Cliques and cartels in Ripperology

[Ally]

You are totally a newbie. Any REAL member would know Pub Talk posts don't get added to ones total.

[Tom_Wescott]

Oh, actually I DIDN'T know that. Guess that's cuz I'm usually posting to REAL threads.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Brava, Ally. Good comeback.
Tom, your posts having freezed at 3,196 possibly indicates that you're in the process of being banned.

There you go. I don't mind saying that AP is a close friend, and that Philip Hutchinson is an honest researcher. I don't see any contradiction.

I know I had a moan about the Diary camps once, but I suppose these things are inevitable. I just think if we're going to have camps, then make them funny camps - like Dr Zachary Smith.

[mariab]

Hey, maybe we're in a time-wrap. Like in the BtVS episode with the mummie hand.
Who's Dr. Zachary Smith?

[Ally]

I want to be a cabal leader. Currently taking applications for the position of minion, head minion, and dungeon scrubber.

Send photo with application.

Hmm....Does minion include useless guards who ALWAYS let the hero escape and then run in the wrong direction...?

Maria, Dr Zachary Smith was a character in the 1960s sci fi series "Lost In Space." That's the one where the robot was always crying "Danger, Will Robinson!"

[mariab]

To Robert:
Hey, I know about that robot from it being referred in Jim Jarmush' Mystery train!

This thread is only for discussion of cliques and cartels. Cabals are off-topic. People who want to discuss cabals should start their own thread.

I'll start a thread about Schiller's Kabale und Liebe.

Ally, I have no formal training in minioning, however I have rather extensive henching experince and could hench again with little effort should a henchman position come open! Dave

[Magpie]

I joined the secret Westcott cadre years ago, but it's really gone downhill. The newsletter never arrives on time, my decoder ring has gotten rusty with no replacement in sight. It's shameless.

[Magpie]

For those contemplating a new career in the henching professions, Mike C used to offer a full range of henching-related courses:

I have never been part of a clique,cabel or cartel.I am not a ripperologist,never yet met a ripperologist,never attended one of their conferences.Nor do I wish to.I am content to engage in conversations with them through these boards.I have sometimes been sickened with their protestations of righteous and defence of their character.Believe me,anyone of them would lie if they could make a quid out of it.As an uneducated oaf,I do not envy their oft repeated proclamations of superior intellect,cause i rarely find evidence of such.Still I do side with them.Only recently a person said to me,"Ripperologists are not fit to live with pigs".I replied that they were.
