Thread Name: BS: Looks like another 'Ripper' out there.
Subject: RE: BS: Looks like another 'Ripper' out there.
Interested in, obsessed with, fascinated by, perhaps. But "enthusiasm"...
"Rapturous intensity of feeling on behalf of a person, cause etc, passionate eagerness in any pursuit" - that dictionary definition matches what I'd take as the current meaning.
And I'm not just being pedantic - the impression that comes across, in relation to these murders, is that the attitude towards them is not that far removed from the sense in that dictionary definition. And that is what my "Good grief" meant there.
