DCP to Bond: "You are a narcissist"

[_Mister Scratch]

It seems that our dear, beloved Bond...James Bond has managed to stir up the wasp's nest that is Prof. P.'s self-consciousness. Many here will no doubt recall that Boaz & Lidia fairly recently posted a provocatively-titled thread called, "DCP Gets Laid!" Posters who were lured into scrolling down to the bottom of the post were treated to.... an image of the Good Professor at a speaking engagement in Hawai'i. Elsewhere in the thread, Bond noted that he found DCP to be "unattractive." Well, it seems that this struck a very, very deep nerve for The Good Professor, who, over the years, has had to endure all manner of insults directed at his person. This particular barb from Bond...James Bond struck so deep that DCP carried on about it over many posts on a poll thread (started by Runtu/John W) over on the aptly named MADboard:

If "a physically unattractive human specimen" such as I may be permitted to address the universally-acknowledged Apollo of the twenty-first century:

Book of Mormon historical accuracy in the Americas can be examined with evidence or the lack there of. Currently the pendulum is heavily swung in the "lack there of" direction.

Not all of us agree with you on that claim.

Here's Bond's reply:

Glad to see you're still reading the other board Danny.

As to Universal Apollo...well that will only be proven when I get the results in from Sri Lanka and Outer Mongolia. I'm still at 100% with 99% of the precincts in, but I won't declare total victory until all the votes have been counted.

Yes! DCP does read this board! I'd be willing to bet that his usual session consists of him tuning in and using the Search function in order to try and find posts about himself. (Odd that, considering his later labeling Bond a "Narcissus.")

Here's The Good Professor's reply:

I look in every week or so.

I see that you're still insulting and personally demeaning. Does that gratify you in some way, O paragon of human beauty?

Don't worry, though, dear readers---Bond is equally adept at this game:

I see that you're still insulting and personally demeaning.

With those squinty eyes of yours I doubt you can see all that much.

Does that gratify you in some way,

Somewhat. I'm in a 12 Step Program to reach full gratification through personal insults.

O paragon of human beauty?

Well you got me there.

LOL! Wow, what an acerbic wit! So much so, in fact, that Bond received this scolding:

Knock it off, Bond.

Save your personal insults for your home board, where they fit in so well. They add nothing of value here.

The reply:

Talk to your boy who brought it up an issue from another board here rather than doing it on the board where it was mentioned.

Now dig *this* eruption of spite:

Talk to your boy who brought it up here rather than doing it on the other board.

Really now, young Adonis.

You think that I should show up on your hate-site to discuss with my critics there whether I'm really as physically disgusting and personally horrific as they agree I am?

Wouldn't that be interesting and useful!

I haven't the slightest interest in discussing the topic of your hatred and loathing for me. My post above alluded to it, but addressed another subject. I was merely curious to see whether you would be even slightly embarrassed by your insulting remark. You're not. I've learned what I wanted to know.

Really, now? When has DCP ever apologized for any of his various insulting marks, which he has been doling out for years? (Yes, yes, I do know that he apologized once for his Quinn smear campaign, although let's face it: that seemed pretty disingenuous and self-serving. Speaking of which, we are nearing the two year anniversary of Quinngate, meaning that a fresh re-assessment of the facts will be in order! How exciting!)

Anyways, Bond's rejoinder, as was to be expected, is solid:

Why should I be embarrassed? I stated my honest opinion of your physical makeup. Not attractive. I didn't call you horrific or disgusting, just not attractive. Why do you care what I think anyway?

Hey you can at least trumpet that you're married and have kids, Ph. D. Books published.......trumpet away.


Also (since you edited your post) hatred? Now really...you give yourself to much credit. I only hate untasty foods such as peas, liver, and brussel sprouts.

Wow... The Good Professor actually edited his post in order to include the word "hate"??? C'mon, doesn't that seem like a bit of spin?

Later, we get the kreme-de-la-kreme of the thread:

You don't know something...you believe something. There's a difference.

Do you know that he doesn't know, young Narcissus? Or do you merely believe that he doesn't know?

Elsewhere, The Good Professor calls Bond a "Ganymede."

Eventually, the thread was shut down by Skylla at John W's request. Silly? Yes. But entertaining nonetheless.

I have to say that I thought it wrong of Bond to be so nasty in describing Dr. Peterson in the first place. Sure Bond himself may be the culmination of natures perfected beauty, but he doesn't have to rub it in does he? Besides, the beauty of youth is fleeting and if judged on the Planet Tatooine, the tables would be reversed.

Yep, comments on personal appearance are unhelpful to say the least. It is ironic, however, that I never would have seen Bond's comments had Dr. Peterson not brought them up over there. When the thread devolved into a back and forth between the two of them, I asked them to close it.

Yes. I think the thread is a case study in the lows that DCP will stoop to merely for the sake of scoring rhetorical points. Did his comments have anything whatsoever to do with the thread? No, of course not. Were his comments a rather cheap means for him to get back at Bond, knowing full well that Argos, Orpheus, and et. al. would have his back? Yes, absolutely.

Moksha: By any chance are you referring to the beauty, as it were, of the Hutts?

[_Doctor Steuss]

I happen to think he's a rather good-looking fellow. Not as good-looking as my man-crush Terryl Givens, but a disarming attractive je ne sais quoi abounds nonetheless.

<---- Not as good looking as Bond either.

I know nothing of the beauty of the Hutts, but I do think they practiced polygamy.

Bond can bear my cup any day.

Yeah good stuff from DCP...what was so weird about the whole thing was I never made a claim to being an Apollo, Narcissus, paradigm of beauty whatever on the thread over here. When DCP tried to bust my chops I returned wit in kind, but I never made any claims to being God's gift to women or whatever on the original thread. Personally I was beginning to wonder if he was thinking about my beauty a bit too much.

[_Bond...James Bond]

I'm not sure what that means... but I will gladly oblige as long as it doesn't rile your other man candy.

What? You're totally better looking than me. Your Hulk like build alone would make most people swoon.

And you can grow a beard like an animal...that shows your virility.
