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?

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.

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.

absolutely nothing other than it is the only other thread i've psoted on and i had my post yanked. people love him and take whatever vile things he writes as law, but a new guy posts up a story copied from multiple sources on the web and somehow my motivations are under suspicion.
sorry i lost cred with you, I'll give you my nano puff.

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.

ok so I assume then that you have no idea either. Thats fine.
So here's the deal like it or lump it. No one has had the guts or honor to state what funds that are directly solicted from the public are being used for. If it is for Hookers and blow then state it and those who would like to contribute to that are free to do so. Then at least there is a public record of the intent and if they fail to use it for the intended purpose they would have to explain why instead it went to oh I don't know, Disneyland and Mitt Romneys next campaign or something.
I might have contributed if I had a reasonable idea of what it was used for.
I would only add that without accountability the only reasonable default position is to assume a Nigerian swindle or Hookers and Blow..... or 5000$ lap tops.

Why don't you just spend your own money on what you seem so fixated on, Bruce? Snorting a toot while getting your joint worked on by a gal named Trixie might just sort you out ;). Certainly more productive than anything posted here.

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?

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.
