I mean, if you have a non-work-related email you feel like sharing with me, I'll send him a note asking for proof. It'll go something like this:

Title: Request for Harassing E-Mails

Dr. Cameron, NC for Me <bbwlover@aol.com>

Good Evening Mr. Peterson,

It has come to my attention you claimed you received upwards of five harassing e-mails daily from your critics. As you know, this has been discussed a bit on mormondiscussions.com and I wanted to verify your claim (since right now your reputation has taken a bit of a hit since the 2nd Watson Letter debacle, and the recent plagiarism scandal).

Please share with me your most recent 10 harassing e-mails, and I'll post them on the forum. I'll remove all personally identifying information, of course. Thank you for your cooperation.

Respectfully,

Dr. C

I guess it's just not working well enough to filter out all of those thousands of obscene emails.

According to the BYU Office of Technology, BYU filters out any obscene material from the internet and its email system.

That’s very cute, Everybody Wang Chung. So full of concern about BYU’s obscenity filter. I actually checked it. The threshold on the filter is 5.0, and these rate around 3 or 3.5. So no, they are not blocked.

I'm not concerned about BYU's obscenity filter. I am concerned that DCP is bearing false witness against Dr. Scratch and this board.

Has it ever occurred to you why DCP has allowed these alleged 5,000+ "obscene emails" in his inbox without modifying the filter or blocking the sender?

Come on Kish, 15 years and over 5,000 emails and DCP has taken no action to modify the filter and/or block the sender?

This is beyond ridiculous and strains credulity beyond the breaking point. Kish, you've been officially DCP'd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

You’re not? Shocking!

Yes, Doctor Scratch’s good name must be protected, which is probably the reason why neither DCP nor most other people, including me, know his real name.

Block a sender who rotates between numerous anonymous email services? Interesting idea. I have never investigating blocking all of these things, so I don’t know.

It has struck me that you have not read and digested what I have written on this thread. Perhaps it is more fun to pretend as though I had no clue that DCP finds it useful to receive such emails so that there is evidence of “enemies.” If I am going to receive it, he may think, why not see what it is about? Why not tell others the evidence of angry anti-Mormon opposition?

Why not say the mad Doctor Scratch is solely responsible?

Yeah, got it. I would be much more worried about our esteemed colleague if anyone, aside from you, Dean Robbers, and . . . knew his identity. As it stands, his fame as the great nemesis of DCP grows by leaps and bounds and he seems to be at little risk of being unmasked.

I guess I am not sure why we are not all happy with this arrangement. Someone can claim persecution to satisfy the prejudices of their audience, while someone else whose fans hate Mopologetics can reap the glory of being seen as a larger than life enemy of Mopologists.

Sure, it’s not all peaches and cream, but then notoriety requires some sacrifices.

I just want to note Mr. Peterson hasn't taken me up on the offer to provide proof that he's sitting on thousands of terrible emails from his critics. I'd like to re-extend my invitation for him to, for once, put the critics in their place and provide proof of his email harassers once and for all.

Cam,

Don't wait too long. It's been over 10 years and DCP still hasn't sent you the 2nd Watson Letter he promised:

I’ve had some time to mull things over, and I have arrived at a conclusion. This is the single worst talk that has ever been given in the history of Mopologetics. This is going to go down as a milestone. I don’t know if there are any avenues whereby an attendee might request a refund, but I’m certainly sympathetic.

I have to wonder if this is par for the course when it comes to DCP and his firesides. We all know how intellectually lazy DCP is and how much he "borrows," cuts and pastes from other sources.

If so, these people who attend DCP's firesides are not going to dontate to the Mormon Interpreter. This might be one of the reasons the Mormon Interpreter is in such fincial dire straits.
