Scratch and DCP. Will it ever end?

[_harmony]

I selected that it will continue beyond the veil, but Life had better do some homework, because Gad is going to wipe the floor with him. At least Scratch and Daniel are somewhat evenly matched.

[_Yong Xi]

It will end.

Which of you is in a twelve-step program?

It is a clever poll, but I voted that I don't give a rat's ass. I'm fresh out of rat's asses, and when the new shipment comes in, they're all spoken for.

Welcome to the Lack of Rat's Ass Club. LORAC thanks you for your registration. By becoming a member, you have joined the ever increasing number of posters who no longer give a damn about who does what to whom, who is guilty or innocent, who has a valid opinion, who makes it up as they go along or has a leg to stand on.

I am. Or, anyway, I'm working through a twelve-step book. I want to see how the process works (mostly because of my calling as a bishop) and, in any event, I think that all of us are addicts to one thing or another. I freely admit that my interactions here typically waste my time and benefit me not at all, and that, rationally speaking, I ought to withdraw from them. That I'm still here nonetheless demonstrates that this is a kind of addiction.

Trouble is, I genuinely do find Mister Scratch (and, to a lesser but lately-increasing degree, Gadianton) psychologically fascinating, in a strange sort of way. I really do find the intensity and protracted character of Scratch's personal hostility stunning, and oddly intriguing. I observe it in almost hypnotized disbelief. (I'm being entirely candid here. This is really how I feel.)

I consider Mister Scratch to be a wise Person.

I consider Mister Scratch to be a wise Person.

I consider him a malevolently obsessive loon.

It appears that we disagree.

Well, I consider you to be a fat piece of crap. What's the point of your incessant character assassinations?

[_Daniel Peterson]

Well, I consider you to be a fat piece of s***.

It seems that we disagree.

What's the point of your incessant character assassinations?

I have no idea.

Ask Scratch. He's the one who does them.

As thread originator, I would prefer that such attacks stop. Otherwise, I'll just ask mods to close the thread. (I don't even know if they do such things.)

You don't consider calling someone a "malevolently obsessive loon" a kind of character assassination? I've seen you call him such things on several occasions. One might even say "incessantly." Perhaps you just consider it "name calling" which is nothing like character assassination?

Just curious what your rationale is on this one.
