Brad is kind of like the poster child for the welfare state He comes and bitches and whines about poor Stu condition after he comes back from his very expensive vacation with Andrew's safari company in Zambia. Spends the warm Zambian nights worried about why Tim is not selling everything he owns to take care of Stu while on this $1000 dollar a night vacation. "Blows holes in animals" for another few thousand an animals while worried about poor Stu. When his PH or as likes to say his service provider on his very expensive vacation - Andrew - donates on of his excellent prints and over 50 are sold. Poor Brad is absent - maybe he does not like his service provider assisting Stu. Maybe whining about Stu is his exclusive right. But poor Brad is absent from any fund raising for Stu. Next you hear from him is when he is complaining about people who have raised money for Stu and why they have no say in the money raised. At the same time he is now offering his whole families unconditional free prayers for Stu. When asked what he is doing he says "Saeed, That is none of your or anyone else's business." This is typical welfare state speak - False outrage - Victimization (of Stu) and financial revenge from Tim - When there is financial assistance raised from AR community - total absence from any financial assistance. - Suddenly when there is money given by other members. Poor old Brad is back telling everyone they are stupid incompetent and have tainted themselves in their giving process. - Again false outrage and cheap free unconditional family prayers to go all around. - Play the cycle again and again. Same time incorrect representation of facts, incorrect time lines, selective quotation and king of false outrange and offer of free unconditional family prayers. Only time he has anything to say of individual responsibility is when he says "Saeed, That is none of your or anyone else's business." On what he has done financially to help Stu the subject of his false outrage. Just a pathetic sniveling low life in my opinion. But hey Brad, I will be the first to say I am wrong if you are willing to take up the mantle of raising additional funds for Stu - maybe a new print, a hunt in zambia, free taxidermy services or just collecting money to send to Stu. Maybe a cheap donated hunt in Zambia or Save conservancy will bring my wretched greed soul from the "done and dusted camp" into bidding. Mike | |||

Is that the best reply you have for being called the hunting version of a welfare queen ? Come on Brad even in my opinion a low life sniveling bull sh@t artist like yourself can redeem himself. Why don't you buy a buffalo hunt with Andrew , auction the hunt and donate the proceeds to Stu? Do the same with Save Safaris - we have both hunted with Leon DuPlessis. If you buy a hunt and donate it - I will bid 1.25 list price? What will make you give some money to you beloved outrage - Stu? Come on Brad you are being called out as a hypocritical sniveling low life and all you can do is try and post some funny comments. What will make you bring out the checkbook to help Stu? Mike | |||

I know this is not going to be popular, but I don't know why contributing to Stu's fund is the price of admission for criticizing any number of issues, to include the question of "did Tim do enough?" Frankly, if he had insurance, that is good enough for me - but I also have ZERO problems with Stu suing to get that insurance money. And while Brad is a bit of a bull in the China shop (he beat me up pretty good over a recent brown bear hunt, but his points were valid), his point about even a 100K fund being enough is a valid point in retrospect. Tim sure didn't manage his public image very well through all of this. Just visit other sites if you have any doubts... | |||

Guys, It is fair to say that Stu may get a settlement from Tim's insurance company and most likely the settlement(if any) won't cost Tim anything except increased premiums in the future. If this keeps Stu's family afloat then that is a good thing(I would bet Tim would agree). And all the donations and good deeds aside, now that Stu has stated that he is not using the donations to fund the lawsuit I believe the men who claimed they heard from "Stu's mouth" that was using donations to fund the lawsuit need to step-up and explain themselves. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Finally, a statement of substance, rather than the misinformed drivel from these lightweights. Anyone else want to discuss something that matters? | |||

Saeed, A good number of people who have actually never hunted with Mark Sullivan, consider themselves qualified to comment on him. and you are all accepting of such. Now you are saying people who have never donated to Stu Taylor should not comment on the subject? Does one have to have donated to Stu Taylor to qualify for such? If so, then maybe people should have to first hunt with Mark Sullivan, before being qualified to comment on him. The same people that donated to Stu Taylor are the same ones that later threw him under the bus based on mere speculation and rumor. Maybe those who donated felt they have payed for the supreme right and priviledge to foolishly do so, despite apparently,being ignorant of the facts. | |||

Stu says, in his post, he is not using any of the money for the legal action. That is good enough for me. He says he is using some it to help some of his workers. I applaud him for that. And I will say this again; It is none of our business what Stu does with HIS money. And it is his money once it was turned over to him | |||
