amber, since you wren't around when this all happened, let me fill you in on something as well...

at first, scott LOVED the attention. as steven mentioned, he did joke about it plenty right after it happened, so everybody else took his cue and did the same. he started getting a little sensitive about the whole thing, though, because the jokes were spilling into every thread he posted in (and some threads he wasn't posting in, too) instead of just his self-created 'craigslist hooker thread.' if, by the way, you haven't read that thread, do yourself a favor and read it: http://vinylcollective.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30267

you've been a member of this board for not even 6 weeks and you have already learned something pretty profound, as you demonstrated earlier...

to me that kind of screams "attention whore" since they KNOW what kind of reaction they'll get. while it's good for a laugh, it just causes a lot of drama.

scott had been around for months and months by the time he made the craigslist thread. he knew exactly what he was doing. he knew exactly the reactions he would get. but that is neither here nor there. the point is, once the jokes started spilling into other threads, you could tell he was getting upset about it. it was clear he regretted his decision (maybe not the decision to do what he did, but at least the decision to tell everybody online) and told everybody enough was enough with the jokes.

it took a couple more days for people to get it out of their system, but for the most part everybody obliged and let it go. now here's the crazy part: for somebody who claimed to not want the spotlight anymore, scott did some pretty attention-whore-ish things. he bumped the thread a few weeks later saying he wanted to do it again. then, when the floodgates opened and everybody started joking about it again, he huffed and puffed and quit the boards "for good" because he was sick of it.

instead of just taking a little time off from the board, he took the drastic measure of deleting his account (which had just happened with somebody else a couple weeks earlier and everybody made a big deal about it because it was such an obvious cry for attention, as was ackowledged by scott, himself, in that thread). so scott deleted his account like a drama queen and came back not even one month later under a different name. he could have continued posting and nobody would have known any different, but HE STARTED JOKING ABOUT THE HOOKER(S) AGAIN.

everybody had dropped it. it wasn't a big deal anymore. but HE kept bringing it up. i understand that you're friends with him in real life, and i appreciate that you're trying to stick up for him. but honestly, you don't know the story behind it all because you just weren't here then. it's not your fault, that's just the way it is. and now you're only getting one (very skewed) side of the story because of course scott doesn't want to make himself look dumb when he's talking to you. so before you go around getting all self-righteous and calling people out for giving him shit, realize that he brought it on himself and when he'd realize he wasn't being talked about anymore, he'd bring it up again.

Dan for Mod. I love Scott. We've pm'd about. Dude is funny as hell and awesome. But he kept bringing it up. I can honestly say if it bothered him so much he needed to stop with the "i can make fun of my brother but none of you guys can make fun of my brother!" shit and just put the story to rest. You can't wink at a joke and expect people on a message board not to take that as a sign you've grown up a bit and have come to terms with eating out a hooker.

I can safely say that I know more than anyone else on this board about what's going on with scott and he is just not at a good place right now. He really thought he had some good friends here (and he still does) but for the most part he doesn't want to be reminded of that really shitty time in his life over and over again. When you live in a small town, this is what constitutes a social life- I was stuck in one for 19 years. I did the same thing- try to branch out and meet people online because no one IRL had similar interests with me.

I don't like seeing his name just dragged through the dirt but since I'm new I'll shut up. I just really have to stick up for someone I consider one of my best friends. You'll never meet a more genuine, real person than Scott- he doesn't hide anything and isn't afraid to show who he is...even if that makes him vulnerable to attacks like this.

Let him be remembered for being a rad dude with a side of internet legend...he deserves more than to be the "craigslist hooker guy".

He is a rad dude. I wish he'd taken my advice in May when I told him "if you're ashamed of it say 'hey guys can it die' and never speak of it again." he didn't. his name isn't being dragged through the mud. people are talking about a story he shared with them and personally joked about for a long time. I hope the dude feels better but there were ways of saying "it isn't funny" beyond deleting his account.
