Scratch,
just a couple of comments, since I am obviously never going to wean you away from your paranoid delusions about the SCMC.

1) I am not Kemara.
I haven't received clear evidence from you on this.
Yes you have. I clearly and unequivocally said so. How much clearer could it be?
Tell us, Scratchy: what, if anything, would you accept as "evidence" in this case? Inquiring minds want to know!
A message from a FAIR moderator indicating that you and Kemara have separate IP addresses would do it. Or a statement on this board from Kemara.
Yeah, like you'd believe either of them. You would, of course, simply accuse them of lying.

Really? Who are they? Will I have the opportunity to confront my anonymous accusers, or do you conduct all your trials in the Inquisition style?
The Dude, among others.
Oh, well. Need I say more?

I'm also the only person here with first-hand knowledge thereof.
I don't consider you to be a reliable source on this. Sorry.
That's all right; no need to apologise. Habitual liars invariably expect others to habitually lie.

Actually there is
no good reason to believe that I would lie about this. Unlike some others, I have no lies on record.
Actually, unless I'm mistaken, you got caught in a lie some time ago that involved, I believe, the BYU basketball team.
I think you're mistaken. But only because I can't for the life of me imagine why you would make
that up.
You see, not only have I never told such a falsehood, I have no recollection of ever posting anything about the BYU basketball team. I have practically no knowledge of them so as to post anything about them anyway. But just in case you had made an honest mistake, I did a search to see what if anything I might have said about them that someone might possibly have misunderstood. I got one (1) hit in which I actually said anything at all about basketball. Here it is:
Basketball's okay. If you like to watch ten tall millionaires in their underwear jumping up and down regularly every 55 seconds.
There it is; my one and only basketball statement. Where's the lie?
Okay, no problem---I will remove the bit about Kemara being female.
Good.
And let us take a moment to reflect that the same highly reliable sources who think Kemara is female also think he's me.

Consisting of what, precisely?
Clippings of what people have published. That's what.
Not just published, but spoken, too. There's good reason to believe that the SCMC maintains files on BYU students---i.e., material gathered by BYU's spying rings.
Your delusions are becoming increasingly entertaining. Wilkinson has been dead for some considerable time.
And since no-one was ever "hauled... into a four-hour interrogation" at the behest of the SCMC, and since the allegedly "powerful, authoritarian organization" has neither the power nor the authority to detain anyone against their will, I hardly see why that label is any more appropriate for the SCMC.
Well, I definitely think it has the power to do that. I think the two stories---DCP's acquaintance and the women discussed by Quinn---are perfect examples.
You're right: the way you manipulate these tales are indeed perfect examples of your technique.
What you've cited proves nothing, especially nothing vis-a-vis the SCMC. All this demonstrates is that the man thought DCP was a nice guy. That there was a certain degree of subterfuge going on (i.e., DCP was acting like a sort of "secret agent", operating for the same agence that the man had issues with) certainly doesn't help to efface the label of "Orwellian."
The only "subterfuge" consisted in not using a phrase that had gained a lot of unfair negative associations, by dint of the same kind of dishonest propaganda you are here propagating.
Since Professor Peterson was not actually employed by the SCMC in any capacity, that doesn't seem very much like "subterfuge" to me. It isn't as if he--just for instance--falsely pretended to be sympathetic with the person's views so as to blindside him, like certain parties habitually did on the FAIRBoards.

As you perfectly well know, that is false. You keep demanding that I tell you what is wrong with your blog, and (falsely) promising to correct it; so I have. You will not keep your promise, as usual.
But I have done my part,
as you asked.
I never asked you anything.
Do I have to dredge up all the quotes where you keep saying things like "tell me what's wrong with my blog and I'll fix it?"
Yes, you asked.

Pahoran
