I nominate Scratch as well. For the same reasons and more.

  • Stating he would do something if another poster simply asked. When that poster asked, Scratch then added on all of these absurd conditions.
  • Repeated character assassination threads, in the true TMZ style.
  • Frequent posting of real life information about people on his smear blog.
  • Stating a condition whereby anyone may remove any entry from his smear blog, but when the condition was met, removed the entry for a very short time before putting it back up.

This is not all, but I haven't all night to type out the crimes of Scratch.


Gee, Simon. When Scratch was skeptical of your having a master's in ethics, you wanted that thread moved to Telestial because it was a personal attack.

Yes, good call.

And there it will die.

Yet you are wholeheartedly participating in a thread about who is the jerk of the year.

You certainly are impressive as the board's self-proclaimed "moral voice."

It was a personal attack. So are most of Scratch's threads. Do you support them? The "Jerkhood of the Year" clearly fits Scratch.

It is better than blindly supporting a demagogue.

Awarding someone "jerkhood of the year" is also a personal attack. So just so we're clear on where the master of ethics stands:

Scratch questions Simon Belmont's claimed acumen in philosophy/ethics = personal attack that should be removed to Telestial

Simon Belmont calls Scratch the jerk of the year = he deserves it

For someone who doesn't like Scratch, you sure are doing a lot to support his theory of vendetta-driven Mormon apologetics.

I agree. That's why I don't do that.

Edit: In light of Jersey's post which was posted while I was writing this, I nominate myself: Simon Belmont.

First of all, I did not begin this thread. Whether it was here or on telestial, I would have likely nominated Scratch. Second, it is clearly tongue-in cheek and meant to be slightly humorous. That you didn't understand supports my position that you are, in fact, grimly humorless.

Not quite. Almost every thread Scratch starts is "DCP did this" or "From my Informant, so and so did this" they are attack threads, and it is my duty to call him out, as I have done here. The thread directed toward me was just another in a long storied line of attack threads that will, no doubt, never cease to be posted by Scratch.

For someone who doesn't like Scratch, you sure are doing a lot to support his theory of vendetta-driven Mormon apologetics.


He sure is doing a lot to support my theory of bigoted anti-Mormons with man crushs on DCP.

It is better than blindly supporting a demagogue.


I agree. That's why I don't do that.


I have not seen you once condemn Scratch for something he has said or done. Not once. Of course, it is obvious why -- he is in your tribe, and you must support those in your tribe.

Oh, so all of the things you said about Scratch are humorous, and not to be taken seriously?

Yes, as Saturday's Warrior, this is your duty.

Show me something that Scratch has said against Mormonism per se, Simon, as opposed to Mormon apologetics.

You're full of crap, Simon. You were participating in a thread where I did.

And I have also already responded to your ridiculous BS that I am in some "tribe."

How is Some_Schmo any different from anyone else?

I don't get it.

Hello,

I think, at this point, I would nominate Mr. Gordon. He has shown himself to be an abosultely uncaring and emotionless human being. It's a sad commentary on him, and his faith.
