Didn't Mitt Romney say recently that corporations are people?

One, and only one, however would have readers believe that the relationship is not reciprocal, and that he has been the 'victim' of a 5+ year crusade of character assassination. The recent episode that brought down thecafeteria showed just how much a participant DCP is to egging on the engagement between himself and Dr Scratch. And so, a number of partisans for DCP cry foul about Dr Scratch, when DCP himself delights in their tête à tête that both contribute in making very public.


Scratch's signature line, designed with the sole purpose of tormenting DCP, was the primary cause of the events that took place.


Please know and be sure, that I am supporting neither Scratch nor DCP. However, you fail to acknowledge that DCP himself carries a sig line which is a Scratch quote.

In other words, they both do it, Belmont. It's not as one sided as you would like to make it out to be.

Here is DCP's current signature line:

"Mormon Scholars Testify"
http://mormonscholarstestify.org/

We sit by and watch the Barbarian, we tolerate him; in the long stretches of peace we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence, his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creeds refreshes us; we laugh. But as we laugh, we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond: and on those faces there is no smile. (Hilaire Belloc, d. 1953)


I am sure he has had different signature lines, and may switch them frequently, and I have seen some Scratch sig lines on this board when he posted here -- I don't know. I do know it's two sided, but DCP doesn't post here.

Belmont,

My mention had specifically to do with the sig line that DCP carried on the now defunct Cafeteria forums.

DCP is free to post here whenever he wants.

Perhaps it is worth reminding the board what brought DCP and Scratch together in the first place.

Scratch?
DCP?

And this, my dear sock puppet, is why I'm consistly so fond of you. :-)

You'll get a bad wrap around here posting publicly such a thing.
