Anderson - More Questions Than Answers

[Stewart P Evans]

Agree

I think this post should be over on the pub talk section Stewart..its not anderson related. Its more clownish.

I agree with you, in fact I think it's the best place for any post with your name on it. But I don't have the power to move posts.

[QUOTE=Pirate Jack;47602]There is no evidence that he did not 'revel in blood' at some point. Indeed if you speculate that Aaron was 'Jack the Ripper' it seems pretty likely that he 'reveled in blood' on at least six occasions. Aaron’s apparent lack of violence once 'in- prisoned' is consistent with what we know of Schizophrenics.



Surely speculating about what Anderson did or did not know in 1892 is what we are all doing?

What? Seriously?

Well ofcourse if you Pirate, are just in the business of inventing "Fairy Tales" why not join a fiction thread?

Norma, I think that you will have to accept the fact that 'Pirate' has been irretrievably brainwashed and leave it at that.

Hold on a minute Norma. I was invited to speculate on what Anderson meant.

I pointed out that we don't know the exact question Anderson was responding too. And I offered some opinion and speculation. Which I thought fair and reasonable.

It certainly is not me that has tried to make personal comments. Perhaps if we could all just stay, on topic.

[Natalie Severn]

Reasonable? Nothing reasonable or fair about making things up as you go along about Kosminski,a man you seem to know nothing about whatsoever.

Interesting

I don't recall if I have posted this before or not, but Anderson subscribed to a press cutting service, they scoured all the papers and sent any mention of his name in the newspapers to him. Interesting, I thought -

Why is this interesting?

You are again inviting people to SPECULATE, and when they do so, you start calling them names.

Perhaps he was just collecting information.

What a prat you are. I wasn't suggesting anything by this, I just think that it is interesting and tells us that Anderson would be aware of all the press reports.

I haven't invited anyone to speculate and I don't make it a habit to call people names - apart from ones who annoy me intensely. Anderson was quite right to subscribe to this service, I would do the same if I was doing his job. It's the last time I scan and post anything more on here.

Hi Stewart,

Thanks for the Press Cuttings Agency scan. Fascinating.

Nil Carborundum Illegitimus.

Then perhaps you should have said that in the first place....and again why are you firing all this personal abuse at me? I have not called you any names.

Perhaps we should both cool off for a while. I will leave you in peace.

Thanks very much for that Simon, I'm glad that someone appreciated it.

I have a ton of material and I am happy to share some of it with others. However, it appears that there is an element that would prefer that I didn't. I need to re-think what I am doing.

[Jeff Leahy]

Stewart this is completely unfair. I have nothing against you personally I very much admire you, your posts and your work. I have simply been questioning some of your views on Anderson…..that’s all.

If you have taken offence then I apologise. It certainly wasn’t intended.

I shall take a break if it keeps you happy

I am not in the habit of censoring anyone. You carry on and I'll take a break - I need it.

I had been enjoying this exchange as well, in particular the many new snippets being posted by Stewart, which do add to and perhaps alter our view of Anderson... but I have to say I have always viewed Anderson with a great deal of suspicion after I discovered the story of his alleged indecency in a railway carriage. I believe this story had been known to a select few before I found it, but it had certainly never seen the light of day in any publication as far as I can tell.
Now I wonder why an author who claimed to have a better understanding and grasp of a complicated character, like Anderson, would fail to include such vital detail as Anderson's detention for an offence of indecency in the earlier part of his career?
Akin to writing a biography of Sir Winston Churchill, and not mentioning the Second World War?

[Natalie Severn]

I too have found Stewart"s press cuttings very instructive and helpful.
