I don't know whether P is being a serious repeater from of DCP, or simply mocking him. His posts are a hoot.

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 would not laugh it off with a joke when first hearing of it. You are free to disagree with me.

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

Do you know any non-Mormons, in real life that is?

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.

Other than Jason's reaction to DCP's accusation, what makes you think he could be Scratch?

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.

Good point. Among other things, including his name dropping, public disclosures of all his travels and the "important things" he does, having his own page on Wikipedia would probably qualify him as a public figure for the purposes of a defense against libel.

Well, let me enlighten you. Just because Jason Echols is not Doctor Scratch does not mean he has been living under a rock. Judging by our mutual friends on Facebook, I would guess that somewhere over 20 of them are probably well familiar with Dr. Peterson, and, my guess is, he is familiar with him too.

That being the case, I have no problem seeing him reacting with bemusement at the prospect of being accused of being Peterson's "Malevolent Stalker."

And it looks like you are just as easily suckered as Peterson was. Whoever sent him this intel has taken him for a ride.

I will say that I did not come to the conclusion on only this most recent evidence and I'll admit I'm not sure he's the only one who is responsible for the Scratch posts.

I would answer you more, but Dr. Peterson has chosen to accept his denial and give him the benefit of the doubt and I'm not interested in going on a witch hunt, so I'll leave it at that.
