Not even the former employees do that, only the fans...

Sorry to see this thread meant to be about Ian Stewart abruptly turn into
something quite different.
Despite the haters' comments about me in the past few hours, Stu was my friend and I was his friend and admirer. If you don't believe it or don't like it, just piss off.

Not as far as we know, Mr P. They are just past employees who have publicised their connections to the Stones.
But the past and present insiders who do post - James Phelge, D and G and some others - are open about their connections, verifiable, modest, and do not insult others or tell them that they are not qualified to express an opinion.

Hey! "Mr. P", I like that!
You're right. But I haven't seen James, Dreamer, D&G or Cocaine Eyes post pictures or audio clips to prove their connections either - and imo rightfully so.
I know there are many more connected posters here, and some of them might have posted something, too, but not in the context we're talking about here.
Rudeness is unnecessary, insider or not - I'll give you that.

Who said anything about posting the tapes don't start making things up to prove your point.

They sometimes do... And Bliss is just right about a lot of things.
I don't like to say much because I like my privacy and like to stay an independent outsider but considering JH I know A LOT and I did say a few things on IORR before about this so called journalist who wrote that piece but really...that JH book and all that terribly interesting talk about the tapes?? Yep. There's just the talking about it that exists...and the huge self fulfilling pretention that it exists became a religion. Same goes for loads of other 'facts' that are distributed on iorr on lots of subjects as Bliss said earlier.
Stu: I think people make more of a lot of things about him than he would have liked but that's just based on all I've read about him.
Also: when you need the proceeds of a 950 copies book to give to his children for their education you can't say the RS did their moral duty to a very loyal band member.

"STU" CAME OUT IN 2003.
GILES WAS 32 YEARS OLD WHEN "STU" CAME OUT.
THE IDEA OF THE BOOK PAYING FOR HIS EDUCATION IS NONSENSE.
WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO IDEA IF THE BAND TOOK CARE OF THE FAMILY.
AND IT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

<<stu wasn't a crybaby and his attitude was>>
You make it sound like Stu was perfectly happy to be shoved to the sidelines, as if it were what he should have been expecting from life.
Read Phelge's Stones. He was in the room with the Stones and Stu the day he was handed the news that he was out of the band. He was stoic about it for the most part, and the rest of the band felt badly and did their best to console him, and despite that he may have gradually adjusted to his relegated role in subsequent years, at the time he was dropped from the official line-up he was clearly upset:
"Keith turned to me over his left shoulder as I came in and said, 'Stu's agreed to stay on as road manager for us.'
"I smiled and said, 'Great,' but felt embarrassed. I thought Keith should have put it in another way--it did not seem fair to let Stu know that I had known about the situation before he had. Keith did it more as a natural reaction of relief, but Stu gave me a look that seemed to say, 'So you were in on it too!' It was not a good time for anyone.
"Obviously they had told Stu who had reluctantly accepted the job as road manager in order to stay with the band. He stood with his hands in his pockets and looked crestfallen at the turn of events. Everyone was trying hard to act cheerful--the boys knew how upset Stu would be feeling. Brian then began to promise things.
"'You'll still be able to play with us on occasions,' said Brian. 'We'll work something out, won't we, boys?' The others made conciliatory noises in agreement.
"Then Brian said to Stu, 'Don't worry about it; we'll see you all right; we'll make sure you get a sixth of everything.' With that he put his arm around Stu's shoulder and hugged him....
"'I'm sorry to hear about this Stu.' I offered genuinely.
"He took his hands from his pockets and turned his palms limply outward as a token of hopelessness.
"'I expected something like this might happen.' He sounded upset and said it so sadly. I looked at him and thought he was going to cry--if I had not been in the room, I felt sure he would have done so."
--James Phelge, Phelge's Stones, pp. 116-117 (paperback edition)

That's my point. They don't need to - their connection has been verified. (Of course, they could all be imposters, but ....)
And I forgot to add - they don't taunt the forum with "I've got a secret and I'm not gonna tell ya!"

Lots of them. Sold as 'the cigarettes smoked by JH'...
One of those...
But don't forget he was a very good friend and the book "was never about making money; I gave it all away, quite a bit of it to various old friends of Jimi who were in need."
Gave it all away OK that's verifiable.. Look I am going to cut the crap and flat out say I don't believe anything stone rules says.full of crap I say.just my opinion.
