I'd like to set the record straight

[Jimmyz123]

I understand why William feels that need, there are a few individuals on this site that feel the need to attack others and they have no care as to what pain it may cause others.

For example someone used me as the butt of their joke on the radio while fishing the Rady tournament yesterday. I chose not to say anything because I didn't want to get into it on the radio. I have a feeling I know who it was, but that person didn't have the sack to come up to me yesterday, but they had no problem insulting me over the radio.

People grow the hell up, if you have an issue with someone, take it up with them personally don't attack them behind a computer or a radio.

Sorry for the thread jack, but it kind of goes together.

I am not too proud to admit I had a hand in the gossip train, which me and William worked out personally. I will publicly apologize for any misconceptions I had, it was not my place to pass judgment without the facts.

This community it just big enough that rumors get around like high school and just small enough that everyone pretty much knows each other, for the most part. From the outside looking in, without any knowledge of what really happened it was all too easy to make a quick assumption and the lesson here has been learned.

The past is in the past, and I am also volunteering to help you out anyway I can.

I appreciate your kind worlds, but nothing here is meant for the sake of being stand up.

I'm a part of a few little texting group chats among members of BWE and when the sale went down, the rumor mill went into high gear.

Because of the never ending generosity Mako Bob has leant to this community, it can be completely understandable why people would start to snicker about what went on.

I too breathed life into the dirty rumor, just like those before me. What I should have done, as well as everyone else was just pick up the phone and get the facts straight. Actually, we should have all just minded our own damn business. However because of Mako Bobs high profile as the kindest man in the world, people sort of took it personally.

I openly voiced my opinion the last time I saw Bob, about how I thought it was unfair. Bob bit his tongue and protected Williams private life just like any true friend would have. William called me up and set the record straight after he got word I had brought this up. I felt terrible about what I had said because I didn't know the facts. It' a shame Williams privacy is now public knowledge and by having just a slice of responsibility in that makes me feel like a genuine piece of shit.

William deserves nothing less than a whole hearted public apology.

Some good people here, good luck Will. I feel ya dude, I had to live on unemployment (if you call that living) for a while a few years back during the worst part of the recession. Good news is that somehow we make it through even though it doesn't seem likely at the time.

William - sorry to read about this situation.
It still baffles me when I read about adults behaving this way, the gossip junk that is .

Really? Are you serious??? Of course you are - again, it just baffles me when I read about this stuff.

People just need to mind their own business - you shouldn't judge because you don't know what the other is dealing with - and you shouldn't know.

We should just keep to fishing.

Looking at the donations to RADY'S it should be obvious that this is a caring community, we might misunderstand each other, but WE are ALL pulling in the right directions. BWE is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

AMEN

You have to admit though Mako that a few people have no problem bashing others and there's never an apology. There comes a time when the insulting comments go to far. I love the tournaments because I get a chance to meet the guys on here. My feeling is that the more we all get together, the fewer issues this site will have.
