Subject: Re: the Pussy Re: Madison blue fatatlities
Alton, I do not mind these guys being resentful , but when the
"community" feels the need to lie about me or the Project it needs to be
questioned. 

I have never said anything about anyone that is not true, or what I have
said is my opinion.

For Cuiper to get on here and say that I "left buddies when it got
rough" is neither true nor an opinion. While this may seem logical in
the mind of a Cuiper, we do not play that way. If it is too "tough" for
me, I call it, and my buddies go out with me. Too "tough" for me means
that the goals of the dive are unobtainable in light of the conditions,
and that is usually determined in the first five minutes, or before we
ever get in the water. This guy needs to give up the source of that one,
or retract it.

What is happening is that the cave "community" has stories from the old
days of WKPP and Tallahassee diving prior to WKPP and attributes them
all to me since I now run the Project. We had guys who used to run
freeforalls like that, but they are neither diving now nor would this
behavior be allowed by me, or by anyone in the WKPP.

Since I have run the project, there have been no such stories to tell,
and there are no such stories to tell about me.

We also have a guy named "sutton" who has come on here and claimed that
as a result of a "penetration" dive a WKPP diver is now "wearing
diapers". This needs to be questioned.

It is amazing that these gusy go to such lengths to try to dicredit the
best track record in diving. What does that tell everyone? We shoot for
safety , information, and improvement, setting records and learning
facinating things in the meantime, sharing them and spending our own
time and moeny doing, it, and the strokes spend full time fighting that.
