I never used those words. I said I think he is desperate (which anyone in his position would be). Desperate people are far more vulnerable in these situations, and actually I think the Fred worked very hard over the years to not be a vulnerable person, but after 12 years and no help from LE, it much easier for a man in his position to see someone like Smith as their last hope.
I think you are right about this, Fireweed. John Smith wants to save the day and Fred is desperate for anything to happen. That Fred seems willing to talk to John Smith is more than any other blogger has been able to accomplish so far. For that, I give John some credit. Even so, I take what John Smith says with a grain of salt. I had a short exchange with him on another site. It was not about Maura, different subject, but he was full of conspiracies about that too. It seems to be his nature to be suspicious and he's a bit of a know-it-all too. It makes it hard to take him seriously. In that respect, John is no different IMO than some of the others who have attached themselves to this case.
Until there's some evidence to back up John's claims, I simply don't care about his theories or Renner's either, for that matter. Rumors and speculation may keep a few people's attention on a blog, but has it ever helped bring answers to Maura's disappearance? Borrowing from Pettibon Junction up thread: any "self-appointed expert" who tries to shut down a discussion about Maura is trying too hard to promote their own agenda and that doesn't belong in a missing person's case. IMO
Does it really matter whether Maura's car hit a tree or a snowbank?
Thanks to all who have spoken out about the many egos trying to dictate the discussion on Maura.
All just MHO...
