Accusations of a Ripper "cabal" (Moved from another thread)

[The Good Michael]

How do you make a cartel?

A: Rub its chassis.





I slay me.

Mike

PS. Blow on its tailpipe?

[Tom_Wescott]

So now the Trevinator has his own Cartel?

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Monty]

Though their inane patter obviously needs some work.

[Trevor Marriott]

And oh how they compliment each other on their greatness.

Monty

yes a favourite trick of the cartel

We laugh, and Im sure no one takes his an others accusations seriously, however their remarks are defammatory to some.

Not to mention there's the idiotic dupes who buy into his conspiracy crap and perpetuate it. Usually I don't feel sorry for idiotic dupes, but they are annoying when they clump together. The pitch of the shrill hysterical whispering makes my ears bleed.

Just an update:

1. It's been over 2 weeks and Trevor Marriott has yet to put forth a single piece of evidence, logical argument or shred of reasoning in support of his hysterical and paranoid accusations of Ripper "cabal/conspiracy/borg collective".

2. No response to my request.

An announcement will be made Ally, but it is now out of my hands and I am waiting just like you.

The logical explanation is that the cabal have silenced him... we should be so lucky.

[Phil Carter]

Ah, okay.

Of course, Ally. Leave it with me and I'll do everything within my power to accede to your request.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for offering this to us all. May I also in addition politely ask if it would be possible to see, should the above request be agreed to, to see the original documents of the AV, and not just a transcript of the aforementioned? I ask this from a historical interest viewpoint of this important document. I politely hope this is also consiodered.

kindly

Phil

I think it's terrific that the full 'Aberconway' version will be published, so long as all parties concerned are fine with that eventuality, and I look forward very much to examining the full source.

I believe that Macnaghten adapted this document to compose 'Laying the Ghost of Jack the Ripper' (1914) the definitive source in the whole case -- albeit a lone opinion. Therefore what Mac chose to keep, and what he chose to exclude (almost everything) and what he chose to add which is not in the document (the graffiti; that the murderer was absent from his place with hiss own people; that 'certain facts' led to a 'conclusion' but only 'some years after') is crucial to [provisionally] solving the mystery inside the mystery.

I'm afraid I set this in motion, I think?

I posted a comment, some time ago, claiming -- mistakenly -- that 'Aberconway', the full version, was lost decades ago. I lamented that Cullen and/or Farson did not publish the full copy in an appendix, or something, in their books.

Then somebody else replied that no, it still exists, just not published ...

[mariab]

You'd have to get her out of the big house first.

[Tom_Wescott]

It is all very well and good for people who have been privileged to see a copy of the Aberconway to look down and go "Oh it's not that important, there's nothing there" but you will forgive us lowly peons if we'd actually prefer to see the exact document and text for ourselves. It's this idiotic little quirk some people have about seeing a source for themselves, rather than just accepting the opinions of those on high, regarding its value and what we should think about it.

I say let's give Felicity a camera and send her to Keith's house.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Ally]

Ditto the reply.

I should make one small correction. As said, I understand that the AV will be published, so clearly somebody asked, and asked a while back, and an agreement was reached.

And that's fine, however as I am not privy to any of those details or arrangements, I have made my request and I will await any response that may be forthcoming.

(Be careful, though Ally and Monty, if you push him he'll call you a 'muppet' full of 'wind and piss'!)

That's alright Paul. A muppet full of wind and piss would probably be the politest thing I've ever been called.
