Man. That may be the harshest insult ever directed Bill's way.

Fortunately, he doesn't follow this board.

Maybe, but it was still funny. :razz:

Travelling is only one thing. Just recently Jason went on and on about how he drops $120 multiple times a month to pay for dinner for his family. Boy, I wish I had 500$ a month spare cash laying around to spend on dinner. And aren't you the one who always finds a way to bring up your master's degree? I'm not saying that you and Jason are terrible people, or that I'm a terrible person for dropping real-life things like this. I'm just saying that the humility of Mister Scratch, who doesn't ever see the need to drop these kinds of hints, is something we can admire.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

Mister Scratch seeks to assassinate the character of his targets from very, very deep cover. It wouldn't serve his agenda to reveal anything that might lead to anybody figuring out his identity.

It's not so much "humility" as stealthiness. Not for him the fate of the Trojan prophetess Cassandra!

Uh that was about once a month dude. And it was to make a point about money issues in thread on that topic if I recall.

Me too. I certainly don't do that. But again, bad example. The thread was about money issues and I used it to illustrate a relevant point.


And aren't you the one who always finds a way to bring up your master's degree?

Cough....!!!!!! :surprised: Humble?!?!??!! Hahahhhahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Well feel free to admire away. I personally find it hard to admire someone who uses innuendo to smear, spin and regularly anonymously engages in character assassination.

Don't worry, Jason. DCP has been threatening to reveal my private information for some time now. How he came by this information is anybody's guess, but the fact of the matter is that he somehow learned private details about my life, and he is now gleefully taunting me with that information.

Does that make you feel better?

Not even once.

And precisely what "private details of [your] life" do you imagine me to possess?

Do you imagine that I have a creepy network of anonymous "informants"? I don't, but would you find it sinister and unethical if I did? On what possible grounds could you object?

Scratch,

Let me make one thing clear. I do not wish you pain or problems. The only problem I have with you is how you do your exposes. It is one thing to present information in an objective way. It is another to do it in well, sorry, but, Jerry Springer style. Sure you do have some facts. But you imply the most nefarious and malicious intents on those you target with often small amounts of evidence. And your hyperbole in the process is over the top.

Given that fact that you target real people that are not anonymous, especially Dan Peterson, it seems more immoral in some ways to do from an anonymous position.

That is it. You may be a fine fellow otherwise. Some of what you post I have agreed with at times. But mostly I just have difficulty abiding they way you do what you do. It just seems wrong.

Sorry if that offends you or puts me on your jerk list.

What information do *you* think you possess? Are you sure you have your facts straight? How up do date is your "intel"?

Don't play dumb, Dan. I've never made any reference whatsoever to that information on any of these messageboards. If I had wanted it known or hinted at in any way (let alone by a hostile LDS apologist who has made threats against my life), then I would have posted the "hints" myself. I don't know where you got the information, but know for a fact that it did not come from me. I told this stuff to Runtu via a PM a couple of years ago, and was taunted with it by "Mr. Itchy," but aside from that, I've never made a peep.

The GPS tracking device in the heel of your shoe is still streaming data, and I have no reason to believe that it's been damaged or compromised.

On the other hand, the most recent call that I've received from my creepy network of anonymous "informants" was, lessee, almost five minutes ago. So my human-asset intel is a bit out of date. (Recession-motivated budget cuts, and all that.)

The pretense doesn't work with me, Scratch. I don't believe that you're a genuine paranoiac.
