Indeed, he may be someone of such low character that should he (unwisely) choose to sue Scratch, as he has said he may be inclined to do, Scratch might be able to defeat such a suit by arguing that DCP is a "libel-proof plaintiff," i.e., one whose reputation generally is so low already that he can't suffer damages for loss of reputation caused by defamatory remarks. Someone like a Jerry Sandusky or O.J. Simpson would certainly be libel-proof plaintiffs. Whether DCP would be adjudged a libel-proof plaintiff is, of course, a legal question on which I am not opining; I am merely suggesting that it is a possible defense that anyone sued by DCP for defamation could consider asserting.

DCP is like a 4 year old boy walking down a borrow pit after a rain: he looks for every mud puddle and jumps right in the middle of it.
And then complains that someone threw mud at him.

Indeed. And if he weren't crying every time he did so, it wouldn't be half as funny.

DCP didn't help his case by posting the following, but then DCP's posts frequently fail to help his cause:
DCP wrote:Have his efforts hurt my reputation? Probably. But possibly not among more than a handful of people already disposed to disdain me and all my works. Has he hurt my career? Probably not. But it’s difficult to be certain. These are areas of ambiguity.

He does seem determined to provide Scratch an iron-clad defense against any suit he might be contemplating.
I loved his recent comment, by the by:

So, I have a question for Kishkumen, Sockpuppet, wangchung etc.
You all are so sure that Jason Echols is NOT scratch. Does that mean that you know Jason Echols in real life? Do any of you know him, other than know of him or know of his chino blanco persona?

I have been Facebook friends with Jason Echols for some time, and I have interacted with Scratch in chat enough to know that these two guys could not possibly be the same person.
Are they both smart men? Yes.
Are they both connected to Mormonism? Yes.
Beyond that, I see no similarity whatsoever.

Both Dr Scratch and Everybody Wang Chung have reported a lunch they had together in the last couple of months (yes, I'm still feeling left out). Everybody Wang Chung has attested to Dr Scratch not being Jason Echols.
So, Alter Idem, why do you persist in Pahoran's fantasy?

Alter,
I have never met or interacted with Jason Echols. Although I recently googled him and have seen his photo.
I do know Dr. Scratch personally and have met him face to face. I know his real name, I know his profession I know the town he lives in and I even know a little bit about his family. However, I would never divulge ANY of this information without Dr. Scratch's prior approval.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that Dr. Scratch is not Jason Echols. The truth is, Dr. Scratch really isn't that concerned if someone does find out his in real life. It's fairly amusing to him that there is such a huge witch hunt by many Mopologists to find out his in real life.
