Poll: Will this case ever be solved?

[Sophie]

Where did I claim to have found the simple solution? Do you just type stuff?

HOTYH, are you itching for an argument?

Have you actually read this thread and what you have been saying? Were you too busy quoting a treatise on Occam to pay much attention to what you were writing yourself.

I very much doubt that you wrote in a sentence that you had found the simple solution. That is nonetheless what most of the thread has been about. I begin to understand your pretty literal interpretation on the RN.

 

[BBB167893]

You're right.

You do what you're good at; I'll do what I'm good at.

 

[Sophie]

This has been a treasure trove for me. Thanks.

Excellent. Confucius says: You can never have enough discussions where someone cuts'n'pastes entire sections of a treatise on Occam's Razor...

 

[Holdontoyourhat]

You said there were three intruders. How did you see them getting into the house, getting JBR from her room upstairs which presumably they'd have to find, going to kitchen and giving her pineapple, going to wine cellar and possibly killing her and getting out of the house if not on their feet? Levitation? Legerdemain?

Your sarcasm aside, I don't see them giving her pineapple in the kitchen. Thats an RDI myth.

I see them getting into the house and finding JBR's bedroom as somewhat less complicated than, say, getting into the International Space Station. The front door perhaps? An unlocked basement window? The stairs? Thats a toughy.

I took the poll. I voted the "rice is cooked".

That was for the benefit of those who seem to believe the idea is in any way owned by RDI.

 

[Holdontoyourhat]

I didn't like the options. Most or all options insinuated guilt of innocent people.

I didn't read it that way but then again I haven't followed this thread and the discussion on it. I just saw the poll and voted.

I'll be honest. I dont' usually follow JonBenet's threads. I've read as much as I could about her murder but for the life of me I can't come to a definative conclusion as to who would have murdered her or even why they would have. That's just my own opinion though.

That's why I said the "rice is cooked". The opportunity to solve her Murder IMHO has passed, that window in time has closed. There wasn't enough done in the beginning regardless of why or what we perceive as the why...it's just too late. The forensics just aren't there to support any theory in my mind actually. I really wish that there would be Justice for JonBenet, I hope I am completely wrong...I really do...but I think my Grandchildren will be looking at this case and speculating. JMHO.

I would've voted if these were the options:

Yes, someone will spontaneously recognize the handwriting
Yes, A witness will come forward.
No, because they got away with it
No, because not all UN countries share DNA
Yes, the case is already solved and LE is waiting to see what they do next.
No, important tips were ignored or leads were missed during RDI craze.

No he doesn't. Keep it up, though you might get lucky and stumble on something somebody actually does say.

God, anyone else, and I'd think they were being sarcastic. In your case, I bet you Googled 'Confucius' then found a list of his pearls of wisdom. Heads up: there's a grand tradition of attributing sayings to Confucius and I may forget how very literal you are and carry on the tradition. No need to Google.

Anyway, HOTYH, your motives for carrying on this discussion (which neither of us should be proud of, BTW) are a bit opaque. I enjoy this site and very much like the people on here and don't want to be banned. I'm also not malicious and wouldn't like to see you being banned. So I suggest we shake hands and stop boring everyone else. OK?

There is no 'we'.

I find this to be trite and petty. I'm not required to abide by your standards for anything. What I read, what I post, how I post, what thread I post on, who I quote, when I paste, what I google, what my motives are, or how boring 'we' are. How many little rules are in your little rule book anyway? I think you do just kinda go on and on without realizing it.

 

[Sophie]

Suggest you check with the relevant parts of Websleuths for the rules, HOTYH. Or else speak to Tricia.

I don't really care what you do: it's your membership of the board to do with as you see fit. However, I find our exchange faintly embarrassing, believe it to be boring and it isn't especially inclusive or calculated to encourage others to join the debate ,and I respect our lovely fellow posters too much to bore them any further with this self-indulgent rot.

So whatever you do, it'll be without my participation.

Hugs dear, :blowkiss:

I don't see that. Not just because of my personal feelings; just the way they're phrased.

Look, I'll admit that the fourth option DOES imply RDI. But with the rest of them, those options could apply to ANYBODY.

Oddly, I don't come here for tea and scones.

Perhaps its boring because you've chosen to make it so. Remember, though, that boredom is a sign of...

..we'll just call it a sign of an inactive mind.

Let me ask you two parting questions:

Do you think I think a socialist wrote the note?

What do you think is the biggest all-time symbol of socialism on the planet?

 

[madeleine]

I always wondered why they needed two lawyers.
Even their lawyers said at some point that they were expecting charges and have been preparing their clients.

Two lawyers because they were expecting two different charges,murder and accessory to murder .

Why else need separate lawyers,they were a family who only needed some advice because cops were annoying and pushy ,right?

It doesn't really fit anywhere, but today is JB's birthday. She'd be 19.

Happy Birthday, Little Princess.

Okay, sorry to get off subject.

No kidding. This is also the anniversary ST quit.

 

[BBB167893]

No kidding. This is also the anniversary ST quit.

All I ask is a brief moment of sentiment.

 

[Holdontoyourhat]

Times like this I'm glad you're so sentimental.

TY. Is it a coincidence ST quit on this day 11 years ago?
