I'm a Woman?

Post by _Doctor Scratch »

At least, I am according to Dan Peterson:

DCP wrote:My most recent brazen attack on civility and religious tolerance:

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7001 ... chers.html

My Malevolent Stalker says -- and, surely, she would never say anything that was untrue -- that my columns are becoming more and more adversarial towards non-Mormons.
(emphasis added)

I'm having flashbacks to that stretch of time where LifeOnaPlate thought it would be cute/amusing to call me "Ms. Scratch" as a form of insult. I guess DCP thinks that sort of thing is "funny," too.

I thought Yahoo Bot was the one who started saying you had a feminine style of writing.

I also remember when everyone thought you were Rollo.

I'm beginning to think you're the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Maybe it was a simple typo?

I think that everyone here knows you're male.

He's really bizarrely fond of sophomoric insults. A big thing for people like him and pahoran is to take your name or username and turn it into something scatological. An odd pursuit for a PhD. Conversing with him gives me flashbacks to fifth grade.

Four possibilities:

  1. Typo
  2. Sexist insult
  3. DCP has finally figured out who you are and you really are a woman and he's taunting you with this knowledge
  4. DCP has finally figured out how to troll you

I'm kind of leaning towards 4. I think you just did exactly what Dan wanted you to do.

Is it a typo? Maybe. DCP tends to be very careful in terms of proofreading his posts, and I'm inclined to think that this was no accident. If it was, I hope he steps forward to clarify.

I don't know about that. I have seen him make typos before.

Lol. Could be, MsJack.
