Most ridiculous suspect

[FISHY1118]

No, it doesn't. If you put forward a theory you need evidence, not just assumption and speculation. FYI, it is not possible, or required, to prove a negative. His note was undated so no one knows when he wrote it, or the date of his dismissal, and even you would concede that there was more than one Friday in Nov 1888.

I think you misunderstand , im not putting forward a theory that says druitt was the killer, ,merely that based on that article and much circumstantial evidence , my veiw was and has always been that he was extremely unlikely to be jtr , , and that article allows me to have that opinion , its a pity you others dont get that very point .. all that was required was a simple acknowledgement that hey fishy if that your opinion then your entitled to think that way. , it could of saved a lot of childish behaviour .

I don't think anyone misunderstands. You have gone out of your way to denigrate the opinion of one person in particular, who has done far more research than one article, and now you wish to portray yourself as the victim.

Hi Abby I agree with you somewhat, even if we have not heard the rippers name I feel the police did, and he was interviewed by the police at some point, [ perhaps more than once, and perhaps brought in for further questioning], and his name was in a file, perhaps with hundreds of others. Much like Sutcliffe

Regards Darryl

yup. and we even may still have heard of him... like a piggot or puckridge etc. but i agree. many serial killers have been on the police radar and suspected like sutcliff as you mention, before their eventually caught, sometimes much later.

but i would be remiss if i didnt say that i think im partially biased as ive never been one for phantom rippers, either in the specific circs of the case or in general.

All this utter nonsense from your clueless comment. What a waste. Not worth the effort any more.

I know that you’re allergic to facts and truth Fishy. No problem.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Breath herlock , lol ,take a nice walk. Youll be fine ,

I’m fine and calm Fishy. Just laying down a few of those facts that you appear to have an aversion too.

Being criticised on the subject of Druitt by a supporter of the above theory is like being told that you have a poor attitude to women by The Yorkshire Ripper.

What is a pity is that it’s you that’s in denial of what’s been said. Firstly, no one on here (including myself) has said that Druitt was the ripper. Indeed many see him as a poor or weak suspect which is totally fine. Secondly, most people accept that we don’t know who the killer was. And thirdly, for most suspects it’s impossible to exonerate them with real evidence as opposed to doubt. The vast majority of posters would accept those three points I think. They would also accept that the theory that you support is the most laughable running joke in ripperology. And you have the nerve to comment on Druitt.

What is rich is your above request for acknowledgment “Hey Fishy etc,” when you, in front of every person on this thread, will notacknowledge what I said clearly and in black and white. You persist in saying that I said that anyone that rejects Druitt as a suspect is clueless when I didn’t. I very specifically qualified that by aiming the comment at any person who dismisses him ‘out of hand.’ Which, as the Dictionary that you ignore, tells all English speakers, means without due consideration.

Whatever further silly justifications you make it doesn’t change the fact that every single poster can read. Keep backtracking Fishy. I don’t mind but this should end now because your just sounding more and more desperate.

child like insults from you again , not interested , you butchered the druitt topic to suit your agenda . Clueless

[FISHY1118]

More insults , feel better now? ,

[Herlock Sholmes]

Not insults…..facts. You made points against me based on something I didn’t say and then ignored it when I posted the exact quote in black and white.

You have a deficiency in integrity…..talk to someone else Fishy, I have no desire to waste further time or words on a poster like you.

[Herlock Sholmes]

I’m no longer interested with conversing with a dishonest poster who won’t admit he was wrong even when presented with cast iron proof. Absolutely pathetic.

Im done here.

ARE you sure this time , ? still the insults fly , Amazing.

[FISHY1118]

Crossthread insults now , wonders will never cease.

[Losmandris]

But the evidence used to place him as a suspect is hearsay e.g "somebody told me" or "I heard" "somebody said to me" "i was told"

At least that is something with a contemporary person at the time. Suspected by people that actually knew him, his family or from those who had access lots of information relating to the case we will, in all likelihood never see. I totally agree he is an unlikely suspect but considering all we have to go on, he is head and shoulders above so many others.
