I have never believed this to be true.

In the past, I've sometimes been altogether gone from message boards (because I was traveling in distant and frequently obscure places, without much access to the Internet and very busy) for as long as six or seven weeks. But when I've returned from such expeditions, he's still been at it, without any slackening of his malignant and obsessive zeal.

Well, I've now been utterly gone from his home message board for a full week. I've deleted my account there.

This should be a good test of the notion that, if I stop responding to him, he'll stop slandering me.

So far, the results are not positive.

He's posted about me several times since I quietly left his board, and, just minutes ago, he launched an entirely new thread devoted to criticizing me.

(He once promised never to start another such thread. That was, needless to say, many such threads ago.)

Does he mention this in a different thread there?

What an ugly and mean spirited-thread. Juilann should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Proof to the TBM and critic alike just how nasty the MAD Board can be.

Hey Dr. Scratch, keep your head up.

Don't forget the explanation that DCP owed us as to how any believing Mormon could honestly describe themselves as a rational empiricist (as DCP described himself on the Divining Rods and DCP thread).

Some of the folks over on the post mo board read the Divining Rods and DCP thread on MDB and were far less than impressed with DCP's behavior and performance.
