      Wonder if that's because they're non existent
      I think you're probably correct. What amazes me is the extent of the hyperbole. On one thread there was the extravagant claim, "I must have found him!" Following another supposed "major breakthrough." Meanwhile, I notice he failed to reply to my last post on the latest Non Existent Breakthrough thread. Perhaps he's gone into hiding!

        I hope he's gone into hiding

        There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

          Pierre, when you say "personal sources" are you referring to letters, diaries or memoirs that you have found in "the archives"?
          Pcdunn - you will see I tried to get some clarification but was ignored. Somehow I don't think the explanation is as simple as the one you suggest, but it rarely is with Pierre.

              Steve, according to the renowned Scientist and Historian himself, he made his great discovery after reading Sugden's Complete History of Jack the Ripper. Thus, he has told us:

              "I read through it and became suspicious of something in the book. Followed that as a clue, found some pieces of data known and unknown and think I now have found the killer."

              So it seems to have been a little bit of light reading rather than any actual research that started him off. I used to think he had made a genuine discovery at an archive of some sort but now assume he found the unknown "pieces of data" on the British Newspaper Archive site, or at least somewhere online, as I doubt he has done any 'proper' research at all.

                David,

                Before he says you are misquoting him, can I respectfully suggest you give the link to the post itself.

                Is it worth rereading Sugden and looking for a name i wonder?
                Seriously doubt it as so many names are in that work.

                Steve

                  It's #9 in this thread, "How did you get interested in Jack".

                  General discussion about anything Ripper related that does not fall into a specific sub-category. On topic-Ripper related posts only.


                  Might be worth re-reading Sugden but you'll have to read it thinking like Pierre which could cause long term health damage.

                  • You'll see, incidentally, that he loves to watch horror movies and 'serial killer movies' so I can't help thinking that he gets his ideas from Hollywood rather than Historians.

                      Perhaps I should read through your posts David and see which ones of your offensive posts and how many I would like to report to Admin.

                        Of course you are ignored David. That is because of your constant belittling and your offensive posts directed to me and directed to others about me.

                          You do not know anything about my personal interests. Stop this.

                            David just was rereading posts, I am sure you do that all the time too, he posted something he had found and i asked for the link.

                            So no need for that tone of reply really is there.

                              It only seems to happen when I ask you a question which you have difficulty in answering.

                                Of course I do. Because you posted about your personal interests. You said:

                                "Love to watch horror movies and serial-killer movies and saw the movie with Michael Cane too, among all the other movies. Cane is a brilliant actor."

                                It's Michael Caine btw.
