If you were under intense attack whenever you showed up here (and pretty commonly even when you didn't) from Scratch and Rollo Tomasi and Scratch and Beastie and Scratch and Rollo Tomasi and Scratch and poor antishock8 and Scratch and Rollo Tomasi and Scratch and Mercury and Scratch and Chap and Scratch and poor antishock8 and Scratch and Scottie and Scratch and Scratch and Scratch, you would probably have run up a few more posts, too.

You are not under "attack," my dear doctor. Rather, your and my (and everyone else's) posts are debated. Anyhoo, to continue the good will of this thread, I again applaud your reaching exaltation.


Disingenuous is your middle name. Anonymous.Coward is your first name.

And, no, I have never posted anonymously. When I used a pseudonym in the past I signed my name.


I have been inspired to follow this. I like Tarski as a screen name so I will keep it. But, from now on, I will sign my posts with my real name. I hope no one will try to take advantage of this knowledge.

Quite the contrary, I have seen a vigorous effort to defame Dr. Peterson on this board by several specific members, some, in fact, do attack.

Perhaps those few that bring up personal issues (like his appearance, family, etc.), but DCP seems to use "attack" to mean any disagreement with him. I call that "debate."

I call tracking DCP's every move and blowing any and all actions on his part far out of proportion, incuding the use of distortion and massive conjecture, leaps of logic, etc. attacking.

By and large, everything that is said here about DCP is based on his own posts and words here and elsewhere.

You know, it's funny, Rollo. We have LoaP using quite a large assertion, such as "tracking DCP's every move", and then he goes on to complain about "blowing any and all actions ... out of proportion." Maybe he was trying to be deliberately ironic?

Yeah, but it won't be for four (that's kind of fun to type... for four... for four), it will be for Intravenous.
