Following the evidence

[Lewis C]

Ironically, it's the nonsense surrounding the 5 traits that serves to ruin Thompson's candidacy as the Ripper.

If the so called 5 traits was left on the sideline where it belongs, the case for Thompson then becomes stronger.

That may sound counterintuitive, but sometimes... less is more.

That's true, because whomever Smith was talking about has an alibi, and is therefore innocent. The only reason why Thompson can even be considered a remote possibility for being the Ripper is because he wasn't the person that Smith was talking about.

Richard,

Rookie needs to apologize to absolutely no one for the views he has posted.

Your support for Thompson has gone from obsession to complete fanaticism.

If you post here, you are going to get opinions that differ from yours. You need to deal with it.

c.d.

Absolutely. The anti-factual and illogical nature of Richard's 5 points argument is so extreme that it manages to make the Lechmerians' Mizen scam arguments seem sensible in comparison.
