Why is it essential and necessary?

I think you are assuming that anyone, Jason included, with have the uptight Mormon response. That's DCP's gig, to threaten lawsuits any time someone might say something you don't like. It is not normal human conduct.

I think that if I were to ask any normal person, LDS or otherwise, what their response would be to being accused of being a cyber stalker for SIX years on the internet of a person they did not even know, their response would not be what Jason's was and they would think his was a very odd initial response. Most people, Mormon or otherwise, uptight or easygoing, don't like being accused of something so outrageous and wouldn't not laugh it off with a joke when first hearing of it. You are free to disagree with me.

Are you the genius who cooked up this hair-brained theory?
No, sorry, it wasn't me.
But, I have to tell you all, I'm not convinced (sorry Wangchung, but to take your word for it, I'd have to actually know who you are, and I don't, so I don't have any reason to believe you) it's just a hair brained theory or a silly fantasy.
Consider this. You find out that some BYU Professor you don't even know accused you of cyber stalking him for six years on his blog. What would be your response?
Would it be to joke around with him? as Jason did, Saying 'apology accepted' and 'Dude, you're a hoot..". No, An innocent person would have a very different response--the expected response would be to strongly deny it and call him crazy and maybe threaten to sue the guy.
in my opinion, Jason's response seemed to take it as a game. A game he was familiar with because he'd been playing it for years....
At least, that's how I see it.

And you probably think Oswald was not the lone shooter, right?

DCP seems unaware that truth is an absolute defense to defamation, or that for a statement to be defamatory it must be factual, not a statement of personal opinion or mere speculation. It would be interesting to see DCP's list of false factual statements by Scratch about DCP, resulting in harm to DCP's reputation, that DCP or his delusional lawyers think satisfy the legal elements of defamation.
I'd even be willing to bet DCP is a public figure, so he'd have to show reckless disregard for the truth.
