Yeah, that was creepy. Eta: his expertise knows no bounds. ---

I think his bounds know no expertise, in reality. ---

> [@TokyoBayer](#): > > The “expert“ is no one other than his own father! For a number of years he would regularly trot this out and clean his father was a staff member. When I finally cornered him on it it winds up his father was simply an enlisted man who one time typed up a memo to an officer on Mac’s staff!! IIRC Yeah, this one kills me. His father was a clerk/typist in a pool of clerk/typists that were used by everybody, not just MacArthur. But of course his father called MacArthur Doug, so **DrDeth** does too. His father, the clerk/typist, also piloted “Doug’s” plane while the pilot, copilot and navigator were all too busy doing paperwork to fly the plane. ---

I heard Dad was the first man to land on Omaha, Juno, Sword, Utah and Gold beaches on D-Day. He just borrowed Doug’s plane for a couple of days to get there on time, then flew back once he had secured the beaches. ---

I hope you’re reporting that. [If someone is “following you around consistently from forum to forum” and making negative comments right behind you, etc. , if there’s a significant pattern of that kind of behavior, yes, that’s harassment. And we throw people out for that.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stalking-harassment/507610/7) ---

DrDeth is going full-on gun nut in the “gun safety laws” GD thread. Got a mod note that really should have been a warning for taking a quote completely out of context and making a snarky comment about it. While in the meantime trying to advance some statistically ludicrous argument about the low ratio of gun homicides to total number of guns. What a total dumbfuck. ---

On a positive note, since his jackassity has escalated to the point where mods are warning about warnings (I guess that’s something) then he might be close to flaming out, in which case I’d only have 1 person on my ignore list. ---

He is the reason that I don’t even bother with any sort of gun thread anymore. Can have several posters having a reasoned, if disagreeing discussion. Then he comes in with his bullshit and trainwrecks the whole thing. ---

I also have two written accounts of that kamikaze attack, one by my dad and one by an officer he bumped into while looking for injured personnel, but I don’t know where they are at the moment. He’d probably accuse me of making them up, anyway. ---
