Dr. DCP Discusses Dr. Scratch on the MAD Board

[_Molok]

In Stemelbow's world if someone jokes about killing you, you are required to get their permission to use their joke as a quote. But he doesn't have any kind of mental problems, oh no. He's a normal and well adjusted member of society.

Stem,

For your reading pleasure: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6758&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=483

Allow me to present it in screenplay format so you don't have to bother with the link:

On July 7, 2008:
GoodK (7:54pm): 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.

Dan Peterson (8:24pm): He may be hiding in the bushes outside my house.

Trevor (8:31pm): Does that thought excite you?

Dan Peterson (8:34pm) 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?

Trevor (8:43pm): I'll take that as a big "yes." Scratch couldn't have hoped for a better response from you.

Dan Peterson (9:24pm): And I'll assume that you're joking. Absolutely everything I say is grist for Scratch's mill, a watershed moment in the history of Mopologetics, an embarrassing debacle, etc., etc., and so forth.

Trevor (9:54pm):Why go to all of that trouble, when you can have more fun making joke threats against his life here? Seems to me Scratch has become quite an entertaining diversion for you. And why not?

Dan Peterson (10:22pm):Oh my. I think this is a watershed moment in the history of Mopologetics, an embarrassing debacle, a stunning revelation, and so forth. "Peterson threatens to murder Scratch!" 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.


Hope that this has been helpful.

Also the complete context of the contrempts begins with WS/Wheat/Ghost of Rockwell on runtu's blog fantasizing about the Danites "effect[ing] a quick and permanent solution to ... pseudo-intellectuals like [Blixa]..."

The only way Scratch's sig line makes DCP look bad is if DCP doesn't clearly denounce the kind of "joshing" his friend has indulged in. Instead, as far as I know, his response has only been to assert that WS has privately denied making the quote(s) in question. And then dragging his "outrage" out over several pages on two different boards.

For the record--and as an explicit response to the continuing lies being perpetrated by the denizens of the bastion of "truth" affectionately known as the Great and Spacious Trailer Park--I have only posted there using two monikers: "William Schryver" (which I used until I disabled it when Dan Peterson and I first vowed to leave that place) and "Will Schryver" (under which name I registered after Dan started posting there again, and I yielded to the temptation to join him). Just a few days after Dan deleted his account, I then disabled my "Will Schryver" account and vowed, with Dan, to never again yield to the temptation to return in order to address their multiplicity of lies and misrepresentations.

As is the case with Dan (as far as I know), all of the posts I have ever made there are stamped with my own in real life identity--unlike the overwhelming majority of the anonymous posters there who do not have the courage to do so.

It will be interesting to see how long they will continue to attack us notwithstanding the fact that we refuse to participate there any more. They are a mob whose thirst for blood (metaphorically speaking) cannot be satiated.

He's in hardcore troll mode now, complete with an almost sexualized persecution fantasy and crocodile tears. :D

If Wheat/Will didn't approve of the message, I would think he wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

Look I don't care about the message. I'm just taking issue with the people who think DCP should not take issue with Scratch using the quote as a sig line. All I know is Will has denied being Wheat, Dan has taken issue with the sig line which mentions him and posters here are going after Dan for taking issue with it.

Why should DCP have any say whatsoever about Scratch's sig, which quotes Will, not DCP?

I honestly do not even know what you're talking about in your responses to me or about me in this thread. I did not suggest anything you keep attributing to me.

For your reading pleasure

How is that supposed to be for my reading pleasure? Three years ago DCP made some uncomely joke and these three years later you're still upset about the joke? Who cares? I realize the connection and all, but that just makes it all the more troublesome to me. Why use a quote from ol' Wheat, or Will if you are so adamant about that, which alludes to a joke made by Peterson and leave it sans context? IT WAS A JOKE. No one is going to shoot Scratch.

I don't see why any of it makes him look bad. He has, as you know, denounced the notion of violence for folks like you. Its fine for him to take issue with a sig line from a guy who has been after him for so long, if the sig line can in anyway paint him as something he is not. I can't believe how simple this is and how its being totally complicated by you guys in some effort to complain about DCP and support Scratch. Its weird.

Thanks guys. You've been helpful.

Remind me again - is Dan upset about the use of this quote? Can somebody please post, to this thread, actual DCP quotes that show he is bothered by this quote?

Thanks,

Well that's as obvious as the nose on your face, Buffalo. The quote, if taken from its context of being a joke, puts DCP in a bad light. Why wouldn't DCP have the right to say something about it seeing as people see the quote on a daily basis?

He took issue with it, Toronto. he took such issue that he posted a thread mentioning it and questioning it on MDD and Liz's board. Since then many have gone after DCP for making mention of it.
