Wither Scott Adler?

[Lankypeters]

In his latest edition of "15 Minutes" (11/03), BN suggests Scott Adler may be wearing prison stripes -- now or very soon. As I've been out of the country, perhaps I've missed this news. Is it accurate? What details?

 

Can you blog from behind bars?

Well, lankypeters, you may not know that there is now a feature in your profile which shows all of your posts. And looking at that, I can see that you have been posting regularly. So if you've been out of town you've still managed to keep up the posting here.

Time do fly. I see I'm back two weeks plus. But I was away from home and the board for most of October.

 

In any event.......did I miss some skinny?

In a word, YES!

 

Search the archives for the skinny. (Edit: My mistake searching the archives here will not do much good. The one thread that survived does not actually include SA's name.) Your best bet for the skinny is a rather lengthy thread in the general forum at www.maleescortreview.com.

This is one storm I'm avoiding.....

 

Whoa...

The aftermath of the last one is still being felt in many of the cracks and crevices in this forum.

Hell, I spent 1 week in detention hall over making a sarcastic joke about this whole sad affair.

Drop it.

archives

 

I was not visiting this site much during what seems like a blowout. Guess I should check the archives, although I really like SA.

 

Lucky, you are more than welcome to check on how many times I posted. I did post several times, but only gave the message forum a quick once over, and never saw any threads about the person in question. Good detective work, Lucky. Though it kept a thread alive which otherwise I hoped might have dropped out of sight.

Hey, don't blame me! Several others have joined in and would have irregardless of what I said.

What has changed to move this from subject untouchable to just another thread?

There's no such word as "irregardless".

[MsGuy]

Irregardless of what Zipper may think, of course it's a word. Folks were saying irregardless before I was born and I'm OLD. Irregardless is even found in the Cambridge Online Dictionary. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=93149&dict=CALD

"Gazeek" isn't a word, "irregardless" is a word, nonstandard but a word. See the difference?

 

If you're inclined to play school marm, you need to be precise in your use of the language.

 

Edit: Just my opinion, but I think a good working rule for the forum would be that if a post's meaning can be deciphered, the language used is correct enough. What's the point in dressing up in our Sunday-go-to-meeting best here in the sandbox?

Good for you Zip. It drives me crazy as much as when people use that as much as when they misuse Then and Than.

A dumb as dirt statement if I ever heard one. Ms must stand for Mississippi

[uwsman2]

please stop hijacking threads with irrelevancies

 

The original poster asked what happened to Scott Adler. Almost everything else in this thread is a time-waster for anybody who opened the threat to try to find out. I seem to have missed this story as well, and clicking on the link that a poster included in his response was no help.

If somebody knows what the story is, please post it for those of us who opened this thread thinking it would have relevant information.

Thanks.

Irregardless of the above controversy, I am off to New york for some fun with friends. You guys figure out Scott Adler while I am gone, okay?

NO ONE can post the story here because each time it got posted it got D-E-L-E-T-E-D (multiple times). I provided a link (not a direct link...for the reason just mentioned.) The other site has a discussion forum similar to this one. If one uses some common sense and makes a few clicks to navigate oneself to the forums there; one will find a very lengthy thread on the subject in their general discussion area...that's the best that can be done here.

 

But for the Internet challenged:

That's right. Why try to speak and write well in any venue or format? If a grunt and a groan will do, then grunt and groan. "Ummgowah!" That means "serve the nuts." It helps if you point to what you want when you say it.

I figured him out a long time ago.

We'll do our best handling the controversy REGARDLESS of whether you're in NYC or not.

No - not really. You will note that the dictionary shows it as US nonstandard. That means that it is accepting it as a word because so many people make the mistake of adding the "ir" in front of "regardless". This is done out of ignorance and is another example of the corruption of the English language by those that don't know any better.

Kjun, as usual you've gotten right to the heart of the matter. Indeed Ms stands for Mississippi, there's no doubt I'm dumb as dirt and I'll add that my English is far from flawless. I would have thought that a fellow from Louisiana calling himself kjun would have at least a teeny tiny bit of tolerance for folks whose language varies from the norm , but, this isn't the first time I've been proved wrong.

 

Just one question, kjun. What greater good is being served by parachuting into a thread and fussing about another poster's English?

One of the more delightful words afforded by the vagaries of language.

 

The origin of irregardless is not known for certain, but the speculation among references is that it may be a blend, or portmanteau word, of irrespective and regardless, both of which are commonly accepted standard English words. By blending these words, an illogical word is created. Another possibility is that when people say "irregardless" they are following the pattern of words like irrational and irregular. "Since the prefix ir- means 'not' (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means 'without,' irregardless is a double negative." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Irregardless was first acknowledged in 1912 by the Wentworth American Dialect Dictionary as originating from western Indiana. Barely a decade later, the usage dispute over irregardless was such that, in 1923, Literary Digest published an article titled "Is There Such a Word as Irregardless in the English Language?" ...

... Let us now split famous infinitives!

I have never understood what turns otherwise normal individuals into fanatical language police. Whenever it happens, I remember my high school English teacher, who went ballistic whenever someone used the words "gotten" or "forgotten," which she claimed were illegitimate forms, the correct participles being "got" and "forgot," (as in "I have forgot where I put the condoms.") Although many would argue that the "ir-" prefix changes the meaning of "regardless" to its opposite, those who assume that English is always logical should pause before using "flammable" or "inflammable," which mean the same thing, even though "in-" before an adjective normally reverses the meaning of the stem. Arguments over whether "irregardless" is a word (it is) are really substitutes for arguments about which of us has had the higher class education. Americans are often surprised to discover that while middle class Britons use "isn't," the upper class uses "ain't" (okay, it's an affectation, but they do it to show off their class superiority).

He's awaiting trial on drug charges. This isn't his first time, hence, they've kept him in the klink. He'd gotten probabtion the last time. The old thread went away because it mentioned his real name.
