My apologies

[torpid]

Of course my reputation here is now tarnished, but how many of you would have been man enough to admit that you lied had you been in my place? Of course some of you will answer with "Well I wouldn't have done it in the first place..." Please, save your keystrokes.

This is giving off a defensive posturing attitude, which doesn't help to save face.

Challenging the manhood of those who wouldn't lie in the first place and then denying their honesty as a non-factor when compared to your "man's" confession doesn't come off as very contrite.

Man who doesn't lie > man who lies and owns up > man who lies and keeps mum.

Personally, if I was in your self-made shoes, I would be deferential to the community that I misled, and trying to regain their trust.

Your attitude in those comments doesn't help towards doing that.

While I missed the thread you're apologizing for, I did follow this one http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=192584.
Is it made up also?

I never saw that one, but looking over it now, it does seem to have the same air of as the one he is apologizing for....

Well, if I had a former drill sargent shaking his fist in my face (figuratively speaking, of course), I would have admitted to anything.

I was scared as hell to go in his office and apologize to him, espescially since he is a former Drill Sergeant

It's good advice, son. Follow it.

Yes, the story does reek of BS especially since we now know that Nash is a blatant liar. The fact that he even made the attempt to rationalize his behavior here shows that he is not truly repentant, and is trying to get attention. I will never believe another post by him. I would simply suggest ignoring him completely and let him post his ficticious BS, like any other site. But this is THR. A standard must be met because stakes are too high when it comes to convening publicly to discuss our current state of freedom. Not only that, but also a vast amount of knowledge is spread through here and TFL and we don't want facts being muddled up by liars trying to gain attention. Last but not least, as stated above, business is conducted through here that can have legal, real world ramifications. I wish Nash had what it takes to banish himself from here, he is no longer trustworthy.

Nash has apologized. He did it face to face to Jim. He admitted to lying. So now all of his posts are gonna be scrutinized by most if not all. At some point in time, Nash will regain some of our trust and be back in good standing. But that will take some time, and everyone's time is different. To ask him to banish himself over 1 admitted lie, and now possibly a 2nd?? Did anyone ever lie to their parents?? What would have happened to us, if our parents banished us after one lie?? I for one, after the whipping my Dad gave me, made sure I never lied to him again. I told the truth from then on. Still got whipped a few times, but not as severe for telling the truth. Be leary of Nash's posts for a while, and let him earn our trust back. I fell he will in time.

Pulled a Calvert1 on us... At least you came clean...

This doesn't really match nearly the level that Calvert pulled. Calvert's was...umm.. well... nevermind..

Nashmack,
While I dont' really understand why you would post something like that in the first place, even out of sheer stupidity, I do admit it takes great courage to fess up to it.

I'm sure, or hope that you've learned conjuring up false stories really doesn't do you any good. Stick around, and I'm sure you'll eventually become a great asset to this forum. Of course, as long as the false posting stops... which I'm sure it will.

Welcome aboard.

I am very impressed by the fact that Nashmack has come clean and apologized. This is always the right thing to do. None of us are perfect, and good, moral people will always forgive such a person.

One example of someone who did the right thing is Rush Limbaugh. Instead of covering up his drug problem, he was forthcoming. People forgave him.

An example of someone who did the wrong thing is Rep. Patrick Kennedy.

I'd have to agree.
That post of his comes off as "I'm so awesome that I'm admitting to it and apologizing."

This one is closed before anybody says anything stupid that they may regret later. (I only say that because you guys would laugh if you saw what I had written and then deleted)
