The Diary — Old Hoax or New or Not a Hoax at All?​

[Lombro2]

I guess it's fifty-fifty if Michael Barrett was consistent for once. That's how you discern the truth from his lies. A one-off instance of consistency.

This is the fun you have when you're a debunker debunking bunk. If it wasn't bunk, I'd probably get all agitated and knit-picky. Instead, I'm calm, collected and comical.

So I was right. Mike said Anne had a multiple personality which explains her handwriting. I guess he knew no one could disguise their handwriting like that for 63 pages. Or he had to explain away the handwriting analysis. The handwriting doesn't match anyway, so when doesn't it matter? Oh.... right!.....

MB The person who write this diary, according to Anna Koren, the world’s [greatest] handwriting expert and what have you, has got a multiple, and I mean multiple, because I’m quoting,-

KS A multiple personality.

MB Thank you.

KS That’s Anne?

MB: That’s Anne.

KS: She says whoever wrote this has a schizoid personality. That is Anne Graham. So, therefore, Anne Graham, when she actually wrote the Diary, she wrote in her other personality. Does she become schizoid to order then?

MB: Well put it this way. I haven’t seen my daughter for six years.

None of this helps the Barrett Hoax theory. Unless you believe Anne was a schizo and Jack the Ripper wasn't.

One off instance proved categorically, beyond all doubt that the diary is a fake. Neither you nor anyone else has ever, not once, come up with an even vaguely plausible explanation for this impossibility. No one has ever had the courage of their alleged convictions to consult an etymologist to ‘disprove’ this and there’s only one explanation for that. They know that David’s point can’t be disputed. Years of embarrassing efforts like Robert Smith totally unrelated prison attempt, to stuff about horses, people still separating the phrase ‘one off’ and wittering on about that irrelevance, then Ike invents his own phrase an ‘off instance.’ Years and years of effort and not one single solitary example in the entirety of literature can be found of a phrase of this type used in the same way that the forger used it. Surely even you can’t think that this isn’t a bit ‘strange,’ a bit ‘worrying?’ But no. You plough on regardless. You obfuscate, you bring up unrelated suggestions, you base your opinion entirely on wish thinking because you don’t want to face what everyone else knows. That you can’t dispute a fact. And it’s a fact that James Maybrick couldn’t have used ‘one off instance’ in 1888/9. Therefore the diary is a proven forgery.

David has produced:

One Incontrovertible, Unequivocal, Undeniable Fact Which Refutes the Diary


Job done…hand David a cigar…and let’s all move on.

If One Off was definitive, you should be quite happy to hear the true and honest and provable story of how the forgery was fashioned--not going to every effort imaginable to prove it all over again by proving that your creation narrative might be possible, that your creator was consistent once in his life, and providing a string of excuses for the proven lies and nonsense and asking why your excuses can't be excused.

Some people, for some reason, have a linear approach to language where everyone is lumped together and published print is king rather than original and creative people who can be found anywhere and whose words and phrases can be found floating in the air or hidden in the pages of a diary.

The debunk is bunk.

But Gary B said it best:

Bonkers!
