RangerClay Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've received a couple PM's from people wondering what happened after they cancelled their presentation at the local Baptist church. If anyone else is interested please shoot me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 They never responded to several emails I sent them letting them know they were the subject of discussion here. If they did respond to you, feel free to post their response. I am a bit perturbed they ignored my request. I did not bash them or anything, I just asked them to publicly put up their side of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'd keep my mouth shut about it. Emails have been recieved from Team Fitzgerald seeking the names of those involved spreading rumors and dragging their name through the dirt. Sounds like a dig to file a slander and defamation suit possibly. Be careful with this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 A person who sent an email requesting information about the "incident". I'm not putting their name in the open, but it was brought to my attention via PM. If they wish to share the email, I'm sure they will see this thread and do so. If not, then you'll just have to trust me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 There was some decent bashing on their names in the other thread by people here. If there is a response, the record should be set straight and the answers should be posted in the open, just like the original thoughts and opinions that were so easily made by people were posted in the open. The internet is a public place and you still have the right to freedom of speech. You can voice your opinion without fear of breaking a law. You can not threaten someone but saying you dont like someone and are now worried about getting in trouble with the law is rediculous. I kept my mouth shut in the original thread and did not post once. People here think I stir the pot to much and dont like my opinions. I kept quiet since people can not voice their opinions without getting hammered, or the fear of getting hammered. Well, if there is an answer it needs to be posted without fear of getting in 'trouble'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Dude don't fall victim to that mentality too. Opinions are like farts. Some stink and some don't. You are (in a way) letting them rule you by not posting. Dont worry about some thin skin not liking what you say. Speak up boy...I say speak up boy..... Sorry, that had nothing to do with the original topic of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClaw Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Frankly, this whole issue is between the Fitzgerald's and the church. They would certainly owe an explanation to them but not to us. We weren't the ones that entered into a contract with them. Yes, we are very interested in what happened but two questions need to be asked, are we interested because something like this harms the image of our industry and sport or we just waiting for a chance to bash someone and then say, I knew they weren't any good! Listening to rumors or something else that was posted somwhere else only leads to speculation, rumors and slander. Seems like sometimes we are sitting on a ledge like a vulture just waiting for one of our own to stumble. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like sometimes we are sitting on a ledge like a vulture just waiting for one of our own to stumble. Just my opinion. I would agree with you 100% IF it was not brought up in public to begin with and their name had not been bashed on and insane assumptions made without knowing any details what so ever. The fact that it was brought up and did happen is the only reason the information needs to be posted up. I know if I was publicly called out and bashed I would want the issued and assumptions to be solved in public. I believe people have a real hard time turning things around and placing themself in the shoes of the people they call out. I know if I call someone out, I will place myself in their shoes and if I feel my opinion is still legit and/or the person is in need of calling out I will still continue to do it. But the one thing I have never done is called some one out on hear say that I have no idea what was involved with the situation to begin with, or jumped on the bandwagon that seems to be making it's rounds.

wtnhunt Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Frankly, this whole issue is between the Fitzgerald's and the church. They would certainly owe an explanation to them but not to us. We weren't the ones that entered into a contract with them. Agree. Original poster of the thread that started where the questions were raised I do not think had intentions of bashing anyone and for those that came across as bashing, I personally did not see where there was anything to warrant a lawsuit for slander nor saw anything more than opinionated comments that in reality were probably not anything out of the ordinary for forums such as this. To be honest with respect to this topic and the fact that the original poster asked his thread be deleted it may be in everyone's best interest and his as well that this also be deleted. There is more to the story than what most probably know here. Agree that making assumptions one way or another is not in anyone's best interest and this thread to be honest really serves no purpose.

BearClaw Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes, if I was called out in public, I would want a chance to tell my version of the story and probably would.( especially If the facts weren't correct and often are not) Others might not care and simply say it's none of anyone's business. Some people are like that, not saying the Fitzgerald's are. I'm curious to see what happened but I won't lose any sleep if I don't find out.
