Pierre's research so far...

[Hercule Poirot]

I must say that there's much more backbenchers simply making noise about Pierre's thread than anything that could push the topic forward. It gives me quite a precise measure of the maturity of the current participants.

Grow up guys!

G'day GUT,

Of course I know what you mean, but I wish you could use a different term than "the BS detector". It could also mean "the Baker Street detector", and that seems unnecessarily insulting to a great, if fictional, man.

Jeff

Sorry Jeff.

If you can't answer that question, you've just proven my point.

You seem to spending time posting here so I don't get your point at all, what threads I expend my time on is none of your business to be frank.

Street talk seems to be your trademark. How enrichening! Sorry, I don't have time to waste going on responding.

Do others see in Pierre a form of passion about his knowledge of the killer and the low regard he has for those on this site.

its all been about unburdening himself of the great weight that he knows the killers name. its almost like a sense of guilt he has taken on board.
Am I alone in finding this attitude from a scientific researcher strange.
He recently called the killer by an expletive, this almost seemed personal.

Of course he still gives no evidence just ideas which he tries to dress up as such and an insistence on the fact he is never wrong, just look at all the fuss he is still making about that doorway

Certainly seems to have a low regard for anyone he thinks beneath him.

Personally I find his whole attitude strange.

No evidence presented at all.

And not open to any other point of view.

Really not very scientific at all.

Yes, I would agree with this. Not that I have any idea who Pierre's suspect is, and I'm not totally convinced that he does either. I mean, he definitely wasn't a police officer, but now he is, although he might not be, as he could be a police official (whatever that means) instead!

It reminds me of my childhood when I used to play "I Spy", with my younger brother. Whenever you got the right answer he used to say, "no that's not it", and change his mind. Of course, when we gave up, and he finally revealed the answer,we pointed out to him that we'd already guessed that and he'd answered "No". Mind you, he was only about 6 years old at the time!

Hi GUT

he likes to call himself a scientist but it appears he is actually an historian of some sort. the two with all due respects are not the same thing.
There obviously is a fair degree of science in historical research, however his research is limited on this subject to reading documents from the 1880's.
Therefore he obviously sees his interpretation of these documents as scientific. It is these he gives as evidence
he told me he does not want to read anything else has :
"I donīt want my understanding contaminated." he sees himself as having no bias. he really e must be the first person in history who has no bias at all.

my main point however was that it all seems very personal to him, I wonder why?

First of all he told us he found this information almost by accident while researching something else, but he has not told us what.
Nether has he been forth coming about what he researches normally, I have asked him again today,, no specifics just the general field.

Well close to Pierre, only 1 digit out, think he said somewhere he was 46. could be wrong on that. if I am hands up.

To me it all seems too personal, he seems to get upset quickly, and seems to have a genuine hatred for the killer, from the comments he makes.

[JadenCollins]

Steve,

I'm pretty sure that Pierre doesn't feel any hatred towards "that person", he just wants us to believe that. He is caught up in his "story", he is quite passionate about it. I don't know but this all seems staged...

Warning; Pierre's movie is coming out soon, starring us all!

Jaden

while you are probably right about that, I have a nagging, idea back of my mind, just have to see what thread comes out next,
