Hi All
I am posting this final thread as it is my intention to withdraw from Ripper forums but before I do I will leave you with this one question and some appropriate answers as i see it.
What has propped this mystery up for 125 years four pillars
1. The killer known as JTR singularly killed all of the Whitechapel women.
that is clearly wrong
2. The name Jack the Ripper. If it accepted that the letter was not written
by JTR and that he was nothing more than an urban myth created by an
over zealous newspaper man then that takes the name JTR out of the
mystery
3. The killer after murdering Chapman and Eddowes removed the organs at
the crime scene. There is clear evidence to show this didn't happen.
4. A handful of names have been banded about over the years as being
prime suspects. Clearly this is wrong as i have previously stated those
mainstream names are really to be regarded not as prime suspects but
simply persons of interest
Take all of the above away from this mystery and what is left nothing more than a serious of similar unsolved murders with no real prime suspects and had it not been for the above pillars those murders would have drifted into obscurity years ago and the myth that is jtr would have died.
No wonder so many on here want to keep it alive and not accept new theories etc just imagine the repercussions if the myth were to be shattered.
Ripperology would die not that it isn't already dying on the outside world and I can tell you that from first hand experiences and information I have gathered over the past 12 months. The general public who have followed this mystery have over the years been misled by the press,televison and authors who have been responsible for distorting the facts little as they are surrounding this case in what they write and what they produce in programme form.
Very few know anything about the MM
Very few know anything about the apron piece
Very few know if she was wearing an apron the night she was murdered
Very few know anything about the viability of the so called band of prime suspects other than what they have read in books or seen on the TV.
What is Ripperolgy about here and on other forums nothing more than a handful of researchers who sit on a daily basis some all day long, holding court going over and over the same topics and discussing the same issues and re posting arguments over and over again to assert their viewpoints over someone who dares to go against their thinking.
Granted there are one or two newbies who join but they don't seem to stay long and
As to me my time in Ripperology is almost at an end. Other valued contributors have already left for good I have to ask why ? Maybe as a result of the actions of the cartel, and oh yes there is a cartel but they hide under the banner of "friends" They constantly pat each other on the back when one of them posts some obscure document which has no relevance to the murders or the mystery.
I do not intend to post further on here I have new projects to pursue. If anyone wishes to contact me then they should use my e mail address
So my friends may I wish you all a happy new year for 2014 some of you have been a challenge but thankfully you haven't won.
