I suggest that Will Pitt ALWAYS be referred to as Pied Piper Purple Prose Pitt.
I dunno, I kinda like PunIdiot Pitt........LOL It suits his writing style, which is in a word tedious!

For those watching the DUmmie "William Pitt" this past week was surely a wondrous one, full of explosive fireworks, on the heels of several weeks of utter silence on this subject from the DUmmie "William Pitt."
It appears the DUmmie "William Pitt" finally read what had been said about him.....about four weeks too late.
The guy is hurt, angry, insulted, and it showed.
This is reminescent of a similar event about nine weeks ago, when the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson finally discovered the DUmmie FUnnies, and were alas for them three weeks too late.
One suspects that during his weeks of silence on the matter, the DUmmie "William Pitt" had been ignoring the DUmmie FUnnies, the DUmmie Alert!s, and conservativeunderground, voluntarily unaware that such places were commenting upon his silence.
This has always mystified--and sometimes amused--me, this propensity of some segments in our society to ignore the "political opposition" as if it did not exist, or did not count.
It should be no wonder they keep losing elections.
Okay, so I am a Republican and a conservative, and hang around a great deal on Republican and conservative web-sites.....but I hang around a lot more on Democratic and liberal web-sites, to see what is going on, on the other side of the aisle.
Many people (of all political stripes) tend to hang around those whose values and perceptions match their own, for affirmation of those values and perceptions; by being along with like-thinking people, they feel strengthened, reinforced.
But a truly confident person has no need for "team support;" strong enough in his values and confident of his perceptions, he feels utterly unthreatened scouting around for values and perceptions different from his own.
Perhaps the DUmmie "William Pitt" is unsure and shaky in his own political convictions, and so as to reinforce them, hangs around with his own crowd, fearful of looking into what another crowd is doing or saying, lest his political convictions get shattered.
Which is no sign of a person confident about himself.
And it has obvious disadvantages, not looking at what "other side" is saying or doing.
When the DUmmiette "sfexpat2000" started the fund-raiser the afternoon of April 28, 2005, she should have posted her solicitation in DUmmieland, and immediately parked herself in front of the DUmmie FUnnies, to see what was being said about the matter, from the other side. If she had done that, the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson would have been aware of their missteps, their contradicitons, their omissions, in time to correct such things.
But no, instead, the DUmmiette "sfexpat2000" hung around her own crowd, in the comfortable cocoon of DUmmieland, voluntarily unaware of the furor outside, and the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson were three weeks--three weeks!--three weeks!--three weeks!--too late in seeing what the DUmmie FUnnies were saying about the matter, after which it was far too late to correct matters.
Such behavior--not looking to see what is going on in the great big wide world outside--I had compared with four affluent old dowagers (and remember, with only one exception, the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson are not young) gathering for their Wednesday afternoon bridge game, in an affluent living room with large picture-windows on all four sides.
While the rich old ladies gab and gossip around the card-table, in that living room with large windows all around, a tornado suddenly sweeps though.....and they indignantly wonder what had hit them.
The situation of the DUmmie "William Pitt" is more analogous to that of a post-office clerk in Germany the spring of 1945 (this is a true story, told me a long time ago by a British army veteran who had actually seen the sight); the guy so meticulous, so scrupulous in his duties, that he was unaware of the wider world outside.
While the post-office clerk was noting the number of staples, sheets of paper, various denominations of postage stamps, the metal and paper contents of the till, the British army swept through his town; much destruction, shooting, explosions, buildings falling down.
But the post-office clerk was so diligent in his tasks that he remained oblivious, utterly ignorant, of the noise and tumult and fire and smoke outside his front window, until he had finished accounting for the final pencil-stub and paper-clip.
Only then did he look up, look outside the windows upon his destroyed village, and in stunned shock and awe, stuttered, "What happened?"
"I read it that he wanted ashcroft to die."
What irony!!!
In a fashion of a 9ht grader in his/her first creative writing class. Pitt writes purple prose. He uses short sentences. For emphasis. Because it gets attention. And seems intellectual. And he uses big words. Because they too look "smart." Because no one else owns a thesaurus.
Even his self-inflated name "William Rivers Pitt" suggests an inferiority complex. I mean that is quite a handle for a substitute high school teacher.
I suggest that Will Pitt ALWAYS be referred to as Pied Piper Purple Prose Pitt.

Now the M*th*rf*ck*rs are claiming Andy Stephenson died of AIDS!
Is there no end to their calumny?
Is there a GBLT lawyer in the house? I believe that making such an allegation is Per Se libel in most states, is it not?
Would any of you take this case pro bono

Well, it appears death was caused by a post-operative infection.
I'm thinking HIV might have played a big part. However, because of the laws on this, it probably won't be revealed.

Thanks, CH. My linking skills aren't the best.
Hey, I come from the Land of Linkin'.
One question keeps occurring to me: The Andyites are going to sue us for WHAT? I'm no lawyer, but isn't there a little thing called "standing" that they need to have in order to file any kind of suit? What is their standing in this instance? Plus, as Charles has said, none of us had any motive or desire to see Andy dead. We only had questions about the fundraising. I don't know of anyone here who tried to actually interfere with the fundraising. We were only discussing it, and we weren't the only ones who had questions.
benburch---The DUmmie who threatened to MURDER franksolich. He had his death threat deleted from DUmmieland but we here preserved it.
I deserved that. :-)
Are you talking about Kaposi sarcoma?
I'm just now catching up after a long day, so someone may have brought this up.
First of all, his mouth (among other things) should be cleaned out with soap.
Second, his post implies that all of us are saying for sure that Andy died of AIDS. Read this thread and you can see that such is not the case. What most all of us agree on is what the DUers themselves have reported: that Andy died of an infection. I myself described at length how easily an infection can get through any break in the skin and kill any person for any number of reasons. And even PJ only speculated that HIV might have been a major factor.
Third, it is no secret that Andy was an open and proud member of the homosexual community and thus engaged in activity that put him at high risk for acquiring an immune deficiency. So it is not a far leap to consider that as a possible factor. However, again, Andy could have gotten that infection for any number of reasons.
Fourth, benburch implies that saying someone may have acquired HIV or AIDS is a "calumny" and "libel."
Fifth, benburch fails to report all the other things said on this thread, as though that one comment were representative of the whole.
We preserved a lot of stuff.
You know, if the acolytes of Andy really had attorneys, they would shut up, because that would be the first counsel their attorneys would give them.
Benny, Benny, Benny! Since when has it become libleous to speculate? Are you off your meds again? benburch fails to mention our discussion about him calling for the murder of franksolich. And the last I checked, THAT was definitely against the law.
Given the fact that Andy is openly gay, musing that there could have had some immune system problems is not a stretch by any means. I was thinking it myself.
A couple posters on that thread delicately (and cryptically) tried to suggest to him that his outrage about AIDS was offensive to the gay community, but I don't think he's listening.
I'm speculating on benburch's SANITY.
Can someone please clarify again for me what actually happened with PayPal? Did one person asking for his or her $10 back hold up all the PayPal money--or just that person's $10? And did that person's complaint/request cause a delay in the surgery from May 10 to May 25? I thought it was lost checks in the mailroom or a "super duper test" that caused the delay.
Furthermore, did not that person have a right to ask for his or her money back, or to voice legitimate concerns about the questionable fundraiser--a fundraiser which Andy insiders themselves have admitted was not handled properly?
Also, would Johns Hopkins actually have delayed urgent pancreatic cancer surgery because of a holdup in some of the funds?
