hutchies Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Me too...............Been there, done that...............probably got the marks on the mod room wall to prove it..........hhahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I was not a mod when RyanH was banned either...and now this post is getting off topic.... Shorty started this post to apologize...not for others to rag on him and other people about whether it's a right or wrong thing to do. If you have issues, PM the person or a mod....don't bring it out on here.... RyanH has nothing to do with Shorty...similar issue, but this is not then...this is now...leave the past alone. Well put Ruth. That's why you're a mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'll agree with Chris that age does play a role. I was not a moderator either when Ryan was banned but I will tell you that Ryan was given several opportunities to come clean and admit that it was a lie and he wouldn't. He kept on with the lie while fellow members were raising money to send flowers to the hospital for his mother. I agree a lie is a lie but Ryan's was a very fabricated lie. A lie that sent several members to their knees praying for the life of his mother. IMO that is a big difference. Shorty--you have my forgiveness and I hope the lesson is learned. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Buckee pretty much nailed it. Way to step up to the plate Shorty. tell it like it is; glad ya came clean.. Good thing you fessed up, or I'd have to pin your butt down when and if we go turkey hunting!!:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativetexan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Before we start blaming people for double standards, I would suggest we all take a look in the mirror and see if we have "perfection" tattooed on our foreheads. I'm not perfect by any means, and I doubt everybody here is perfect in every way. He told a lie, he came clean, he will live with it and deal with whatever admin action may come. The only way he will be able to forgive himself is to not to do it again. If we didn't have these imperfections about ourselves, we would have no reason to have integrity, honesty, character, etc. We would all just be perfect. Think about it before you tell everyone how many fish you caught, and how big they were. After all, it is a lie. Check out the politics room..It's chock full of lies by those who choose not to accept facts. Learn what you can from it, then let it go. double standard   –noun 1. any code or set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, esp. an unwritten code of sexual behavior permitting men more freedom than women. Compare single standard (def. 1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Ok cool so as long as I got this right ... we can tell lies on the forums and to other forum members ... just do long as it doesn't directly hurt anyone ... and if we say were sorry and really mean it ... so basically a lie really isnt a lie unless you say your sorry and dont mean it ... Cause if thats the way it is ... that a buncha ... well as it was worded to me you can draw your own conclusion. seriously Ryans lies were worse then any other lie in here ????... As far as his being more decieptful because of the circumstances what a buncha bull deciept is a lie period ... just when you lie to tell a lie it makes it worse????. Anyway you'all want to portray it is fine with me ... just so I know where everyone stands ... except I dont because its still a huge double standard ... And as far as him coming forward on his own ... um no someone called him out other wise I guarantee you he wouldnt have come in and spewed that he lied in the lounge ... you are very very wrong on that point ... the FACT and read that word for what it is ... is that Shorty lied ... Ryan lied one got banned imediately and the other has 4 pages of a buncha ppl defending his lie cause it didnt "directly" hurt anyone. So where do we draw the line? Does anyhone here know when he or anyone else is gonna lie again? seems like when you catcha person doing something wrong it hardly ever works to just "let them go" These forums have never been about someone like that but they sure will be now guaranteed ... A lie is a lie and deciept is deciept not a lot of deifference if you ask me ... someone might just look up the difference and explain what makes one worse then the other? And for the record if nothing happens here its a HUGE double standard period. Steve Edited January 14, 2009 by BowtechTurkeyHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 OK, we're off topic, and I feel this thread has run its course. He apologized, end of that story. Feel free to post about double standards in another thread if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
