>>Remember this quote of Scaughty's?
"Violence towards women is unapproachable," Scott Peterson said. "It is the most disgusting act, to me."
Wasn't that choice of words so strange? Unapproachable? Disgusting?<<
I think it was a stupid Freudian Slip on Snotty's part. I think he got the word "unapproachable" confused with "irreproachable" in that he thought the first word was the opposite of the second word (which it is not).
From Dictionary.com
irreproachable
adj : free of guilt; not subject to blame; "has lived a blameless life"; "of irreproachable character"; "an unimpeachable reputation" [syn: blameless, inculpable, unimpeachable]

Wasn't that choice of words so strange? Unapproachable? Definitely strange; I had wondered if he meant to say 'unacceptable.'

I never thought of that, I had thought that he meant to say "innapropriate" and got mixed up with the fact that he had approached laci (with intended violence). The contradiction led him to conflagrate the words.
