I am guessing Scratch feels much like you do right now...
That's a statement of protection.
The same as saying "The thought of a grizzly bear makes me wish that my assault rifle weren't in my neighbor's gun safe." That doesn't mean I want to seek out and destroy all grizzly bears -- just that I want to protect myself and my family.
No. It was said in the spirit of giddy revenge. This was the entire post:
It makes me wish that my assault rifle weren't in my neighbor's gun safe.
Do you realize that the barrel of that gun actually begins almost to glow when I fire a few rounds?
What's funny about this comment is that I hadn't been around for some time. I had been away from the board for some weeks, as I recall. Eric turned up and said:
Ironically, Scratch hasn't shown up once on this thread. I hope he is off vacationing somewhere nice, not thinking about you or this place.
To which Dr. Peterson replied:
He may be hiding in the bushes outside my house.
...which in turn led to DCP's now-infamous post about the "assault rifle."
You have to admit, this is pretty hilarious (i.e., him neurotically obsessing about me while I've been away) in light of his recent "experiment."
Later in the thread, he elaborated further upon his hostile and violent fantasies:
Actually, I simply had an image in my mind of him hopping on his little goat hoofs down the street, to the tune of bulllets from an AK-47 ricocheting off the asphalt under them. ("Dance, pardner!") Nothing quite so bloody as you suggest.
The thread is really pretty remarkable, and of historical important as far as MDB is concerned. It's the one where DCP's "outing" of GoodK got discussed in some detail. Based on what I can tell, I hadn't participated on the board for a full two weeks, and perhaps more, and yet here was Dr. Peterson, "joking" about firing an AK-47 at me.
