    What a load of overblown, hyperbolic twattery!

    I agree the world needs more truth and beauty, but it also needs less of this self- indulgent nonsense!






    "Twattery" is now my new favourite word.

    Simply sublime, and rolls off the tongue with ease...

      Perhaps, when someone posts these type of comments it's telling us far more about them than just Ripperology.
      Perhaps!

      Or perhaps it simply tells us that they have a rather low tolerance for such self-indulgent, over-stated rhetoric.

        Or perhaps the person in question is suffering from a relapse in mental health issues and REALLY doesn't need people taking the piss out of him on here.

          OK, in that case I apologise.

          I will say no more on the subject, other than I wish you well.

            It's not me, it's the originator of the posts. And a group of us are attempting to prevent this from getting any worse. As I said in my first post, it is much appreciated if people desist from adding fuel to the fire.

            Thank you.

                I don't necessarily disagree, although as John asks, what makes him a better candidate than Bury?

                  I don't know the man from Adam, so my opinions are literally just that, opinions, of a person posting information that I find questionable.

                  I can't lead my life refraining from giving my opinions on what I see online in case the poster is going through health issues or family problems or work related trouble, as I'd never bloody post, because the entire population of earth has those problems.

                  I obviously wish him well, though he's been putting this stuff out there into the world, and as far as everyone knew, he was just a man making bold statements.

                  ​​​Judging posters by how they react to those bold statements without knowing the context of the situation of the person making said statements is just as questionable.

                    Anyway, as I've mentioned, Thompson is an interesting person, and a viable suspect. I just find the idea that it's in any way concrete and case closed, to be short of the mark. That's my final thought for this thread.

                            As opposed to Bury. Proven murderer, matches all the psych profiles, post mortem mutilator, in London during the C5 etc.

                              Considering the doctors at the time couldn't agree on wether the Ripper did or didn't have any anatomical skill. It's debatable as to wether this is a plus point.

                                Yes of course . As for Psych Profiles , well thats pretty broad, i guess lots of people fit that catagory in some form or another . In London during the C5 ?, well so were most Londoners. So not much to crow about Bury i should think. Proven Murderer fits tho .
