There is no Jack the ripper

[tji]

Hi all

I've got to say I am confused and that although I had no run - ins with Michael, Tom and Michael have been at each others throats for years and Michael gave as good as he got.

Yet now he has decided to leave and Tom (and Ally) speak out about him people seem quick to portray them as bullies, for wont of a better word.

Seems to me the choice to leave was Michaels, he wasn't ran off the boards.

Ps By the way Tom you know my ideas on Liz Stride's killer.....

(I can see Tom banging his head against the computer desk, thought you were going to get some peace now Michael was gone didn't you?)

Ally has never done anything on "my behalf". Everything she's said on this thread is true and her views are shared by an overwhelming number of posters too polite or afraid to say anything. I'm all for trimming the dead weeds, and the Stride threads need that like no other. Maybe some of the people with something valuable to say will return to the Stride threads now that their primary reason for staying away is gone.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

The last thing I saw that was inconvertible was a Riley Elf saloon, but Tom sort of tells it like it is, or something like that.
One begins to see that if you question Tom's version of events, ya get a mouthful of abuse, and then blow me down ya get Ally swiping heads on his behalf. As someone just said, one expects something bigger, and not smaller; and the world just got very small indeed.

It's all about the Yankee dollar, Simon. I'm just hopin' I can fool enough old crackpots out there into buying my book so I'll have money to buy AP's Spanish Brandy warehouse and Paul Begg's pub and go into business for myself serving all the old crackpots driven to drink by my poorly reasoned arguments. It's a no brainer, and I'm the guy with no brain, so it can't fail.

Yours truly,

Hi Tom,

Sounds to me like you got nuthin' and are just plain foolin' with an old crackpot.

Simon

Don't be a smartass, Simon. Anyone who has carefully evaluted Packer knows he was full of crap. I'm not gonna waste my time preaching to the inconvertible.

Yours truly,

Hi Tom,

Care to share?

121 years of Ripperology hangs in the balance.

Ally you are cheap. Very cheap .
No spine to allow and let people breathe.

You know that second sentence made no sense right? And you are full of sh!t. Michael got plenty of room to breathe and he's been spouting his BS for years unfettered.

But it's typical of cowards like you and Mike who run away when confronted with opposition to say it's the people who don't fall down and roll over and accept that kind of abuse to be the ones who are rigid.

Michael is perfectly happy to be the one insulting and deriding others, but the minute he gets a bit of it back you and he have a whiny little "I am so oppressed". It's not my fault you and your ilk are weak and cowardly.

Here's a clue, pansy. If you can't take it, don't start dishing it. Because there are people in the world who are a lot better equipped at serving it up than you ever will be.

[Tom_Wescott]

Do you have any evidence in support of your other two assertions?

Of course.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Save your sympathy, David. As has been pointed out, Michael has pulled this stunt before. He'll be back. You can count on it.

[Tom_Wescott]

Ally you are cheap. Very cheap .

I can't afford her.

Yours truly,

If Michael wants to go, he has the right to do so.
It's sad, but he's a big man.
But he shouldn't say "I go because the administrator told me so".
A post from Ally is a post from Ally.

Amitiés all.

Hi Tom,

I was using the approximate interval of time between the cops first saying the Berner Street murderer must have been interrupted and the appearance in the press on Monday of the corroborative SJ postcard.

Do you have any evidence in support of your other two assertions?

Yes, I have looked carefully at the smudges. And the hand-drawn postmarks, for which there was a legitimate reason.

Regards,

Simon

There is not even 1 percent of what is required to point to a definite killer and already all these quarrels and nonsense. How much more if we get to 20%. People will explode.

Ally you are cheap. Very cheap .
No spine to allow and let people breathe.

[Tom_Wescott]

What could be worse than you calling me a crackpot?

I could call you Canadian, but that would be hitting below the belt. As for your theory, you have it backwards...Le Grand and Packer's Grape Man was a fabrication, Jack the Ripper aka the Whitechapel Murderer, existed. As for the Saucy Jacky postcard, it was posted LONG before 24 hours following the discovery of Stride's body.

You ever taken a close look at the 'smudges' on that postcard?

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott
