Soundmind- I feel you are being very disrespectful to Vic and those of us in this community who where there during the trial.
I think i'm right in saying Sneddon in court papers stated during the trial he
wanted us shut down. That's how POWERFUL this board was in that terrible chapter in Michael's life.
We weren't T-MEZ you are right but many people contributed to Michael's freedom including the good people in this community.
We helped fight the good fight and we won.
I truly believe that Vic and the many other diligent researchers on this board CAN make a difference to the current case and help to get justice for our dearly loved Michael.
I agree.
there are people who still thinks that Mike was guilty on both of 93 and 03 accusations even after being vindicated by the hard work of Mez in 05. and that the whole research/facts/etc was/is a bunch of BS? As they would say "because he's a celebrity" he got away with it. There are even fans of Mike [so they call themselves] who still thinks Mike was not completely innocent of the accusations.I think Sound was not being rude, but she was being realistic. I looked at the achieves and what fans really did was post facts, articles, and used their god given common sense to see how stupid the case really was. The case was so poorly made that it looked like it was put together from tacky glue, so you didn't need a MD in investigating to see the holes. Fans morally supported Michael and helped him through that tough period, that is a fact.
However, the fan really did nothing when it came to the actual investigation. Posting new articles and writing articles does not count as investigating. It was Mez and his team would did the research by hiring people to look at people's past. They were the ones who looked through every pick of evident and collected their own, not fans. So, putting the fans at the same level as Mez is undermining Mez's hardwork and given fans more credits then deserve.
Sneddon wanted to close down the site not because fans found some kind of information he didn't want them to know, it was more of the fact that they saw how bad the case was and rightfully ripped it apart. They then spread what they have learned to others, which is why they were a threat. It was not because of the actual research.
Btw, I went to the IU and most of their theories are made out of tacky glue. Common sense also flew out the window as well.
spreading the words was the key... the people that were spreading the words were so important and made great impact even way after being vindicated. the fans that were on the boards during 03 allegation that were sharing informations are much better fans than the fans that didn't do anything but listen to Mike's music or watch his music videos while sitting down on their lazy ass, carefree and didn't give a rat's ass about the man behind the music.
Michael was proven innocent and became a free man because of Mez but it was the fans who kept his spirit alive and spread the truth to the later generations that didn't know much about Michael and also opening the door for many more generation to come.
if only it was simple as saying "he was vindicated" as a proof of his innocence... it just doesn't work that way when it comes to Michael.
