Sam Sloan RIP -- the truth
|
|
| Angelo De Pa1ma 2005-02-22, 3:48 am |
|
A very reliable source confirmed to me tonight at the USATE that Sam Sloan
has indeed died. The source is one you'll recognize for his unwavering
dedication to truth, justice, and the American Way. None other than Sam
Sloan himself. No, not Sam S1oan but Samuel ("Call me Ishmael") Sloan.
Actually Sam didn't tell me he died, not directly. He answered "maybe" when
I asked him point blank if he did indeed kick the bucket.
I was thinking of a clever way to milk this for everything it's worth but
couldn't think of anything.
The reason he hasn't been posting is he no longer has internet service. He
believes it's only a temporary situation.
To all of you pathetic turds who were wishing him dead, so sorry.
Angelo DePalma
By the way I scored 4.5-.5 in the five games I played. We were supposed to
play Tim Hanke's team in round five this morning but all of them were sick
and dropped out.

| Well said! It is indeed pathetic to get so upset over somebody's
newsgroup postings as to wish him or her dead. Maybe some of you who
wallow in the hateful vitriol need to take a step away from RGC...even
more than Sloan himself.

You'd think the folks who contributed to his lawsuit could throw him a few
dimes so he can still fight the good fight here.

Thank you for your kind solicitations, but though you have made a correct
guess, the conversation you refer to above never took place.
It didn't take place for a good reason, and the reason is that I was not at
USATE.
I notice you have put a 'one' in your email name instead of an 'el', so it
reads "Angelo De Pa1ma" and not "Angelo De Palma", which means that you are
probably the forger who has been stalking me for a long time and who
accused me of accusing Tony Miles of being a drug addict shortly after he
died, which I never did. If anyone knows what the real name of Angelo De
Palma is, let me know.
Also, I will never die, as I correctly predicted four years ago in this
posting -
<http://groups-beta.google.com/group...s/msg/7740c9057
7fc567a>
Grandmaster Tony Miles is, however, already truly dead. He punched me
during the Dubai Olympiad for telling the truth that he got to play first
board for his team only because he shouted the loudest. It is not clear
what role his remorse for the assault upon me played in his tragic death.
I am, however, alive, though, and will be posting in this manner until the
POP3 arrangements with my ISP have normalized. I apologize for any distress
or inconvenience that my non-death may have caused.
I will soon be putting the details of my split-up with Kayo on my website.
The rumor that she ran off with Tim Hanke is false, as anyone who knows
what Hanke looks like would find easy to understand. I am tempted to say
that Hanke even makes Tom Dorsch look attractive, which is an
impossibility.

Hey dumbasses,
I changed the "l" to a "1" in my name field (for newsgroup postings) after
Booz noticed the "1" in the Sam S1oan forgery posts.
If I changed the name to "Abraham Lincoln" would you think I was really
honest Abe?

Good point, Mike. Actually, my father was the only one of six children who
chose to go to college rather than follow the family tradition of farming as a
profession. Farm land has been a good investment in my family over the years,
but it's plenty obvious that Larry spreads more manure on his.

Bauer means farmer in German. It also means pawn.

Generally, a Bauer is a peon or serf. Someone who does all the work.

No, the word Bauer does not hold any connotation of slavery. It is a neutral
word, meaning just farmer.
And I know: Meine Grossväter waren Bauern.But they were neither peons nor
serfs.

My recollection was that Bauer also may have referred to a peasant, perhaps
because there were lots of peasant farmers at one time?

Thanks for the transation assistance, my high school German was never all that
great. Based on that definition, we can rule out serf, but I suppose one could
still be a peasant farmer.

I still prefer to promote Bauers to Dames when they reach the 8th/1st rank. I
did once underpromote to a Springer to give a useful check in a game. I can't
recall ever underpromoting to a Laufer or a Turm. Hmmmmm.

Hans,
That's the modern meaning, but has it always meant only that? What is the
etymology of this word?
I found this on the Web, "Definition: From Middle High German "bure" or
"bur" meaning farmer or peasant."
Best regards,
George John

I, on the other hand, must admit that I am not sure about the exact
definition of peasant farmer. Does this include hired hands working at
farms? As I understand Bauer (and its Danish equivalent) this designates a
person who has some degree of independency. Like many other concepts this
one too probably has blurred borders.

Yes, words do change with time. My etymological dictionary does not have an
entry for Bauer, or Danish: Bonde. In fact the Danish word Bonde is hardly
used anymore, except for a pawn, but in German Bauer is still used.
Best wishes,

It is not translated into Anglo Saxon, although there is a word BAYRE: fit,
convenient. It might be thought that an overseer of farmers would be a
BAILIFF, [if Ba~ was a stem for a social rank, as in "baron"] but this word
has a different etymology, from Old French, baillir, to hold, to govern, and
itself from the L. bajilare. Although the word is compounded with A. Sax in
Bailiwick [~wick a village, L. vicus].
BARE: has half a dozen meanings in A. Sax, including boar. (When this is
allegorical it indicates potential princely qualities). The root Bar~ has an
exceptionally large quantity of agricultural or landscape associations.
I would be interested to read of any other early spelling forms to make
other comparisons. [I haven't looked at George's bur~ as yet].

What exact intended distinction was Randy Bauer attempting to
make between a 'farmer' and a 'peasant' and in what context?
It seems to me that the term 'peasant' may have some negative
connotations in the United States today that it may *not necessarily*
have had at some other times in some other societies.

it is not a slight against woman, it is a scientific fact."

There's a 1998 Austrian film, 'Die Siebtelbauern' (the film's
title in English is 'The Inheritors'), which seems to explore
some of the class distinctions between 'farmers' and 'peasants'.
