DCP as symbol/placeholder

[_moksha]

I find a man on this website to be one of the rankest, nastiest human beings I've ever come across on the net and here no one bats an eye at his antics -- yet, they complain about nasty apologists.

Tried narrowing this down. Wish Moniker could furnish some more detail...

[_Daniel Peterson]

I am quite frankly disgusted with some of the things he has done in the past. I sure do hope he apologizes and repents.

I apologize for the part I played in the assassination of Harry Truman, the firebombing of Toronto, the destruction of Libya's rain forests, the giving of the Nobel Prize to Charo, and all of the analogous offenses that you seek to pin on me. I repent of them, every one.

Tarring people's reputations; ganging up on people; mocking; ridiculing; harassing; stalking; committing ad hominem attack; sneakily milking people for money; putting people down; leaking private information; etc., etc.

This is all nonsense, of course.

As is this, from one of Scartch's unfortunate victims:

Yes. And lets not forget tax evasion, as FARMS took a 20k deduction that it lied about paying to Dr. Peterson.

!!!!!!!

If you really believe this lunacy, turn us in!

FARMS, by the way, is a tax-exempt 501c3 foundation. It doesn't need tax deductions.

And while others on this board might not care, I do believe the merciless burning of fellow apologist rcrocket out of the canyon shows the kind of backstabbing and betrayal FARMS is capable of.

Could you please elucidate this? Are you trying to blame FARMS for last year's Southern California wildfires?

Unless I'm much mistaken, rcrocket's house was unharmed.

I think the early Peterson in full Skinny-L form was a little harsher than the middle Peterson.

I should have mentioned it before, but Skinny-L is a small private list, to which you have no access. Scartch has misled you. You don't really know much about Skinny-L. No more than Scartch does.

Tax evasion? What are you talking about?

Tutored by Master Scartch, he's falsely and slanderously alleging a federal offense:

Tax evasion is a felony and a very serious crime. A conviction for tax evasion can carry with it up to a five-year prison sentence and/or fines up to $100,000.

I should perhaps warn Scartch, Gadianton, and Dr. Shades that my patience for this sort of thing is not quite infinite.

I'm not sure that anybody is obliged to bear with it while anonymous slanderers casually and publicly accuse him of felonious crimes.

I always enjoy Dr. Peterson's posts, as long as they are not too long. His writing is bright and clever.

With all due respect, it strongly appears to me that Gadianton aimed this accusation at FARMS's accountant and not at you personally. (Let's face it, all anyone saw was FARMS's tax form, not your own.) To whit:

I vote with have a DCP free week, this constant focus on him is getting boring. Have we not got more substantive issues to discuss?

I was chairman of the board, a legally responsible officer of the Foundation.

This isn't funny; the false allegation of felonies goes beyond the limits of even spirited polemics.

It is, in fact, a textbook case of slander.

You have my vote.

Incidentally, as per your signature: I support the war in Afghanistan and the surge in Iraq, and I have a son in the military.

I already told Aussieguy over a year ago that my father was a Vietnam Vet (not drafted!) that received the purple heart, etc... etc... that is a Republican and served his country for years.

I also mentioned that unfortunate lil factoid (for him) that most military personnel self identify as Republican....

*chirp* *chirp*

Don't expect a change in the sig line. :)

I was chairman of the board, a legally responsible officer of the Foundation.

So... this is about an alledged $20,000 that the FARMS Foundation (I didn't even know there was a FARMS Foundation. What exactly is its purpose?) supposedly paid the chairman of it's Foundation board, but said it didn't pay? That could be very serious, especially if the fiduciary responsibility resides within the person that alledgedly was (or wasn't) paid.

Isn't that kinda like paying yourself? I agree; that's a very serious thing.

Boy, that one would be hard to prove, with a set of closed books.

Is the FARMS Foundation like the church, and keeps its books closed to public scrutiny?

This isn't funny; the false allegation of felonies goes beyond the limits of even spirited polemics.

That's why I originally asked the question. This is serious stuff and should be addressed appropriately (which means... not here.)

My youngest son is scheduled to be deployed to Iraq in March. I'm very nervous about it. Frankly, it scares me spitless.[/quote]

I would consider taking just about anything on this board seriously a sign of madness so I'll take that as a compliment.

Hey that is my excuse too, even though the madness is a bit obvious even without the seriousness.

[_The Nehor]

I would ask Scratch to come here and lay out all the evidence of this financial theft.

I believe the evidence consists of:

One of Scratchie's birdies finding FARMS public tax forms on a public site. Seeing DCP's name next to an amount without being clear as to what it says beyond that a payment was made that had something to do with DCP. This birdie was probably not an accountant or familiar with business or non-profit tax law. With this information it is extrapolated that DCP is an embezzler/getting money under the table from someone.

I'm not even suspicious. I know a little about this field. If you were to go over the tax books for any major university or foundation the names of their professors and academics would be all over them with time bought and sold without the person in question getting a penny. This is slander founded on malice and/or rank ignorance(with an emphasis on and).

To put it in perspective this is like someone going over your tax forms and seeing something they don't understand, deciding to accuse you of fraud.
