and why did I read it as though recited by rote? : )
These are both interesting questions that you esteemed gents have beaten me to asking.
@JC has some nascent religious guilt about going the flog, methinks. To the point of asking the Vatican!

@NTA as opposed to the missus's chances of getting to, ah, heaven? 😎😂😂
If it ever happens, she's well in the mood, so no issues there.
The cardboard cutout of Jason Momoa in the corner of the room also might have something to do with it

That’s Drew’s opinion, and people can agree or disagree with it - doesn’t make them right or wrong. I just happen to agree with him.
You think he’s bullshitting, I don’t. I’m
Ok to disagree.You agree with Drew that IF thinks he deserves money more than those other causes?
Drew’s opinion, I agree with it.

@Rembrandt more free advertising for his page.

$760,000 now. Large donations are still coming in, and it's a constant stream.
I'm tying this to that poll from the other day where 85% of people though there were restrictions on their freedom of speech.
Clearly a lot of people in Australia feel something similar. That said, be interesting to see what the country breakdown is for these donations.

I’m curious about this myself. I wonder when the Bible Belt in the U.S. gets a whiff of it.
And recalling, Raelene Castle herself in her presser a month ago said this case will have an effect that goes beyond rugby in Australia to all sports in Australia, and globally as well. She may well be right.

There are apparently a few duplicates as well e.g. same person donating $500 twice - apparently to boost numbers of donors but I fail to see how that matters?
Anyway its going to be another culture-wars style of thing where the outrage on both sides climbs because somebody didn't like something the other side said or was perceived to have said.

Reports on social media that the Folau GoFundMe is no more?

..well the outrage brigade really have done it now.
If the bible belt hadn't heard about it yet they most certainly will in the next 24 hours.
He will get his $3million unless the gaystapo can shut down every funding platform in existence. I'm sure they will try, I wonder if payment processors and credit card companies might get in on the action too to stop such horrific 'wrong think'?

Free speech is wonderful.
It certainly is.
I'm sure plenty will be celebrating. Yay we won! The bigot has lost. Finally an end to homophobia! Great job team! Now who is going to be the next target?!
I'm sure all those donating will now see the error of their ways, will recognise the pride movement as one of peace, love and tolerance (or else!). No chance at all that this will harden their resolve, turn a dislike of the excesses of the pride movement to abject hatred and now view themselves as a victim class.
This doesn't end well.

Christians have been viewing themselves as victims for millennia - well after it stopped being true. Don't ever expect that to change.

I'd like to know the make up of the "coalition" of donors. Would be a very interesting mix of fanatical God botherers and atheists who disagree with everything that comes out of OccupiedTerritories' mouth.

Wow... or maybe not... not sure if I'm that surprised the campaign got pulled. While I found it personally distasteful as long as he played by their rules I thought they'd let it run. Will be interested to hear why they've shut it down. Maybe he'll be setting up another collection to take them to court also!

Just saw the update. That's crazy. He's going to smash 3 mill now. Do these people ever learn?
