Online Apologetics and "Collateral Damage"

[_harmony]

Incidentally, do you support Scartch's legal threat?

Actually, I don't think it was a legal threat. I think it was a threat of legal action (I'm sure you can figure out the difference.)

And I don't support threats of legal action, no matter where they pop up on the boards. I think there are other more effective ways of dealing with various posters.

Heh heh heh. My cunning plan to unmask Master Scartch may be working! If he attempts to sue me, he'll have to reveal his real identity -- which, I'm guessing, isn't "Mister Scratch."

My attorney advised me to simply keep track of your threats. You have been told to cease the behavior, so that's that. I'm sure you can tell the judge that it was "all a joke," just like men guilty of sexual harassment have done.

DCP has absolutely zero interest in such a scenario at the present time, and finds it difficult to imagine ever being interested. DCP has been at the receiving end of Scartch's virtually ceaseless character assassination for at least two years now.

None of my posts could reasonably be construed as "character assassination." I've merely commented upon your own words. Certainly I've never stooped to the kind of direct attack that is the stock-in-trade of both yourself as a poster, and the FARMS Review.

Sc[ratch] would have to suspend his campaign of spin and personal defamation for at least a year or two for such a possibility to be even remotely realistic, although publicly repudiating his crusade and apologizing for it might shorten the waiting period.

Likewise, you would have to suspend your Mopologetic campaign, and publicly repudiate the many attacks you have launched on critics. You would also have to apologize for such things as your "whisper campaigns" against Robert Ritner and Mike Quinn.

You're right. I don't believe it is actually possible to stoop "up."

Then prove it, LoaP.

I will personally testify that Dr. Peterson harbors HI. Not under oath, mind you.

What do you mean by "HI", ck?

I would also just like to add that I take Dr. Peterson's threats on my life very seriously, and I don't much find them funny. If he wants to issue an apology, I'm sure that would go a good ways towards patching up the damage he has done.

Typically, "homicidal ideation"; less often, "homicidal intent." But, I was, of course, jesting, as I hope you are, Scratch.

I was guessing you were just messing up on the symbol for hydrogen or hydrogen sulfide.

Dr. Peterson may be full of many things, but not homocidal intent.

Could this be a veiled reference (in a puntastic sort of way) that Doctor Peterson was a culprit in the bombing of Pearl Harbor, HI?

I knew it!

*Dun, dun, duuunnnn…*

I was guessing it stood for Hormonal Imbalance. Or Humor Impairment. Maybe Heretical Ideologies.
