RyanH Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Guys I need to come clean. I can't live like this. And you guys will hate me for it or respect me for it. Folks I made up this terrible lie due to some factors after I got there in Gillette. Steve Beilgard and his family are such great people and I just cant thank them for the things they did and would have done for me. I basically got scared and changed my mind at the last minute. And when I say last minute I was actually fixin to get in the truck and leave for the field. There are other reasons that I left but I will leave them un-mentioned, do to others sake. I would like to apoligize to everyone out there for this horrible lie. For everyone that took my side and defendded me, im sorry to let you down. I really feel like a DUMB A**. Please forgive me and ALL NASTY PM'S are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2008 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Apology accepted. Like Steve said I'm sure you had your reasons for your decisions made.

Shaun_300 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Apology accepted bud, stuff happens and we can all accept that. Now we just have to put that all behind us, forget it happened and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechsWife Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Ryan I appreciate you coming clean. I'm just sorry it took you so long to do so...better yet I'm upset you felt a lie was your only option. Steve and Brian (and many others) supported you during the move, during the return and offered you support all along. I'm sure they would have helped you with an alternative to lieing and turning the forums into a tennis match with people defending you.

Newarcher Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Dude! Moving is a hard thing, especially when you are young and are moving away from family for the first time. On one hand, you had obligations to the employer and didn't want to let them down. On the other hand, your gut wouldn't let you live with going. You know what, it is completely understandable. I have done similar things. I can certainly understand Ryan's deal. I can't say I would have made up THAT story but I can see being terrified of this big step and realizing once it is done that it was a mistake. Sometimes you get yourself so far into a situation that you can't clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel and react. It takes many misteps like this to become a man. Coming here and admitting this goes a long way towards making him an even bigger man. Water off a ducks butt as far as I am concerned ..... stick around and let's all go back to being friends on the forums and adversaries in the woods.

rifleman25 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Ryan you not only let me down, but you let Steve D, Steve B, Jason, Luke, and many others here down. I was counting on you to film for me. You really weren't fooling anyone though. believe me a few of us investigated this and you were cought right away. To those that were defending him and slandering me and a few others in the flowers thread and the thread where Ryan didn't know what to do I hope you are eating your words. I wouldn't have made any such posts with out some real suspicions and some evidence to back it up. Ryan why didn't you just man up from the start and tell us why you came home instead of fabricating a lie? I feel so cheap and used right now. A mans word is about all he has in this world and you will have to work extra hard to earn my trust back. After i mentioned to a few you were helping me film out there they said I'd regret it. You knew how I was stressing out over that and you just left me hanging. Thats not too cool. I guess I will accept your appology but you are going to have to try like he!! to earn everyones trust back after you betrayed us all like that. I wish I knew what to say to the folks that were coming down on me and a select few others for saying what we did. I guess you will just have to live with yourselfs.

Newarcher Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Well, rifleman keep in mind that many of us didn't know any of what you and others knew. So all we knew is that something had happened to his parents and that some people were being hard on him. You can't fault us for that! If others more in the know were beating on you, that is for them to fix. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dust Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Well I don't know anyone here and im new, but I feel this needs said. It seems like some spent more time trying to disprove this guy then help him. Sometimes we do things we regret we did and sometimes they come back to bite us. Everyone is going to move on with their lives and one day learn to trust each other again. It's not about earning trust its more about forgiving now. Let's get back to the real issues at hand ....

unioncountyslayer Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Those without sin cast the first stone. Come on guys, he made a mistake, owned up to it, let's move on. I know I've messed up more than I would like, but I'm thankful for Christ's love and forgivness. Let's try and show Ryan that same kind of love. -union Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Well, I can accept the apology but other than that............I don't really know what else to say. Oh...you might want to re-phrase your comment "it takes a GIRL to lie". Sounds rather sexist. This "girl" wouldn't have created such a lie involving her parents. Hope you learned something from all this. This forum has a lot of really good-hearted people in it that would do just about anything for anyone. You don't have to pretend with us.

popgun Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! RyanH, I too accept your apology, but I would not be truthful if I did not add that I am also deeply disappointed. I spent the better part of an hour this evening composing a post to defend your actions in returning home to your family. Just as I was about to post, I noticed your “Apology” thread. Although I have never met you, I felt that I knew you, and I’m sorry that my impression was wrong. I don’t know how much of what you have related to us has been true over the past few days and how much was made up for whatever the reasons may have been. It isn’t any of my business. I’m sure that what you have told us has haunted you since the lie began, but you must realize that even in forgiveness it leaves me to suspect the validity and truth in the other post and replies you have made here on the forums. I think that, at least now you realize how much more important a man’s reputation really is, and how much it is worth. I hope you can pull yourself together and be an active and worthwhile contributor to the forums again, but that decision is entirely up to you. ….popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhardwoods Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! WOW.....Some may not like what i have to say but oh well You really have some growing up to do everybody here has been very nice and say they accept your apology and that’s all fine and dandy it's the right thing to do, I don’t post much but I read lots here and this forum has a bunch of people with huge hearts I've never seen people come together to help others out that they dont even know like they do on this site and for you to make up such a HORRIBLE BOLD FACE LIE is beyond my imagination it really is one of the lowest things i've ever seen.

superguide Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! Apology accepted but this is the most surreal thing I've ever seen on Realtree I've got to say that.

OJR Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Apology! I always have believed that your word was your honor! If you don't live up to that, what do you have? Not much! To apologize is one thing but to have started this whole thing is beyond comprehension! I would say to you Ryan, you need to lay low and read what is being said here, not what you might think is being said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
