To be clear, I have no suspicion of your posting PC. Just curious about what I asked.

If Jeremy A had posted it, it would be goldplated sticky.
What the hell does Jeremy have to do with this Patrick?
There went your cred with me.
Although I too wondered why they were called climbers.

OP - can you shed some light on how the public funds are being spent?
I have no interest in casting judgement I just would like some accountability
For all I know its going to hookers and blow, you know?
Last i heard, everyone on Supertopo will get a brand-new lime-green nano puff and a kitten. Just don't wear the Puff to Peru or 'you will be asking for it'. Just one glance at it's recycled, florescent perfection turns Peruvians in flesh-eating Zombies with whips.

climbers were whipped. Whipped.
Howdy Patrick, so says you, and of course the three travelers. I am not necessarily saying they were not, or that they were. But some proof would go a long ways.
And are they real bona fide climbers? I mean, aside from hiking up some peaks. I suppose we may have different definitions of what makes a climber.
And yes, somebody who is new to the forum starting the post doesn't really, in my eyes at least, say a lot.
I suppose you had your reason(s) for starting this thread and I can only hope it was an honorable reason.
And come on dude...
Opinions are like a$$holes... everyone on here has one.
Couldn't you come up with something more original?
EDIT
And why no climbing items in their list. Earlier on the thread somebody said why would villagers need climbing gear. Well, if they were setting out to rob these three, I'd think they would grab as much stuff as they could, climbing gear included. But again, I could be wrong.

OMG, you classless f*#ks - STFU already.
This is private money between the giver and receiver and it's absolutely none of your f*#king business what happens to it.

This whole thread has the makings of a TV sitcom or soap opera. I wonder what character I would be cast as?
Dufus in the corner wearing a cone hat. Okay, I'll take it. What's the pay?

I might have contributed if I had a reasonable idea of what it was used for. I'm sure with your generous donation they could go buy a band-aid and a cracker. If you want to set conditions, that's between you and them. It would make you sound like a classless stingy controlling f*#k, though.

Uhhhh....I'm confused.
Was this a solicitation for monetary help? Because I never saw a post with any kind of contact information, regardless of the thread title. Perhaps I missed it in all the name calling and such.
Was it a post to warn people about traveling in Peru? If that's the case then it seems to have been blown way out of proportion.
When this thread first hit, I didn't see anything in it that was worth 500+ posts of discussion. Seems kinda lame to me, IMO. Would rather see more posts about climbing then yet another thread with people screaming at each other over the internet. Looks like it's yet another ST round-robin bitch-fest with zero chance of any resolution or conclusion. Shame.

maybe she should of listened or knott to her own advice
From the link above ( a feature article before the incident)
TCM: What would you say to someone who was fascinated by your trip through Central and South America and considering such a trip?
Meg: Don’t be scared. The media in the United States fills us with these negative thoughts and ideas about the countries south of the border. Sure, they have their bad areas and thugs, but so does the United States. I have been more scared riding a subway in Los Angeles than I have ever been traveling in a foreign country.
Don’t stay somewhere you don’t feel safe, don’t flash valuables or money around, and don’t do drugs as that means you having interactions with people who sell drugs, Just use your common sense in general and you will be fine. It is my belief and experience that people are primarily good.

You're making a lot of assumptions there man.
Keep the nano puff. I couldn't wear something called a nano puff.
What in the heck did you say to get an individual post pulled? Must've been rich for a new guy. If Jeremy's posts are vile and they don't get pulled, yet one of your first ever posts gets pulled, what does that make it?
How about a thread on your climbing exploits before you jump right into the nasty stuff?

BTW, is the line to trade the lime-green nano puff and a kitten for hookers blow very long yet, cause I think I'm heading right over there before the stampede hits.

To people asking if they are climbers, go to their blog, the answer is there and obvious.
Isn't it that ugly American trait of entitlement as well in demanding to know about how other people are spending money that legally came to them?
Edit: Who on here gave them money out of curiosity? Did you Bruce?

I think many viewed the first post which states:
a solicitation for money since that link is a place one can contribute money. BTW, that link no longer appears to work.
