HA! :p
Where is batboy?
I got to around 37 or so and quit reading. It reminded me of some kid in Freshman English trying to BS an essay test with quantity and zero quality.
He very could have done: 1. because we say so....100. because we say so
The following is a concise distillation of Rob G's argument:
The fundraiser must be legitimate because:
1. Progressives are smart
2. There's like details and stuff that can be easily verified (by law enforcement)
3. Republicans are meanies.

Sold me!
Okay - I am switching sides!
That Robbie is one persausive, convincing lad!!!

Good question. Where is goodboy?
I don't think he has posted in 2 or 3 days, unless I've missed it.
It's either backpedaling, or "hey, I'm as reasonable as the next guy, if I see evidence of fraud, I'll follow the facts."

It appears to me that Ben goes through a continuous cycle like the extra large load cycle on your washing machine repeated over and over. First he plays nice guy and appears objective for a time, than he is the devil incarnate and intimidates, threatens and becomes nasty, and then he goes into the poor me victim mode. Wash, rinse, spin. Wash, rinse, spin. Wash, rinse, spin.
I think that post put him at the end of his wash cycle going right into the rinse. Waiting for the spin.
I got that impression also. It came from some sort of statement where he said he 'wasn't taking sides' to paraphrase it. He also made a statement in which he said he would apologize if it proved to be fraud. That was the first time since the DU post (where he questioned everything) that he hasn't been adamant that there is no fraud. Those two made thing there is a movement from the hard line stance he was putting up before.
But he's only $10 away from... aw... never mind, this bit's getting old. (Donate today!)
Anybody know what this thing is?? It's crawling all over silenceofthescams forum. I went to the website and it's in another language.

Has the Andyscam truly gone international? Interesting if the Chinese communists are watching the fundraising debacle.
Or maybe someone is spoofing it:

The spider doesn't care about the content as I understand. It just crawls around the web picking up 'stuff' for a search engine database.
Maybe we should stop calling him the Round Red One?
I gather with all the chicken talk DU must be getting spiders from Kentucky.
