JJ,

While I believe that canceling as they did was a shitty thing to do, you
should realize that this kind of thing, however nasty, will continue to
happen to you.  Why?  Because you closely associate yourself with
George Irvine, a man widely despised in diving circles; not for his
message but for his insensitive and nasty delivery.  You, by not denouncing
his abusiveness, de facto condone and encourage it and are therefore a party
to it.

If you don't like being treated badly, perhaps you should see to it that
you don't treat others badly yourself.
