That's about right, what he said.

I think he should stay off the air, because the more he's on, the more we see the real TM, not just the myth that his supporters believe. I wish I could say what I truly want to say, but it could get me banned if not sued. I'll just say that I believe TM has "issues" that, if known, may explain away some of his inconsistencies and his poor, pitiful me demeanor. Even though some may not believe this - I don't have anything against TM as a person. What I do object to is his being elevated to saintly status. IMO, JMO, MOO.I just don't understand why he keeps going on the talk shows if he doesn't want to. Didn't he say a few days ago he would not go back on NG? And then last night he's there talking about Lenny and doing all the things you mentioned.

LP's search of the waters at BP are going forward...so am I the only one on this board who realizes that LP still has a green light to do so, regardless of what transpired yesterday?
LP's search permits were not, I repeat, not yanked by the park authority - and you can bet your bottom dollar that if something hadn't been right in the state of Denmark after yesterday that he wouldn't be searching again today.
Like LP or not, he's still the ONLY one out there doing the dirty work with his team.
I watched the show last night and am upset by what I heard of the exchange involving TM and LP. I am upset with Nancy Grace because she did not handle it very well.
I have tremendous respect for TES and Tim Miller. Most of his searches are without press or media coverage on the national level. TM does not care if it is in the press or not - he is doing what he believes in and has been very successful at it. It really is disappointing that some people who were so supportive of TM is so against him now. That is one of the reasons I am not posting much.
IF Padilla wanted to do this search for the right reasons, he could have done it differently. He could have roped off the area where the divers were going in and out of the water and kept the public at a safe distance. He could have waited to announce the finding of anything until the proper authorities had been called. But he made statements before the OCSO got there. This should not have been done, IMO. Padilla is, as he stated himself, a media.
Now I am giving myself a time out because I cannot bear all of the back and forth that is going on. LP is a bounty hunter. TM is a professional search and rescue person and I have great regard for him.
JMO

I SOOOOOOO agree with everything you've said. How TM got elevated to god-like status is beyond me. I have nothing against him - I just don't think he's a god. Yes he has suffered a tragic loss - haven't we all?
Tim comes across as such a sad sack. The way he was theatrically placing his head in his hands, covering his eyes, covering his mouth, shaking his head, etc. when Leonard was speaking just annoyed the h*** out of me. I think he plays up the poor, downtrodden, tragic figure to gain sympathy and evidentally quite a following.
He does these searches with money from contributions. He's not using his own money. TM is a travelling searcher who finances his travelling and searching using other people's money. That's all he is when you get right down to it.
This post will probably get me banned, and as always it's just MOO.

WHOA--- we think so much alike it is scary. I woke up this morning thinking I was probably banned for my comments last night. But....I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
Do you have a link to LP having search permits? I was not aware of that.
I have great respect for Tim, and I still think he is an honorable man. With that said, here are some observations of my own:
LP did not say one bad word against Tim... not even when he was bashed by Tim and two of the attornies on NG.
Tim has mentioned on every appearance of NG's show how much money he has spent on these searches. LP has never once mentioned how much money he has spent and lost.
Tim claimed that he (TES) has spent more money on these searches for Caylee than in any case he's been on. Not true, he has been to Aruba 8 times, and spent a month there the first time searching... with no success.
And I might add... he is the one who called Dave Holloway to report that they found Natalee, and then had to eat his words when it turned out he was wrong. (This was during that last ocean search... the one that cost the owner of that boat over a million bucks.)
Now, my opinions may not count for anything, but I am puzzled by his statements, as I was puzzled when he so suddenly called off the search last weekend. A lot of people drove for many miles to help only to find out that it was cancelled by that afternoon. I don't blame people for being disillusioned, and upset with Tim. He made a lot of claims that he didn't fulfill. He aligned himself with Mr. Nejame and the Anthonys and he jumped to conclusions without knowing all the facts. And this, after LP praised him and TES many times on t.v. and was responsible for getting donations to TES through his website. And still....... LP does not badmouth him on national t.v. He took his lumps and kept his mouth shut. To me, that sounds like one was a true gentleman, and the other was not.
LP has never held himself up to be a saint, he admits his mistakes, and doesn't pull any punches. He doesn't claim to be an expert. He did not try to steal the limelight, nor did he stomp off in a huff when the media focused on someone else. And at least he didn't pull out after little more than 24 hours of searching.... he's still there, and he's got his heart in the right place.
I will still respect Tim and the work he does.... but he is not a god and not a saint, he is only a human, subject to making mistakes, just like anyone else.
FYI, LP did call the authorities...the FBI. Local LE forgot to mention that:

TxLady2, you summed this up perfectly. I am 100% in agreement with you.

It looks like it is coming down to either being a Miller Angel or a Padilla Devil.
I never have been no angel.
Yeppers! :whistle::silenced:
OH, bet I know exactly what you truly want to say.:whistle:
I refrained for the same reason.:silenced:
First I'd like to thank everyone for transcribing the show for ones like myself that can't get Nancy Grace.
Can anyone give me a link to a video of last nights program? Maybe I'm not doing a correct search, here and on youtube as I can't find one. I really want to see this one. Thanks.
