Who wrote the "Diary"

[Archaic]

Hi Corey, Caz, and all.

I'd vote in this poll but unfortunately I have no idea who wrote the *#@#! diary...

However I do have an idea of what I'd like to do to them if they are ever found out!



Best regards, Archaic

Hi Caz,

Sorry, in that case I misread your post. About the handwriting: in Feldman's book was an example of a persons handwriting who had multiple personalities. It was also stated that James may have written the entries as he was drugged up. Who knows? Still, I don't want to get into another discussion.

Could you tell me who wrote that book you mentioned in your first post? i would really like to read it.

Greetings,

That applies to every one of 'em.

Hi Addy,

I did read your first post. You came back to accuse me of not keeping an open mind concerning the people who had already voted and had different opinions from me. But that was my point. I'm still keeping an open mind and don't know who wrote the diary, therefore I have no opinion to express. But I do know that I have yet to see any evidence that anyone on this list could have done it. My comments were firmly directed at the few who have closed their minds to alternative possibilities and concluded - for God knows what reasons - that someone on this tiny list of candidates wrote the diary. (The next worry is how long and hard these people actually thought about it before voting and what they have read about the person concerned that convinced them.)

If it's any consolation to you, you'll have no argument from the voters that the diary is not in Maybrick's hand. That applies to every one of 'em.

Love,

Hi Caz,

No, I mean keeping an open mind about other people's opinions. I'm not allowed to vote yet, as I've posted before, however I would have voted James Maybrick and not because I think he faked the diary. Do I think he was the Ripper? Not perse, he could have been deluding himself as he was a drug addict. And I've read more than just Feldman's and Harrison's books on this subject. No one has been able to proof that the diary is genuine but I've never come across definite proof that it is fake either. So I keep an open mind and my brains on the inside too.

If you have some books to recommend on the subject of the diary, please let me know. Perhaps we'll come to agree after all.

Greetings,

Hi Addy,

So keeping an open mind would be to vote, accusing some random individual of faking the diary, when one hasn't even bothered to find out what literature is available on the subject, let alone read it?

My mind is open, thanks, but not so open that all the brains fell out on the way to this thread.

Love,

Caz

I'm glad to see you keep an open mind Caz and judge people who think different than you as dimwitted!

I would however like to read the book you mentioned. Who wrote it? I'm from the Netherlands and I'm not sure I've ever seen it here.

Hi David,

The news is that the bright posters have no more idea today than they did back in 1992 concerning who created the diary - and don't mind admitting it.

As I view it, the conflicting statements/evidences regarding who created the diary paradoxically and ultimately serve the "Maybrick-the-Ripper" cause, which has become less and less fascinating to the bright side of ripperology, one must admit.

I believe you, Phil. You don't look old enough to have been faking that diary prior to 1970.

(And that date comes straight from the US team of scientific experts commissioned in 1993 to prove the ink was barely dry on the page.)

A bit like the ripper case really. Those who say they know who dunnit only think they know and none of 'em will ever prove it in their lifetime.

Sensible man, Phil!

Ditto. I have absolutely no idea who wrote the thing.

But I do have a fair idea of who absolutely didn't.

Secondly, what I do know is that nine (sorry, eight) extremely dim posters have voted so far.

Hi Caz,

thanks for that.
What are the bright posters doing ?
Any news ?

Amitiés,

I leave this subject to those who know more than I about it.
