But that' doesn't make either DCP or Pahoran look suspicious at all.

Okay...now.

No more suspicious than when Pahoran threatened to reveal embarrassing information about DarthJ.

With regard to the naming of DJ on this board, I have to give Pahoran a pass on that because his first name was already on the board. I know because I put it here a long time ago and with DJ's prior consent. I don't recall the details of the embarrassing information part...I think it had something to do with life/work circumstances and I don't know how he got hold of that.

In any case, he would do well to hide his crazy because this "dog with a bone" knows it when she sees it.

:-)

Okay, enough of this crap.

Hmmm. I am reminded of Seneca's letter to the Senate explaining Nero's matricide:

Tacitus, Annals 14.11 wrote:So now it was not Nero, whose brutality was far beyond any remonstrance, but Seneca who was in ill repute, for having written a confession in such a style.


In other words, the explanation was so absurd, it may as well have been a confession.

Note:

DCP wrote:The accusation says that I was apparently so angry about somebody’s criticisms of me that I contacted the college or university with which he’s affiliated — I don’t know which one it might be, though I think I recall that it’s in Illinois, and I don’t know whether he’s a student or a member of the faculty, though I think he’s in philosophy — and tried to create difficulties with him there. (Perhaps I was attempting to have him fired. Who knows? I surely don’t.)


Where is Peterson getting these hazy details from?

Not Doctor Scratch.

If this is the first that Peterson has heard of this accusation, then why is he making up details that are not raised in Doctor Scratch's post?

Here is the extent of Doctor Scratch's accusation:

Doctor Scratch wrote:[DCP] tried to retaliate by contacting Mr. Stak's college and trying to get him in trouble.


If he was unfamiliar with the accusation before Scratch made it, where on earth is the rest of this stuff coming from? (Illinois, philosophy, student vs. faculty, loss of job, etc.)

I hadn't seen any reference to these details here. So where did Peterson get them?

LOL. Nice job lending credence to Scratch's story, DCP.

Yeah. That is the important part. The part to be concerned about. Not the poster's name. The fact that someone was digging up dirt on a poster and using this information in an attempt to intimidate that poster. I don't think the first name was ever the actual problem.

I don't recall details, I think I read about them from afar when I was banned.

The way I see it (and I don't like seeing it at all because I think it's all it's ridiculous from the get go) is that he either needs to accept the fact that he's "slumming" with MDB as a lurker or decide that he's above it all.

In other words, pick a spot and land on it.

But that's been said repeatedly and it may or may not have been said by me. Repeatedly.

Not to mention the fact that he needs to work on his skills in prevarication.

It is not beyond some to post to information about others. Daniel and Louis Midgley have posted in real life information, on MADB, about posters on this board. And lets not forget "Wangchung Gate". And someone outed Bcspace.

So it may be true that Daniel Peterson did not make the contact with a persons employer (if any contact was made). If contact was made, I would not be surprised if it was done by someone close to Peterson.

If you were right, he wouldn't be making up all of these things he doesn't remember about supposed facts Doctor Scratch never mentioned.

He has as good as confessed to doing this.

for what it's worth, I think Stak has been wise not to respond to any of this. There's no upside for him in getting involved.
