The BIG Poll

And that is partly why I have no desire to come up with a list of my own, Herlock. Frankly, no named suspect would justify my consideration above anyone else, because the 'evidence' we have been left with is equally lacking against every man Jack of 'em.

It's the perfect definition of a cold case, which would need new evidence to put one suspect - named or not yet named - above the rest.

Well said Caz. Not having a preferred suspect is, IMO, definitely an aid to clear thinking.

If someone won’t answer it’s entirely reasonable to assume that it’s because that person has no answer.

Not necessarily so, my friend. Sometimes questions are phrased to elicit an anticipated response. Sometimes answers do not fit the required parameters for a response and are therefore discounted. Sometimes questions that have a response that is perceived as unacceptable to the asker are repeated to the point of exhausted exasperation. In the final summary, those who are asked questions have the right to determine whether the question is worthy of reply on the basis of the understanding of the questioner of the proposals of the person being questioned.

A simplified verson of what i was trying to say .

What you call as ''Unwilling to Answer'' in some peoples eyes is a non acceptance of an answer to a question thats repeated over and over because you or anyone doesn't happen to like or agree with it , that doesn't mean i or others are unwilliam to obilge ,we just feel we have already given it . The lengh of Richards post is a perfect example , the mountain of evidence surrounding Thompson his provided and ''his'' interpretation of it , i think makes a strong case for JtR in my opinion.

What Richard does is that he keeps repeat posting lengthy lists expecting to go unchallenged though Fishy and that’s the issue. When his points get challenged he refuses to respond, which is because he has no answer. So what does he do? He just posts another list.

Doesnt it make you suspicious though Fishy? That someone has no answers. Talking of evidence, look at Richard’s absolute insistence that Thompson was Major Smith’s suspect. Post after post after post telling us how mathematically certain it is that Smith was talking about Thompson as being the man that Smith sent his two men to Rupert Street to arrest. I have post the actual statements of those to officers which categorically proves that Major Smith’s suspect was Oswald Puckeridge. This isn’t my opinion Fishy or simply a case of me interpreting the evidence differently to Richard - it’s a case of black and white, cast-iron proof. Ask yourself “is it reasonable for Richard to keep on posting that Thompson was Smith’s suspect when we know that he wasn’t?”

If we all took the position of deciding not to respond to questions we wouldn’t have much of a forum George. The reason that I’ve asked questions isn’t because I haven’t liked the answer though it’s simply because no answer has ever been given. For example:

Richard had claimed as a fact that Thompson was living at the heart of the murder sites at the time of the murders. Richard has no evidence on which to base that claim and yet he continues to use it without responding to evidence to the contrary.
