Really? You can inflate Dr Scratch's comment that far? Learn something new everyday.


It is a quotation specifically designed to paint DCP as a person who dislikes Jews. Come now, Sock Puppet, even you can see this. If it were not the case, why make a thread about it?

We are informed today by you and stemelbow that we must take DCP at face value, so by the same token why do you not take Dr Scratch at face value and instead project onto him the conclusions you obviously drew in your mind?

Simon, has DCP done anything, posted anything, that you consider to have been misleading or disingenuous?

As I have repeatedly said: I am under no illusion that DCP is perfect.

And this is off topic.

Also, curiously, Scratch has said, multiple times, this gem to DCP:

If a man steps on your neck for long enough, eventually you are going to quit politely asking him to remove it.


How can one step on the neck of a pseudonym?

Because the history and context lead me elsewhere.

I am not about to get caught up in another Scratch/DCP/Mopologists exposure thread.

All I can say is the anonymous smear campaign Scratch has been on for five year plus against DCP and other, but mostly DCP is way beyond what he ever got back from DCP or others.

I have no interest in attempting to prove this point. It is my opinion having watched as well as trying to stay out of it.

Where I am at now is much different than where I was when I first started watching this nonesense. All the same I think it went and has gone far beyond reasonable exposure of what Scratch seemed to think was bad behavior.

The hyperbole, spin, innuendos and assumptions are just much more than I ever could buy into.

That is the way I see it. Agree or disagree, I really don't care.

So is there another thread where you are calling DCP to repentance, you know anytime over the last five years or so?

There is another thread where I repeatedly asked Scratch what DCP did that was so bad, but he was unable to answer.

You could have just said "no" to my question.

Drifting, stop being disingenuous. You know what this thread is about. If you don't want to participate then please don't. Go jump onto a Buffalo thread or something more at your level.

Adieu!
