Can you backdate fb pages? It says founded on nov 19? wth
In truth, when Phil originally offers the poly, MR agrees to it. That is MR's doing . He could have at that point said I dont think so, my lawyer said not to, I already took one, etc. But he did not. He said OK I'll take one. Then the mess began. So I'm not going to fault Phil for badgering someone to do something AFTER they made a declaration that they WOULD do it. At that point, you heard Phil at the end of the show, thanking the poly dude for 'putting his life on hold' to fly over at the last moment to give this very important poly, not tonight, maybe tomorrow,,,,,, and then it not happening. Phil had to pay that guy for his time I'm sure . So I don't see it as Phil badgered. Did he do some other badgering during the show? Probably yes, but as far as I could tell, it was all trying to tie MR down to ......one ANSWER, one STATEMENT, one ANYTHING that he could be held accountable for, but there was no such answer or statement given. That was as the dh likes to say a " soup sandwich". Just try to hold it in your hands !
I understand what you are saying, I really do, and I respect your opinion.
I just think it is important to look at how Dr. Phil may have manipulated public sentiment.
I have seen him manipulate other situations before in similar ways... he brings people onto TV, they know they will be seen by millions of viewers... and they think they are there for one thing, but then Dr. Phil turns it into an interrogation... and so there they are, suddenly on the hot seat and feeling blind-sided, and trying to react without coming off as the monster that Dr. Phil is making them out to be. And Dr. Phil is a master manipulator, no doubt about it. I just think it is unfair.
And do you not think that is manipulation when Dr. Phil goes on about the poly dude putting his life on hold, yada, yada... that is all just inciting dislike for the father, and moulding public opinion.
Please understand, it is not my intent to defend Dylan's father against any suspicions/criticisms/anger that anyone on this thread feels for him. I could not make an informed decision on that one way or the other. And my opinion of Dr. Phil's approach to this family, this father and this situation will not change even if it is proven that the father was responsible for Dylan's disappearance, or worse... though I pray that this boy is alive somewhere out there.
I just wanted to point out that it is always good to question motives and that extends not only to the persons involved in the case, but to the source of the information that we receive... and I think Dr. Phil's motives here are indefensible. And the fact that he capitalized on the emotions of a family in such distress is just beyond horrible, IMO.
But all just MOO.
I don't know about that. He took the initial test from LE.
Which we don't know if it was failed or inconclusive because we don't know if Mark is telling the truth about those results. It isn't able to be used in a criminal case, and to be honest would tell us why the police have not pointed fingers is because they can not clear MR, nor do they have any indications that he has done anything. Master manipulator. All this being MOO
I wasn't in the middle of the fence but I went from 95% to 100%. No doubt in my mind whatsoever. NONE! And I don't say that lightly.

Lets go with this. The reason this guy looks guilty or like he has done something is because of his behavior. His attitude. His actions or non actions. No one is helping him look any way. He is the father of a missing child and I don't see it. I don't see the worry, The fear the pain, I see him worried about him and him and more him.
I think of the fathers we have seen, Elizabeth Smarts father, Kyron Horman's father, Many many fathers that may not be perfect people but when their children are missing they are right there.
Last week, My 5 yr old went missing for 30 mins. It was the most terrifying 30 mins of my life. It was dark and cold and we thought he had run outside of a family party and could not find him. My husband was running around that neighborhood, AS were all the men in the party. I was out front on the phone with police and crying and getting help from a neighbor to stay steady and get information to them,
Just that taste of it, Makes you realize what it feels like and what you would do if your child was missing. I can not explain the fear, panic and helplessness.
I can not imagine what it feels like 3 months later. But if someone had offered me a show to find my son, I would have use that time to beg for info about my son.
This man made it about him. He won't give answers, He won't take the LDT and clear himself. He won't help DP. He is in his only little, THIS IS ABOUT ME world.
Dr. Phil did not make Mark look bad. Mark made Mark look bad.
I don't know about that. He took the initial test from LE.
Mark , is that you !
MR should not have taken the polygraph when it was clear he was extremely upset. Glad that he didn't.
Of course, I didn't think he should go on the show at all. Just had a feeling that ER would not ask him questions, but only make accusations against him.
CR was a real work of art on that show.
