Gentleman, a mistake is easy to make,calling a 48" Kudu a 50" Kudu is a mistake. Willingly breaking a contract and not being willing to sort it out with the client until the client takes drastic action is NO MISTAKE!! Further more if Loodt was willing to sort out this issue over the past couple of weeks with Royal then there would have been closure sooner.He did not,he knew about it and did nothing. Choices are made and you stand or fall with them,coming clean on AH now means nothing to many folks on here as Loodt had plenty of opportunity to take care of this issue before it escalated. Being young and inexperienced is no excuse for being dishonest,as you rightly say Loodt may be a great guy and good to deal with,as such he of all people should then know the diffrence between right and wrong as he lacks nothing in education and apparent personality.
Those who "back" Loodt won't change their opinion and those who don't won't change it either,it's called making desicions based on facts and experience and we have all made ours clear via this post.
I say it once again,the folks who back Loodt must understand that this is not a mistake,it was a choice and not only did it reflect poorly on Loodt,but on the whole SA hunting industry and that is my main concern, so if I judge too hard in a personal capacity it is from that global point of view in which Loodt is a drop in a bucket,but every drop creates ripples through the entire bucket.
No one is bigger than the industry and no one has the right to negatively affect the lively hood of others by their actions. Judging Loodt on this basis I would say he got off lightly for some folks here.
I can also say that those who support Loodt would like to see this post end positively and those who don't would like it to reflect their opnion. My question will always be how would this have ended for Royal if he did not bring this onto AH and that is the end I would like the post to reflect because that is what anyone in Loodt's position deserves. As is rightly stated above Loodt has now managed to bring a point of contention to AH which has negatively affected not only Royal and himself the SA hunting industry but also managed to bring a divide in a once tight community,on that basis alone I fail to see just one "mistake" was made.
