My point was simply that in this particular case, based on your wording in the opening statement, there was a little more reason for him to feel that way.
Now, let's get back to discussing the topic at hand. ;)
I have a couple of questions to ask you when I get back from running an errand. Stay tuned. :)
Daniel Peterson wrote:Well, I can see that I'm causing Scartcholeptic arousal, and I don't want to do that. Nothing should interfere with the Scartchmeister's therapy, because, as of now, it offers perhaps the only slim ray of hope that his heartrending pathology might be mitigated.
So it's time to offer up the relevant Standard Statement and to exit:
The following is a standard response: Master Scartch has devoted himself since at least 2006 to publicly defaming me while maintaining his anonymity. I flatly deny virtually every allegation Master Scartch has ever made against me, and this one is no exception. I regard Master Scartch as an obsessive and malevolent loon, and have decided to refrain from further gratifying his weird fixation on me and those connected with me. Attempting conversation with him over the past many months has accomplished precisely nothing, and is, plainly, a complete waste of my time, especially given the fact that it's his self-described "mission" and "amusement" to be "perceived" by "Mopologists" as "full of hate." (Scartch, MDB, 1 October 2008)
Besides, I'm headed to the opera. Life is a lot better than interacting with Master Scartch here would ever suggest, and that should not be forgotten.
Which is no more accurate than Daniel's naming Scratch a loon. Those who must resort to name-calling exhibit behavior more closely aligned with middle schoolers than adults.
Personally, I prefer to speak adult, not teenager.

b) He's too busy to be bothered with what he's actually doing by posting that he's too busy to be bothered with posting.
c) Scratch is crazy
2) Turn every_single_thread he posts on into a thread about him
3) Scampers off in a huff
End result? Thread derailed. Mission accomplished.
Not one f*****g' substantive contribution to this board, even though he claims that's something he wishes were possible. The Celestial Forum awaits... As always... For a thoughtful contribution from the Fat Man.
I have a suggestion. Ignore him.

Yes, but I've seen scratch act like a loon on the board. I've not seen DCP act like a "fag" ever. Besides, where are all the outraged folks who dislike the use of "fag" as an insult?
