Brenda Leyland may have been obsessive in the volume of tweets she made, but her tweets did not include threats of any kind to the McCanns or their children - unlike tweets by others. Therefore, she cannot be deemed to have been a 'danger' to the McCanns or to the general public, so revealing her identity could not be justified on the basis of being; 'in the public interest'.

I. myself, have changed my stance on the McCanns since reading certain posts on here, following the given 'links', and indulging in further reading on the whole 'McCann' affair. I now believe that;'something' is indeed 'rotten in the state of Denmark.', and have suppressed various emotions as a result.

I have not reacted by 'trolling' the McCann's online, but not everyone reacts to a given stimuli in the same manner, and - as yet - we do not know what Mrs Leyland's state of mind was at the time she carried out this trolling; was she suffering from mental illness? Depression? -- Did she lose a child by miscarriage in her past? Did she want other children but was unable? We just don't know whether she had mitigating circumstances for what she did.

What I do know, is, that this poor woman and her family deserve sympathy, not the vile tirades and inhumane bile which these vile, hypocritical troller's are spewing out online and elsewhere.

Finally, I used to have immense sympathy for the McCann's, especially Kate - and though I am not accusing them of anything - I have just looked at their photos and Brenda Leyland's, and my sympathy is all for Brenda.

I actually don't like looking at Kate McCann any more.

Bravo Kirk,

The lady who killed herself may have been wrong to tweet, but then as has been said she wasn't directing the tweets at a McCann account, so who then was she trolling? The people subscribed to her twitter? in which case there is a simple fix unwatch or whatever,

Are we saying there is a personal limit on number of tweets someone should post in a given day, if so what is that limit, is it legally enforceable etc etc

Now, Mr Brunt targeted the lady in front of millions of viewers trying to make a sensational story, and what happened, he got it, the lady killed herself. I know who should be facing the police questions.

As to these new twatter posters, well, the net sure does highlight that the world is full of a lot more unpleasant people than I ever thought it did. I find it all disgusting
