Since delilah self-disclosed, I guess I can feel free to comment that, in this rather contentious group of people that made up Scamdy, left and right, delilah was the "peace-maker" between the two sides (we had a lot of arguments).

delilah is one Hell of a diplomat, a gracious lady of class and elegance with a special talent for unembittering people.  Water and oil usually don't mix, but damn, delilah made them mix, all to our profit.

And of course franksolich remains very fond of, and grateful to, those from democraticunderground who helped, but alas who cannot be named.....




Ah thanks frank! That's why you're my one and only internet crush...you're just so suave!!!  :blowkiss:

From Diesel Driver's provided link, a nice summation (comment from a DUer).

Quote
Who knows. This has been bouncing around like a ping pong ball. First it was $25k, then $50k, then the checks got lost, then Andy posts a thread about writing a 'hot check,' then he deletes his own thread, Skinner has not posted any clarifications, I don't even know what the surgery date is anymore, and now the whole diagnosis has changed.

Oh my.

All in all, I'm glad it's over...though it ended badly for some. I know DUmmies are self-delusional but it's still infuriating to see fellow human beings being so ****ing, glaringly, deliberately stupid.

I loved watching the DUmp get fleeced.

It's ironic that the round red homo is a DUmp icon, allegedly of the posthumous variety.

Between the Andyscam and the Bevscam, he was involved in the two of the three biggest humiliations in DUmp history, the other of course being Fitzmas.

Yes....yes....yes.

I always swore that when I get around to winning the Powerball lottery, I was going to hire all these creative people to make a Broadway musical comedy, possibly a Hollywood movie, out of Scamdy.

Freeper the idea man, P-J Comix the script, Charles the lyrics, and you, sir, the music.

The whole thing demands expression.

One thing I regret, madam, is that the fallout from Scamdy prevented P-J Comix from winning some blog award, because primitives, and primitive-like beings, yelled and screamed about him having been associated with Scamdy, and how he "killed" the late red round one.

Which of course was untrue; he had nothing to do with it.

I am not surprised by that happening to the late Crockspot. The whole Scamdy was a massive scandal, probably the largest scandal I have seen on the Internet. I have yet to see a scandal on the scale of Scamdy or larger.

That was quite illuminating.  Thanks for posting that.

Notice, sir, that had 4,575 comments on it.

P-J Comix was racking up some, uh, rather substantial numbers during the Scamdal.

You'll find out in about a week, madam.

It was another embarrassment of massive proportions for Skins's island.

It took place in May 2006, and is a little more understandable to newcomers than the Scamdal.

I apologize for not having any summary or synopsis of the Scamdal, but it was s-o-o-o-o-o complicated that really, one had to be there to see it, to believe it.  To date, no one yet has understood it.

This sixth anniversary of the Scamdal is sort of like a high-school reunion, where the spouses of classmates have to sit back, unilluminated, while their other halves discuss high-school days.

But Fitzmas was different in that respect.

Yes, indeed, they conveniently forget the facts.   :cheersmate:

The primitives forgot it all.

One recalls that every July 7, for four years, the primitives sat around a campfire remembering the late red round one, and talked about how they were never going to forget him, the greatest man that ever lived, for the rest of their lives; that he was immortalized in their memories, enshrined in their thoughts.

But on the fifth anniversary of the late red round one's death from infection, July 7, 2010, there was not a word of the immortal late red round one on Skins's island, and so decent and civilized people, proponents of open and honest fund-raising, had to remember the late red round one over here instead.

http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,46254.0/

The remembrance thread includes things now long forgotten, such as this:

Quote
.....the whine of the psychotic primitive, the "psychic" primitive "JoanAlpern," that the red round one had given her a rubber check for $300--that one in particular always struck me, because if the psychotic primitive was in fact a psychic, she could've foretold the check was no good in the beginning.....but of course most people wouldn't need any psychic talents to discern it was no good.

Good times, good times.

But as I "unsticky" this, I sit back and wonder; what was the reason for the scam?

But it's useless wonder, as we'll never know, and the only person in the whole world who does know, the data's now fossilized in her petrified brain-cells.

I don't suppose there's anybody around who can claim to be as intimately-acquainted with Doug's stupid ex-wife as franksolich via her comments on Skins's island since November 2004 (and from no other place, either on the internet or in real life; only Skins's island).  Others have caught sporadic glances of her here-and-there, but franksolich has been eyewitness, first hand and up close, to her daily erosion into premature arteriosclerosis, due probably to a combination of a vigorous Hate (Hate is after all hard on the brain-cells) and an overuse of mood-altering pharmaceutical drugs.

Doug's stupid ex-wife turns 56 years old this year, but already she's reminiscent of the Duchess of Windsor the last ten years of her own life, unable to form a coherent thought, unable to recognize people and things, unable to express herself excepting in short, bitter, nasty, angry phrases, unable to keep a line of thought more than a couple of seconds, unable to remember.....

Sometime near the beginning of the Scamdal, I had predicted on P-J Comix's DUmmie FUnnies that this whole thing was likely to wind down as a medieval morality play, and indeed it has.

As an active member at CU at the time, I missed the whole event as it unfolded because, as had become my practice, I took off around 3 or 4 months from posting each year towards the summer.  When I came back I had some reading to do to catch up, but what struck me was how the admins and some of the prominent primitives went back and forth on whether this was a scam or not.  Just the way the whole thing unfolded left a lot of unanswered questions.  Then after he died anyway, the primitives had to rewrite the whole event to make it where they were always 100% confident he was really ill and that a bunch of conservatives at the site that shall not be named somehow conspired to kill him by delaying his surgery.  At least AS provided a measure of entertainment at the end of his existance, so his life wasn't a total failure.

All in all, it was like most events that unfold on Skin's island where reality has to be altered to fit the predetermined narritive.

Money. The Andyscam came in the immediate aftermath of Bev Harris's fabulously successful fleecing of not just the DUmp, but the entire moonbat universe. The round red homo, like all the "election reform" people, was a grifter. Poor, stupid Beth Ferrari was starting on the road to destitution, paved with Doug's drugs. The DUmp was still enraged by Dubya's Rove-engineered victory in Ohio. Finally, the DUmbasses had just begun to feel the humiliation of the Bev swindle, and she and the homo were at war with one another. Andyscam caught the DUmbasses on the rebound. The stars were aligned.

At least, that's how I remember it.
