Just recently two individuals of supposedly high standing in the dive community were in contention. When I read the initial post and ensuing responses, two words immediately came to mind: Hypocrisy and contradiction. How difficult can it be to post random comments in a responsible manner without the need to bicker and target the person in question using innuendo and ridicule? This unruly behaviour defeats the purpose of a community forum and inhibits genuine contributors from participating without dissimulation. My suggestion would be to make your point conclusively within three posts without slowing the thread with semantics—before moderators are permitted to censor contributors from posting. I understand it may be frustrating for some when their voice is not heard. I also empathize with some of you sensitive types (GUE) who don’t relish hearing a divers’ perspectives and critique, where opinions should count regardless of their level of expertise and agency affiliation. What matters is that we all look forward to reading and interacting toward a viable solution. Why else would you post in a public forum where you have readers and participants alike? Which leads me to believe the forum is unable to cope with divers from various backgrounds and beliefs. Although, I really enjoy the entertainment value of the ScubaBoard forum, I strongly urge staff to rejuvenate your reasoning before acting decisively.
Never! My argument was PEDANTIC not SEMANTIC!
