nyFLYguy05 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Everyone, I had the chance to speak to Scott, who is the owner of the Bears Den located in Mass, NY. A while back I posted some negative comments at the Bears Den Customer Service and the comapny. I want to start off by saying I sincerly apologize to the Bears Den Company and all the employees who work for the Bears Den. This was a BIG mis - understanding between myself and the company. I take back all the negative statements that I originally stated. Scott and myself spoke for a while and ended on a very good note. Scott is a class act and has a great business mind. At the Somerset show in NJ, the Bears Den staff was very helpful for all my questions and I purchased many products from the Bears Den Booth. I jumped the gun way to quickly and it was a BIG mis understanding. I am comming on this forum to post about this because I am a man of my word and want the truth to be told. I am not posting this to make anyone happy or to get anything for free - I am posting this apology because it is the CORRECT thing to do, while being 100% the TOTAL TRUTH. Scott was very understanding on the phone and a complete gentleman to me. I should of never let my emotions get to me, I should of gave the owner (Scott) a telephone call first. I feel terrible for posting the negative comments and wish I could take them back. However I can not. The truth of the matter is...I was totally wrong, I let my emotions get to me and feel extemely awful for what I have done. Again to Scott and the Bears Den employees - I am truly sorry for the comments I posted. I am glad we could work things out and I thank you for your complete understanding of the situation. Thank you all for reading -Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lykos33 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Way to "man up " Joe, it's not easy to do. As an example of why what you did is important; when I read your original post about the Bear's Den... I decided they would not get any of my business...strictly because a fellow member of my home away from home (FTF) got screwed by them. Now that I know it was just a misunderstanding between ya'll , they may get an order or two. Now I know my measily lil order won't mean a whole lot to them ,but, 100's of members of this forum could affect their livelihood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you everyone for the support. Scott is a true man himself. Very understanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Joe, glad to hear it's all turned out well! Real men know when they've made mistakes & admit it! My father used to say that the person who doesn't make mistakes, does absolutely nothing! Classy post! Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
