Canonical or not.

Have you looked in the mirror lately?

I wanted confirmation that the Doctor Hebbert you referred to was the Doctor Charles Hibbert referred to in the Casebook. Instead you get all condescending, while dodging my actual points.



Perhaps you should take the Casebook to task on the spelling of the name.

"Dr. Charles Hibbert, who examined one of the arms, stated that, "I thought the arm was cut off by a person who, while he was not necessarily an anatomist, certainly knew what he was doing-who knew where the joints were and cut them pretty regularly."

"Mr. Charles Alfred Hibbert, assistant to Mr. Bond, deposed:I examined the arm on Sept. 16. It was a right arm, and had been separated from the shoulder joint. It measured 31in in length and was 13in in circumference at the point of separation, the wrist being 6½in round, and the hand 7½in long."

Thanks for the link, though.

And if you're willing to stop dodging the question, feel free to explain why we should discount the opinions of Doctor Charles Alfred Hebbert and Dr George Baxter Philips when they concluded the Torso Killer and the Ripper were different men. Unlike you, they were trained medical men who engaged in forensic medicine and actually saw the bodies.

Again, predictably, you come back with an attitude after - again - having been shown to be wrong.

You now say that you were after confirmation that the doctor Hebbert I spoke about was the doctor Hibbert "referred to" in Casebook. Really? What you wrote was "Presumably you mean Doctor Charles Hibbert.", emphasizing what you very clearly believed to be the correct spelling.

But you cannot possibly own up to it. There´s no way that you are going to admit having made a fool of yourself. Not a chance. Instead you advice me to "take Casebook to task"!

If you have not before understood why I do not answer any of your posts, maybe it has become apparent to you by now?

Or is it just a case of you pointing out errors, for all of us to learn from?

Grow up. Or - and I mean it - stop pestering people with this kind of crap. If you could simply say "Oh, I was wrong, sorry about that!", it would help your cause immensely, but as long as you persist in claiming to be correct about things that are so badly wrong they are laughable, that is not going to happen.
There is nothing at all shameful about being wrong. We all are, every now and then. But there is EVERYTHING shameful about denying your mistakes and having an attitude about it.

So long, Fiver. Or is it Fever?
