3. My donation hasn't posted yet so I can't do a search ...
but last week or so he posted about a lovely date he'd saved for for months and some folks were very nasty to him.

5. Why would people be nasty to him because of that?
I think that's pretty neat, myself, I just wish I were the one he'd had the date with, lol!

2. What? You think he'd go running off because of that?
Short answer: yeah, he's been around. He happens to be on his book tour, and out of town.

7. stirring the pot?
I suspect Will is busy http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=htdig&restrict=&exclude=&method=and&format=builtin-long&sort=time&words=William+Rivers+Pitt


Not to worry though I'm sure he can take getting slammed for spending his money the way he wants too. Why bring it up again.....

din-din?

Give it a rest.

14. the way you brought it up
sounded sarcastic 'din-din'

I just didn't want to see another pile on of Pitt.

And no, really FU {that's sarcasm} :) Maybe you can understand why I read 'din-din' as sarcasm seeing as you experienced the nastiness that went on?:eyes:

15. I apologize Mel
My comment was uncalled for. No, I wasn't being sarcastic about Will. Peace and love to you, B

17. I apologize too
I just love Will so much I just didn't want to see someone be mean to him.
He along with so many other evil DU'ers have helped me since the selection.
I wouldn't have a hair left in my head if it wasn't for this place. :)


Once again, I apologize.



I guess, I was acting like an overprotective Mom?

19. He gave a temporary farewell address
that, as I recall, included "slaming" back for the Lounge thing about his dinner out (sorry, I didn't read or play in the orginal Lounge thread so you'll have to figure it out for yourselves!) and said he was going on the road.

If you search you'll undoubtedly find that post in GD from last week and his ETA back to DU!

9. That wouldn't scare him away....
He's been on tour. Can't wait for him to get back and hear the report.

BTW -- the evening included a gift, limo ride, nice dinner, etc. It as a special birthday for a special lady. He's a romantic... cut the guy some slack.

Did you see him on C-Span with Jim McDermott speaking to the veteran's group? He was most excellent. He's a great spokeman.

22. The Man Publishes
As a person who writes for a living, I celebrate to the nines whenever I complete a project.

Its his money, if he wants to spend $600 on a meal, then God bless him.

Keep up the good work, Will.

23. yes he is
He is on a tour to promote his book. What are you doing this weekend?

Disingenuous to try and bait him with more flames on an issue which SHOULD BE DEAD.
