And now, pursuant to my original goals, this whole DCP thread is about me.

It shouldn't be, of course, but you go out of your way to be such a dick that a thread often becomes about you. Cease with your standard attack on the messenger (and his/her anonymity) and just respond to the substance of the thread, and we can have an intelligent conversation. Isn't that the whole point of a "discussion board"?

There simply is no courage in anonymity, especially when you're trashing the professional reputation of a real person. I'm not being a bully by simply pointing that out, nor do I think I can legitimately bully an anonymous poster.

I would call the email that was sent to me a form of bullying. It contained suggestions about contacting my bosses. Rollo is right on the money on that account.

Well, I didn't do that and have never done anything like that, no matter what the bozos on this board have said about me. (For those who said I have, post the proof.)
But, as I pointed out to The Dude a little while back, I question internet addiction and what it drives respectable people like you to do on the public dime. He took that as a threat; I just point it out.

Sigh ... it's not an issue of "courage" -- it's simply an issue of prudence and common sense when it comes to cyberspace.
... especially when you're trashing the professional reputation of a real person.
No one has "trashed" DCP's professional reputation -- he's done that all by himself.

Well, your observation on that has all the validity of the accusations against Peterson for posting in these fora. Unlike you, I don't do billable hours. If you understood academics as well as you love to bluster about it, you wouldn't say stupid things like that.
But no, you did not send the email.

No, what you do is reveal your in real life ID, & then when something comes up about you that is public knowledge but which you don't like having discussed here, you falsely say "it's personal." It's much more honorable to do it that way.

Just a thought.
Is that even possible? How could he cc different emails?
