Why All The CFR?

[_Ray A]

You've been caught out, Scratch. You're not only a bare-faced liar, you unscrupulously try to cover up your tracks with lying sophistry!

[_Mister Scratch]

No, I didn't, Ray. If you can find proof that I did, then I will eat crow. Otherwise, I reckon that you owe me an apology.

Well, here are more exchanges:

Me:

However, Scratch, let me add a qualifier to my post above. We all know who "Infymus" is, we know his real name. We know his background, his experiences, and his feelings about Mormonism.

Scratch:

How do you know his name? Did he announce it somewhere? Or was it leaked by Stan Barker & et. al.?

What in hell does Stan Barker have to do with MDB? Scratch has no clue I'm referring this this board!

Yes, Ray---that's correct. I did not have any "clue" that you were referring to MDB....

After being informed, Scratch wrote:

Edited to add: No---I mean in the first instance. Of course he posts it now. But did he just come out and say it back then? Or was he "outed" by DCP? (My emphasis)

After Scratch's "CFR", here is what Shades wrote:

Mister Scratch: You asked a straightforward question, so you deserve a straightforward answer:

For a time, Infymus would "sign off" his posts with his real name, similar to the way Wade Englund does.

I guess Shades was as "duped" as I was, but still offered him the answer HE (Scratch) sought!

Scratch's reply:

Ah, I see. Thank you, Shades. The other part of my question is this: Was Infymus doing this "sign-off" thing back during the time when DCP and the SHIELDS crew would have excerpted that email of his?

And Scatch knew that Infymus posted here under his real name?

No. (And this is precisely why reading comprehension is a key component of college entry exams.) As you'll see from my "Thank you" to Dr. Shades, there were two (2) components to my "CFR": 1. How do we know Infymus's in real life name? and 2. And what point did we first find it out? Shades provided an asnwer to "1."---i.e., that Infymus "signed off" with it here on MDB. However, that didn't (and still does not) answer the second half of my CFR, which, I note for the third time now, you still haven't addressed.

Give it up, Scratch, Saddam's Minister for Information had more credibility than you.

When did Infymus's in real life name first make an appearance on the Web, Ray? This is the fourth time I have asked.

You can ask 10,000 times, and that's still not the issue. Now, do have a good week, I have more important things to do in the next few days than reply to MDB's Chief Minister for [mis]Information.

Very well. You can go ahead and throw in the towel for what is probably the umpteenth time. I have enjoyed kicking your butt yet again. I do hope, though, Ray, that one day you will recover from your embarrassment over the "Many Faces of Ray A" thread, so that you can move on with your life. You see, Ray: flip-floppers like you can leave Mr. Scratch, but you can't leave Mr. Scratch alone. What a pity! If only you'd allow yourself to come into the loving embrace!

I can't resist this:

"Today we slaughtered them in the airport. They are out of Saddam International Airport."

"The force that was in the airport, this force was destroyed."

"We're giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn't accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted."

"Their infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad. Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected."

"Today I have visited whole Baghdad city, no invaders found. You go and see how we have ousted them from this city. They are cying outside and waiting to receive bullets. They will be killed shortly."

Ooooh! Wow, Ray You sure stuck it to me that time! Phew! What a zinger! Man, if only *I* could learn how to apply straw men and ad homs like you....
