Rob
I am guessing you are referring to me as the events you describe reflect some things that happened in my life.
Lets just address your statements one at a time;
You must of had fun you and your side kick keeping these puppets wound up. You have puppets. O.W.K.D..... and a few more I know them and the silent ones. Now they are going to get crazy people to get guns to attack me from their boat. It’s getting stupid and crazy. Scuba board is tame in comparison to those other wacko-jobs on Ontario Diving. Topo bad alot of nice people and divers on that form and they like to dive and have fun.
First of all I do not bad mouth you, in private or public. If you think I do, I hope you have proof. I have not posted any thing damaging about you on any board. I feel you have a misguided view of my actions. I do however need to clarify a few things.
You say I’ve been getting people upset with you, turning them against you!? You really need to check your facts. You say I have puppets on Ontario Diving and am some mastermind of a fan club of yours. I have no clue what you are talking about. Ontario Diving and I have had a tough time at best. I have had temporary bans from there for breaking the rules for which I apologized and made my amends. I hope that after this, you can do the same.
I HAVE NEVER ATTACKED YOU. I AM ON HERE JUST LIKE YOU USING MY NAME NOT AN ALIAS. I AM ASKING YOU TO BACK OFF LEAVE ME ALONE, AS I HAVE YOU. NOTHING ELSE. If you have a problem let me know, my number hasn’t changed in over 10 years my email is open and in the public domain.
B... when your dive boat sank last year off Toronto why did you call me for help?
I called you because I once worked for you (you may remember the Toronto fire boat prop fouling). That was the only time I can remember working for you. You have a business that would normally service someone that was in my situation.
I was not looking for a handout I had a job. My Insurance Company would have been paying and I thought of you.
SORRY I WONT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
I did work for your brother and father.
I would like to point out here that your father is one of the nicest most impressive people I have ever met in my life. It was MY pleasure to have met him and am truly thankful for all the knowledge he passed on to me. I don’t think I can extend that much farther.
Your brother and I have had our disagreements and I have spoke to him civilly at industry shows from time to time. I have not seen any signs he hates me. He has always represented him self as a gentleman in public. I wish him and his new family all the success in life.
It all started when I caught two of them stealing camera’s from our store all called them on it.
You said I stole cameras from your store?? I can only assume you are referring to the 2 Samsung cameras I bought on MY account which has your brothers shop listed as an authorized buyer. I was working there at the time the account was set up. He did not want to sell cameras or stock an item like that, as the technology changes too fast. We could get stuck with stock that wouldn’t sell. Anyway, those cameras were bought for 2 employees of the shop. I made no profit and just acted as a point of contact for them.
Check your stories. Every one of the cameras sold while I was employed by your brother went through my personal VISA and were sold to the shop by me. Secondly on that matter, If I "STOLE", why wasn’t I contacted by a law enforcement agency? Why do I have to hear about this through other people on a board I didn't even belong to until yesterday??
For an "Up front, honest guy" I’m confused Rob.
Its easy I have a 26 man inflatable dive rib, a 20 foot commercial rescue rib, a commercial 18 ft. A bunch of small rescue dinghy’s
You say you own several boats ect ect.. I did not realize you acquired your dad and brother's boats. I guess congrats are in order. I am glad to hear your doing so well. As you say, you are an honest guy just out for fun diving. So I guess I’m curious, did your brother sell you his 26-28 foot rib? Anyway Sorry I’m sliding off topic.
Sorry Rob I can no longer listen to you go on and on about things I didn’t do. I can only apologize for not addressing this sooner but it has gone on WAY TOO LONG!!
Face up to what you are and admit you are not being 100% open and honest and up front with all the facts. You described a “bump” with an other boat on your mooring. A diver down flag and or an Alpha flag require you give space. EVERY CAPTAIN knows this. So how is it you couldn’t control the Orkney (you practically grew up on that boat) to avoid the other boat? If I came in with my boat and bumped your tug while you had divers in the water, you would probably call the cops.You would be in the right to do so. No one has called the cops so maybe something is not being said. But you down play and omit little details to suit your self.
I have had enough of sitting on the sidelines and being painted with a brush of what ever colour YOU seem to think suits me.
This is me, BRYAN THOMAS, not hiding, not twisting anything, just defending myself against the incoherent ramblings of someone who THINKS he knows more than he does. ROB! leave me alone!! I do not want to get involved in an argument with you. Or anything else for that matter.
If someone else has done you wrong I hope you can get them to apologize or stop or both.
Thank you
SB thank you for letting us clear the air.
PS what is O.W.K.D??
