As it turns out, the Ripper Cabal is real...it's just not who you thought it was

[Monty]

Fine Monty...so why waste your time posting on a thread like this about them? I'd venture to suggest it doesn't achieve much and, as stated above, rather than enlightening the rest of us, it's the least attractive feature of an otherwise brilliant site.

You know what Dave. I had a long drawn out post completed and ready to go but yep, you are right.

No one is worth it.

However, I will say, you really havent a clue what goes on. I envy you.

The idea of any cabal involving anyone is ludicrous. Trevor meant it seriously because he thinks a group of Ripperologists are deliberately witholding source material because it disagrees with their beloved pet theories. I doubt that Ally seriously believes that anybody else forms a similarly motivated cabal, but she may fairly note collective common traits. She has accused Simon, like Trevor, of making claims which he doesn't support. Phil spouts much the same stuff as Trevor and sometimes goes even further, even managing to see something nefarious in the publicity surrounding the loan of the marginalia to the crime museum. I don't know how Lynn's involved in the debacle. SO, no, not up to shady business, Tom, but sharing a common - what shall we call it, ethos?

Damn right,

The idea of such a group is nonsense indeed, anywhere. However, as Paul stated, Trevor kept calling one, and called and called and called until it didnt get funny anymore.

So I then called him upon it, asked for the evidence. Got the A-typical cute posts but I carried on asking for evidence.

And guess what, Im still waiting.

Monty, I've tried to make it a point NOT to find out...

All the best

Ignorance might be bliss but it doesn't make the for the most solid ground on which to take a stand.

Like Monty, I had a slightly longer and more detailed version of that post ready, and decided what the hell, it's not worth it...I don't know about you, but when it comes down to it, I come here as an escape for goodness sake! It's a hobby.

Ally/Monty/Paul...you and I could sit here all night blowing off posts to each other, and it wouldn't make the slightest difference...you probably wouldn't change your views, and nor probably would I mine...it's not worth it...it'd just be counterproductive...I suggest we give it a rest for a while...

Every good wish

Hi All,

The first duty of a cult is to deny its own existence.

That's how they succeed.

Paranoid?

No, just been around a while.

Regards,

Simon

And people say I have no claim to make about insinuations, false accusations and then running away or coming in with nonsense to deflect when asked for evidence.


Lawyered.

You're right, of course. But it'd be nice to think that someone would speak up when they start knocking on the doors down your street.

Why the name? Famous, of course, to anyone interested in that period, but otherwise a tad on the obscure side, unless you come from Chichester I guess.

[Tom_Wescott]

Oh my goodness, so all this about Lynn and Simon is because they're cryptic and make insinuations about what they know, but won't post the proof? That's not exactly an exclusive club on here, is it?

Yours truly,

Not that I am aware of, no. It isn't all or even slightly about that.

Hi Paul, I live in Bognor and work in Chichester...so you guess right!

Not speaking for Ally or Paul here but with due respect, I'm not interested in changing your views.

You've not had the experience I've had. Nor a good few others who have received certain Emails or had their personal $hite raked over.

So I appreciated that you are viewing this from a different perspective.

Simon,

Again, candid to the line without stepping over.

A wonderful skill you have. So, seeing as you've been around a while, maybe you can suceede where Trevor failed.

Evidencies?

Or are you just stoking the fires again?

Monty

[Ally]

Tom,

Seriously if you haven't caught up to the plot by now, just keep silent so as to prevent yourself from constantly putting your foot in your mouth. No one but you has even mentioned Lynn.

YOU are the one who keeps dragging Lynn in. Either try to keep up or go warm the bench.

I realize you get pouty when you feel like you aren't being included, but come on...

[Tom_Wescott]

Hi Ally,

You trying being without a Cabal for a while and tell me how YOU feel! And I'm not alone. I'm sure that's what has Dave's titties all twisted - over a thousand posts in the last 5 months (!!!) and not ONE PM asking him to join a cabal. As for me, I'm more of a cartel man, myself.

As for the 'plot', it seems to keep changing with each post.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott
