As many of us know, Christer will not respond to my posts. I find this puzzing in that anything that I've written on these boards - directed at him and/or his "theory" - does not approach the level of insolence he routinely displays to anyone not fawning over his work and it's "conclusions".
Many of you also know that I have asked Christer to debate me at the Baltimore conference in April. I hope that you will join me in encouraging him to accept.
As I've stated previously, I am happy to pay for a venue. My choice would be that there be no admission fee and that the event be open to any and all interested in attending. Yet, if Christer would like to charge admission, he can keep 100% of the gate. I'll provide any refreshments he requests. I only wish to share the time and space with him for a lively and respectful discussion of this topic. I'm an experienced public speaker. I've spoken before very large audiences. I'm confident that we can present a fun, interactive, and instructive event. One that would certainly conclude with handshakes, pats on the back, and a few pints.
Perhaps all we need to do at this point is take a step back and try to gain some perspective. In the end, we are all part of a small community. We have a common interest. Disagreement mustn't lead to enmity that mutes dicussion.
In light of Christer's work, I have taken the time to research the Nichols' murder and those involved. I've researched Lechmere's life, as well. I have arrived at much different conclusions. Conclusions that I think are simply much more plausible then those propagated by Christer. In the coming months I will complete and - hopefully - publish a dissertation that provides - in my view - a very plasible and common sense explanation of the actions of those involved in the Nichols case. It does not reference the "Lechmere Theory" the "Mizen Scam" or Christer's work in general. It is intended to stand on it's own, serving as a reference to those seeking an understanding of the Nichols murder, Lechmere, Paul, and - most of all - PCs Mizen, Neil, and Thain. I hope it will serve as very modest contribution to "Jack the Ripper" body of knowledge.
If Christer will not join me in Baltimore, I hope that "Lechmere" will be highlighted to some degree.
Thanks.
