The One Where James Maybrick was Jack the Ripper

[The Baron]

What isn't grounded in logic is the idea Maybrick wrote the diary. There is no evidence whatsoever that Maybrick wrote the diary. Also I think you will find that if anyone is troll it's you.

Nop, Ike is not a troll, he doesn't hijack other threads everytime with one-line posts.

It is fine to disagree with someone, but that doesn't make them trolls as some here want to believe and want others to engage and take their stances along the way.

I suggest you learn from Ike, his writing style for example, his posts are interesting to read nevertheless

This is why I try to stick to one thread so that if someone doesn't want to engage with me personally as a poster they can find Ike-free zones elsewhere with little effort, and - yes - I really do get niggled when someone hijacks [good choice of term] 'my' thread with inane and repetitive one-liners which cannot possibly advance the discussion and potentially just influence the more casual reader to think there must be some merit in such unhelpful remarks. If I don't respond, is that taken to be an admission that I have nothing to respond with, for example?

I appreciate your support, Baron.

I still think Ike is a troll however it's clear to me The Baron is an even bigger troll highjacking threads with no other reason than to annoy other posters. At the end of the day The Diary's provenance is appalling. The obvious writers of the Diary are clearly Anne and Mike Barrett.
