DanielPeterson > Stephen Smoot

Stephen Smoot: "the collective sleuthing powers of the Doctor and his minions leave much to be desired."

They always have. But uncontrolled imagination and unrelenting malice compensate to at least some degree.
In my opinion, Smoot is involved in Neville Neville land, he may not be Peter, but he owns the domain. the customer ID in the who is lookup is the exact same as his personal blog. That is a unique identifier. Unless it is some other entity (like the more good foundation) that manages the social media presence of apologists. The other option is that it is the google LLC customer number for all urls registered via google.

Stephen Smoot: "P.S., my understanding from listening to Robert Boylan's interview with Spencer Kraus is that "Peter Pan" is some fellow down in Alabama named Richard Nygren. But whoever this Mr. Nygren may be I cannot say. I have never met him, nor have I ever corresponded with him online."

I've never so much as heard of him. I briefly looked for him online, but found nothing.
I'd like to think that he exists, though.

My bet is that he's one of my multiple personalities, just as you are.

But in the blog entry posted before that comment...
They think that it’s Steve Smoot — who is something of an obsession with my very obsessive anonymous Malevolent Stalker — or that it’s Dan Peterson, or that it’s Steve Smoot at the direction of Dan Peterson. Actually, it’s none of those. (I myself learned only a few months ago who it is, because s/he told me; until then I was almost as much in the dark on the subject as my Stalker is.)

So? Peterson was contacted a few months ago by the actual blogger, but 2 hours ago says he has "never so much as heard of him"?

Sure, DCP. Sure.
Dr. Peterson has enough on his hands trying to keep his own lies straight.

Do you have any means of looking into that bit about the "google LLC number" being the same for all urls?

The plot thickens. I noticed this comment was allowed to stand for about 5 minutes before DCP promptly removed it from SeN:

Stephen, on the POB it’s being reported that you own the domain for Neville Neville Land. Your customer ID in the whois lookup is the exact same your personal blog. That is a unique identifier.
Thoughts?

I’m not sure what he means by “unique identifier.” The number seems to be associated with the entity located at 96 Mowat in Toronto (https://tucowsdomains.com/tucows-domain-promise/).

96 Mowat is the address of Contact Privacy Inc. They provide the service of hiding the owner's personal information. Do a whois lookup of this site, and you will see who it is registered to. Might want to add privacy protection.

This link is the contract you sign with google to add privacy to your domain registration. In it, it breaks down what the registration will show as in a whois lookup, and states that the customer number is unique.
https://payments.google.com/payments/ap ... ?ldi=17212
https://contactprivacy.com/?action=wp_mailer_show_terms

In theory, if I registered multiple urls and added privacy, all my urls would have the same customer number, mine. But, the customer number for Neville Neville land is used with a bunch of other sites. So I think there might be a middle man (middle service) in play.

I agree. I couldn’t tell if the argument was that Customer 7151571251 was a unique identifier assigned to Smoot.

Which other sites are using the customer number?

Contact Privacy Inc. Customer 7151571251 appears in many websites and doesn’t seem to uniquely identify.

i think the starting dates for the Canadian-addressed domains and Smoot's location during those time frames provides better information:
