ok if jack the ripper was a doctor or a surgeon he would have known the blood would set up and be thick, he would have known this so he would have sent the message sooner. unless it's all a trick to throw people off the track of him being a doctor of some sort, but him not knowing the blood would thicken seems to give a little bit away [ The previous bit of randomness was unsigned (please use four ~ symbols at the end of a talk page comment) but by User:206.106.97.100 ]

OK, but there's no reason to think the killer actually sent the letter in the first place, and no reason to believe he took any blood from any crime scene to turn into ink, and no reason to, well, even worry about it. DreamGuy 16:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Who wrote it

Recently we've had some new editors adding claims that they got from a recent television documentary as if it proves who the author was. This kind of content violates our WP:NPOV policy, as it takes a side. Furthermore, this documentary (and the book it was based upon) is not the originator of these kinds of claims: there have been a number of theories and they have been included in a great number of books and other documentaries already. It'd be misleading to readers if all they heard about was the most recent one, as they'd think it was a new idea or uncontroversial or etc. If we do have some info here in this article sometime about the theories concerning who wrote this letter, it needs to be balanced and better sourced.
