Good luck with that Drum......you'll be waiting a while longer. If he does reply, it'll be one of those....."Hatch wouldn't even know my buddy, or he couldn't possibly remember us from that long ago" kind of answer. I bet you don't get one, period.
I talked with Ryan about ole Flinch and the story he made up and posted here on 24HR and it was one of those conversations that ended with both of us feeling worse when it was over than we felt when we started. It was the realization that there WILL ALWAYS be guys out there like Kalen Beardall aka Flinch here on 24HR Campfire.
There is so much testosterone and/or machoism in this sport that there is such a damn want or need that some have to be experts and will do or say anything to get people to believe what they are saying. I cannot imagine the insecurity issues that these types of people have but I almost feel sorry for them. If Kalen Beardall aka Flinch had not made a conscience decision to try and turn somebody away from Ryans business I would have just let it go but the fact of the matter is his actions and lies hurt more people that just Ryan, they effect his wife and child and their employees and their families as well.
Whats even worse was the fact that instead of taking the opportunity to be a man and own his mistake and apologize for it, Kalen Beardall aka Flinch, decided to go back and edit his posts to have some sort of deniability in the thing. He said he was going to "give me rope to hang myself", that he was going to post facts but that I "wasnt worth the effort". Funny that it wasnt worth the effort to post facts but he damn sure put forth the effort to go back and edit his slanderous lies.
