It doesn't really surprise me much that Jersey Girl (of all people) is here kicking up an over-dramatic storm, apparently without having bothered to read the original thread in its entirety.
After DCP's "joke" thread, I went ahead and looked into the appropriate legal channels. I came away with the understanding that I ought simply to make note of the threat, when it occurred, and how DCP responded, etc. I also made it very clear to Dr. Peterson that I don't find these "jokes" to be very funny. He can claim that he is using "absurdist" humor, or whatever else. I don't really care---tell it to the judge, is what I say. I'm sure that men guilty of sexual harassment also feel that they were "just joking."
But, in lieu of Dr. Shades's remarks, I think that DCP has gotten the message, and I believe that, in the future, he will refrain from stooping to such behavior. So there is (hopefully) no real need to go rooting around in this issue. It *is* interesting to note, though, that he apparently wanted to use the occasion as a means of getting himself banned from the board. Just imagine the "martyr points" he could have racked up that way!
What a miserable little world you live in Scratch. You really don't get it, do you?
