Admins, kill this thread please, for obvious reasons.

While the title was in poor taste, why was the link in this thread erased? Tommy's misadventure in Kyrgyzstan is not a secret. Jason's story as co captive is real. If anything it adds to Tommy's strength of character to survive and and protect his partners when threatened by actual bad guys with guns.

My curiosity is maxed out right now.

did this thread have anything to do with jason 'singer' smith's recent reddit AMA regarding the kyrgistan kidnapping?

well.... someone was a jerk

Yes, and the title was in VERY poor taste, and I do apologize. It was meant as a joke but really had no tact and wasn't funny. I did however find the timing and the introduction to his AMA as, well obviously strange, and reading through some of the QA I was surprised that there was some interesting dialogue.

So we only believe in free speech if it is in "good taste"? EricF, I stand by your right to offend. And hey, MP, quit ball-cupping your "heroes". If an OP offends you, don't read it or participate in it.

I had no idea mountainproject was a government entity, and not responsible to its advertises for what *we* say.
