Pitiful Pitt has deleted every post from that thread. First it was just the negative ones, now every single one.

I had been keeping up with all the posts. There were over 100 posts to that thread.

I do hope someone captured it. It was good. I wonder if he or someone is following this thread and that's why he decided to delete it since we were watching it. Aaaaaarrrgghh is right! LOL

This may be the most important statement in the most important post I've read in the past four days. Kudos!

We see freaks murder children on the news
Obligatory "he was a quiet neighbor" comment

We see Islamic whackos beheading innocents on TV
"Oh, it's a good thing none of those Islamofacists live here....ya think?

But our human nature prevents us from believing that people we know, or THINK we know, are capable of monstrous deeds...

[IamCURIOUS_fellas]

good post, motzman!

first timer here, and will be back with other questions/ comments. I've been watching from afar and have some questions/comments that I've been burning to ask. Used to be a DUer but was banned from there - erm, for asking questions.

cu soon. I hope.

[franksolich]

Your two cents are worth a dollar, madam.

I agree; this is too important for infighting.

Basically, I ignore those comments that have nothing to do with our going ever onward, always forward. (Of course I read them, but I do not respond to them.)

[motzman]

I am glad you read the book

After I got scammed myself.

D'oh!!

Again, legitmate fundraisers are easily proved.

Until this one is (very highly unlikely) it should be viewed as a SCAM.

It's been weeks now, and there's NO DOCUMENTED PROOF that this is legit.

Where's the notarized letter from John's Hopkins letting us know this is legit? If this is legit, it would be EASY TO GET!

AND, it should have been provided PRIOR to any fund-raising efforts! Period!

[commonguymd]

We all appreciate your efforts to get information assembled. Can't wait to see what is put together. I want to apply some basic math principles based on web-donation statistics. I am sure someone can get their hands on what a typical donation link gets based on hits. We then put actual hit information for each website (I am sure that information is readily available) and apply that to the numbers. We will then start to see a picture of the magnitude.

Andy does look quite healthy - I agree with that. Matter of fact, I look in the mirror and start to think maybe I have pancreatic cancer - got ten bucks? lol

Welcome to FR, Curious.

LOL I was just at Pitiful Pitt's blog and PJ's beaver smoking a cigar pic popped up in the middle of the page. I was looking at the comments on the Andy posts and when I clicked "back" that DUmmie FUnnies beaver was right in the middle of my screen. When I scrolled down the page, it just kept multiplying. What the heck??????

[hipaatwo]

Thanks!

Bookmarking for later. Out to buy cat food and cigs.

[PJ-Comix]

Plus, to me, the carpet in pic of Andy looks to be dark blue and the furniture is striped. The flooring looks the same too. It's not a very clear pic though.

The LINT! THE LINT! Has anybody checked THE LINT! Thank God for Static Guard. I spray myself down with that stuff every day to keep lint from clinging to me. It was a LIFE SAVER. And thanx to our scientists during WWII who developed Static Guard to help win the War!

[Truth'sfriend]

It's not the embassy suits. I have stayed there on occasion for training at the Flight Safety Center at CMH.
The Lobby is one level.

Forgot to ping myself..DOH!

I don't know who's keeping track of these posts, but here's where Beth claimed she made the arrangements with the doctor's office...

15. It's actually very simple. I made the agreement with the doc's



office who then failed to communicate with the finance office at the hospital.

We will work it out, I know we will.

fyi,
Beth

Hey funny man, check out my post #2308. Was that your doing?

[PJ-Comix]

BTW, speaking of motels, did I ever tell you about the time we tossed an angry drunken Jehovah's Witness into a motel room so he could sleep off his drunk while throwing up all over himself?

And the funniest thing about the above sentence is that it ACTUALLY HAPPENED! Long story that I greatly abbreviated but those were the facts.

[Choose Ye This Day]

I hope somebody left the housekeeping staff a LARGE tip the next morning.

[PJ-Comix]

I had something happen even stranger to me this afternoon than getting a phone call from Andy. I'll put it like this. I was in a restaurant and just about everybody in there was staring at me.

Hint: It had something to do with the DUFUs.

[Charles Henrickson]

Out to buy cat food and cigs.

I can see buying the cat some food, but you really shouldn't get him cigarettes.

[IamCURIOUS_fellas]

first a couple of general comments - that I'm sure have been covered here many times but as this is my first opportunity to let go on it all, I feel the need to repeat...


1. Andy's donation drive on DU was a gross. negligent mishandling. I could not Believe how this was happening right before my eyes and ears... I could see the train wreck coming, how could nobody else? There was no formality to it at all - just a freaking hug fest, trust me, and fangs shown if anyone even came close to asking for proof (which btw would have saved Andy more trouble than anyone) And I'm no lawyer, brainiac or anything. I just am very sceptical of giving away money just on someone's ridiculous voucher like: 'O, can vouch for Andy because I Had Dinner With Him Once'. Good grief!

I had a few criticisms, questions, polite and enquiring, not caustic At All... and I got banned. Whether it was because of this I cannot say for certain as I have made repeated emails to the admins for clarification but have not had one reply in weeks.

2. I really don't know what to make of this Flip Flopping Will Pitt... I think I like the guy and feel he's being as honest as he can about it all.... BUT COME ON! how many times has he done this change of mind thing and sent the whole DU board into a tizzy whenever he decides to make 'a formal statement' on the issue? It's to the point of total ridiculousness. Andy must be some hell of a scammer to bring Will down like this.... because that's what it has become. Will's credibility has been notched down considerably because of all this.

3. As I am a very suspicious sort of character, maybe I'm reading Way more into these emails than are there... old DU posts taken from CU:

19. you may not have a bun in the oven, but you do have a little something



in your inbox.
hope you enjoy. and i'm so happy for you.
see, everything is getting better.

so call me crazy and paranoid, but to me this sounds like a Code to Andy....
Yes, he may be much 'richer' , right folks?
and gee I wonder what could be in his mailbox that would make it so happy? a total of funds recieved to date? Betting it's a bit more than $50. that Would make andy happy.

K, I'm done for now, almost. And I don't feel good about questioning all this but I wouldn't feel good Not questioning it either.

I still can't believe that Skinner, et al, could not fore see the possible disaster this has become. Astounding.

O, and one more thing - ironical that all threads about Andy have been deleted (actually I sorta understand this otherwise there'd be a civil war on there), can't talk about it, nope. But how many times have I heard there - Hey, the media Ain't Talking About the Memos, The Media isn't Covering Galloway Enough!

o my.

Wearing your beaver costume in public again, I see.
