News Flash!! . . . VINCENT VAN GOGH WAS JACK THE RIPPER!!

[GUT]

Are you concerned this might attract the lunatic fringe?

Lunatic fringe?


On casebook?


Never.

[pinkmoon]

Not so much the theory that makes me say never as that when I read through this thread three or four times Dale clams to have got an agent and a publisher, I think twice he gives publication dates that are way way way overdue I suspect the simple answer is either he has not written a book or it is so poor that no one will touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Now,now brother gut we have to give this a chance we've had far more stranger theories over the years.

Probably the same time as when he started this thread way back when ... Never.

I know where you are coming from but we can't discriminate every theory has to be given respect and then after we are presented with the evidence then we can attack it

No, every theory doesn't have to be given respect. It is your opinion that they do. That is purely your opinion. It is not fact.

Dale has had three years to flesh out his theory and he has not presented a single shred of evidence in support of it. That is evidence enough.

His theory no longer deserves an iota or shred of respect.

[pinkmoon]

Hi all,let's leave this on friendly terms like I said every theory has to be respected when the evidence is presented to back the theory then only then do we stick the boot in let's say no more on this and all remain on friendly terms.

And that's before we get to the actually BS theory, I see something in a painting [that most don't see], so a man who was historically in France and broker than even me [so broke that at times he couldn't feed himself], traveled to England at least 4 times to kill prostitutes.

He made some good money from Annie Chapman's rings?

[GUT]

A big problem is Dale has been dishonest in this thread, when he has said he has publishers ready to go and the like, if he is prepared to be dishonest here, why not in his "book".

I disagree. Evidence schmevidence.

The fact there is a conspiracy of the highest order preventing the publication if this book is 100% proof Van Gogh was Jack the Ripper.

Why does any theory have to be respected? Not all theories deserve respect. It's pure fantasy to say they do. Not all theories, or theorists are created equal.

If I pull a theory out of my butt about the reincarnation of Michaelangelo being the Ripper and living in Whitechapel because his paintings foreshadowed the Ripper killings because I can "see" it in his work.. you think that theory actually deserves to be considered?

How long precisely does "any theory" get to be strung along in front of people before we are allowed to call it the crap it is?

We have seen Dale's "evidence". He sees things in the paintings. That's not evidence, that's wishful thinking.

[pinkmoon]

I think ANY theory has to be respected untill we have seen the evidence.

[Ally]

And I am prepared to wait if unicorns delivering Ryan Gosling and the winning lottery ticket will show up at my door but considering that's as likely to happen as VVG being Jack the Ripper, I think we should both find better ways of spending our time.
