Something very wrong and we could help!

If it's really blatent and false, he should have lawyers lining up to represent him on a contingency basis.

If you ever visit a dive news site known by it's very close name to the REAL news network cnn.com, you may have seen the article about a young Instructor that got injured while handling a nurse shark.

While I personally don't condone the handling of sharks in that manner, I am ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED that this man was attacked in the article in the manner he was. He was called a sex offender and worse.

For this young instructor because of a brutal attack on his character, he will be forever linked thru internet sources as having been a sexual predator simply because the editor of the diving "news" website has decided to smear this instructors character to further his own agenda.

What this web news site did was wrong and illegal, the question is does a young underpaid dive instructor have the resources to fight back?

I'm willing to donate $100 to his legal fund.

Please email dive@captainslate.com and let then know you are willing to help as well!

LETS HELP THIS MAN RESTORE HIS GOOD NAME!

The real shame about that site is that while it's like a supermarket tabloid in terms of its content, and is slanted specifically to further certain agendas - more 'propaganda' than news - its website format provides it an authentic appearance.

Too bad it doesn't have front page imagery such as "Bat-boy" or "Aliens Anal-probed Coeds" or something to let the casual browser recognize that they've stumbled onto journalistic red-neckery of the highest order.

The person who owns/runs this web site has worked very hard to cover their tracks, but here is the email address assigned to the admin. cdnn@cyberdiver.net

my next post will be the entire rout trace, it will take someone with better resources than I to dig any deeper.

Yes you are right, and I think I said that.

But Amascuba said it in English, not surrounded by geekspeak.

he he...yes. I stumbled on it awhile back and thought I had hit the jackpot. It uses real people's names and has kernals of truth here and there which makes it pretty dangerous.

 

[Sasquatch]

Back to the OP.

Yes, a disturbing article on all levels least of which it was so poorly written. Such is often the case with hack writers that can't find work for pay. They just attach themselves, remora like, to a host with a pretty home page and let spew their garbage in hopes of eliciting a response. That response is the only pay received. It won't pay the rent but it feeds that twisted part of the character that has effectively killed off any grain of integrity that may have been there at one time.

I believe the injured diver has a solid case for libel and defamation. At least.
