Re craig

Hi craig you sound similar to myself in being here for years but hardly ever posting.
I started a thread regarding pierres research and the contents of his posts. The reason being i was annoyed by the teasing and constant lack of substance to his suspect.
The point i am trying to make is after his original post which in a nut shell goes like this ...
I have a suspect he may be known by some but is not a main suspect but I won, t be able to reveal anything for a year.
Unless i have missed anything added by Pierre nothing has been added to that so though pierre may be genuine and his research genuine i cant see the point of his original post.
Yes there has been debate but debate on what?
Accedemically i may not be as sharp as sime on here but all i gained from pierres posts is that his suspect is male, but accept there may be further clues that i have missed.
I do take your point about personell insults towards pierre .I am pretty sure I have not stooped to that level but some of the posts that have been posted i certainly dont condone.
For me and me alone it is the nagging thought of why post at all.
I may have missed or not taken everything in but if anyone can enlighten me in laymens terms this is what i understand so far.
Pierres suspect is male.
Pierres suspect is not a known or well known suspect
He was not in the police force.
He was not in goverment or a member of a political party.

I must admit that since pierre has stated that even if his further research prives his suspicions wrong he will still post who the suspect was has mellowed me.
It does seem such a shame that possibly pierre posting his suspect now with so many people on here with all the experts on various subjects it epuld not br advantagous to him and his research.

I wasn't asking you where the evidence is being held. I was asking you how it could be destroyed by you posting in this forum.

Pierre, any response to this?

Hi,
Absolutely.. I would for one, love to debate the ideas, not the person.
But what ideas ?
Regards Richard,

Agree

I have been reading this site, on and off, for the last 10 years.

While I have not been a frequent contributor, I have always read the posts with interest.

One of the things I have enjoyed is the passion so many of you show in trying to solve one of the great mysteries of the last 150 years.

I have seen vigorous differences in opinion as you debate your personal theories about the Ripper. However, I always believed that no matter how vigorously you disagreed with each other, that you would still have a beer or a glass of wine with each other at the end of the day.

I thought this group debated ideas, not the person.

This is why I have been so disappointed in how this group has responded to Pierre’s involvement.

Pierre has a different approach to stimulate debate. He hasn’t presented a definite theory and forcefully argued his position. Instead, he has asked provocative questions that encourage us to think.

This approach can frustrate and irritate many people, which I can understand. Personally, I’ve found it interesting.

I believe any bulletin board needs to encourage diversity.

If someone irritates you, then simply click on their user name, add them to your “ignore list” then you won’t read their comments.

When I think about this site, and the other site, I think about some of the great posters such as Nemo and Chris Scott. I can’t remember either of them resorting into personal attacks.

Today, we awoke to the terrible news about the Paris tragedy.

Life is too short for the personal attacks.

We all share something in common in our interest in solving this 125 year old mystery.

Can we focus on that, and debate the ideas not the person ?

Craig

Well said Craig

I heard the man named Pierre
Say, Give me 'til end o'year
I can for a fact
Identify Jack
Or else i'm out on my rear.
(Or else i'm buying the beer. )
(Or else my work's all bum steer.)

[RockySullivan]

Nice. Heres one:

There once was a boy named Pierre
Who said I think I have found him o Dear!
But I just cant say who
till I find that last clue
And then I will tell you next year!

Here's another:

Pierre Pierre
full of despair
got his own head stuck up his derrière

Pierre

Hi Pierre and thanks for the reply.
I guess there is nothing left to say at this moment in time, and at the end of the day time will tell how genuine your original post was or is.
After much consideration I still stand by my asumption that this is a wind up or a spoof by a long term member. However I will wait until proven right or wrong. I have spent 39 years wondering who Jack was so another 11 months won,t harm.

If you are true to your word and you do post the results I will be the first to admit I was wrong bit until such time ...

Good luck.

[Abby Normal]

I wait and wait, with breath abate, for Pierrot's next epistle.

Alas I fear, within the year, for Jack we'll have to whistle.

So let me see if I've got this right. If you post on this forum the name of your suspect then some evidence, somewhere, gets destroyed?

Is this a magic trick you have mastered?

Or is there a person holding the evidence who has threatened that, if you post the name, that evidence goes on the fire?

I wish I could tell you where this evidence is being held but I can´t. You will get to know when I´m finished with it. You can be quite sure of that.

Regards Pierre
