I'm not willing to get into a freeforall here over my feelings post verdict about name calling. Re WS - it's a fact WS was read by the defense among other posters out there as I repeated see our comments reused on other sites. So while I don't think WS was wholly responsible for the defense, I can't see how we can avoid realizing our comments made a signifigant contribution. It's a bit like the case - take isolated events and they don't add up to guilt but the totality of it points to one thing only.
Your 2nd BBM completely ignores my overall comment. I have no intention of ignoring GA's contribution to the not guilty verdict. I never have and I never will.
Dr. Ablow apparently feels free to say whatever he wants, no matter what. I made a comment, a suggestion, and it was all IMO. That's it, that's all I wrote.
I believe the WS "live comments" thread that I also posted on during the jury selection, trial, the daily threads that opened in the a.m. during trial, shut down for lunch, and re-opened where we all gave our thoughts on the live testimony as it was happening, were being perused by the DT "live' during the trial, to see the perception was of what was going on in "real time". This site would CRASH often, especially on the days of CA/GA testimony, so that there were times I could not get on, MANY MANY people were reading this site during that trial. DS was CONSTANTLY looking at a computer, the wife of that serial killer (all I can remember is looking at her from "behind" one day in a bright red suit :floorlaugh:. her name escapes me ) sat right up in front during jury selection on her computer the whole time, JB was CONSTANTLY being fed something on his cell phone, he barely even tried hiding it after a while, it would be naive(sp?) for me to think otherwise.
Not even blaming us, that is just what the world has come to now, with all of the social media, FB, twitter, forums, etc., anyone can get the "pulse" of a situation in real time. and that Amy Singer just came right out and said that is what the DT was doing, along with mining all of the internet to see which way the wind was blowing on any given day. **Since JA said in his book that OCA told him that GA was the one who actually murdered little Caylee while molesting her, JB KNEW that would not fly at all (although the Pinellas 12 may have welcomed that even MORESO than his other hogwash), so he completely made up (IMO), after reading much written on the internet, WS had to be included as there was so much on here to read, the drowning story and found a very willing CA to dig up some photos and testify so they could be entered at trial (not going to EVEN use the word "
evidence" here about those photos, lol, I will be blasted out of here again :great: )
I FIRMLY believe this website was mined for very much info by the DT. Remember our thread, something along the lines, "what would you tell the DT to improve their case?", not quoting that name directly, can't remember the exact title, but they would be IDIOTS not to have read that. All of the general threads are available for the world to read, and IMO, the DT read here, simple as that. I expected nothing less from them, and I am sure they were reading wherever else intelligent people were discussing this case.
This is just how the world rolls at this time...... for years Presidential candidates and those in office took daily "Gallup" polls, sometimes hourly polls, to see where the wind was blowing and to take the "pulse" of the nation, world, etc., now they can just tweet about it and read follow-up tweets, FB forums, etc., etc., etc.
IMO, MOO, etc.
