George-
Please find your "private" e-mail and my response attached below.  I give 
everyone I don't know the respect they deserve; you burned up any currency 
of this respect long ago.  I owe you nothing and thus don't ever try to send 
me this type of BS and think it will be "private."  Your threats are 
hysterical.  Your facts are non-existent.  I asked you to keep it to me as 
that is what it started with and yet you fail on that simple request.  You 
fail to even get close to addressing any of your preliminary claims (read as 
LIES).  I will no longer respond to you as you are a petty, sick man.

Before I post the final message, I will take a minute to address your 
nonsense, just for shits:

>Ok, Mikey. Here you go. For one , I was not diving "air".

Never claimed you were, just offered that as a possible reason why you got a 
different depth and why 9' was a big deal to you.  I thought it rude to call 
you a "psycho moron" right up front.

>Mix might be new
>to a stroke like you and the rest of the idiots who dove air on the 
>Monitor,
>like Tysall who just plain does not get it the air thing , but it is very
>old and familiar to me.

No one dove air on the Monitor in 2000.  Why are you such a psycho moron?

>First your pal (snip)...

I asked you to keep it to me (see below) and your short attention span 
couldn't even tackle that task.  I have no knowledge of these "claims" so I 
will not address them.  Most of these guys are my friends, others are 
aquaintances.  All I suspect do not have the tolerance to even acknowledge 
this crap.  Again, if you have claims with ME such as the LIES you initially 
posted, please let me know...

>Do you want me to continue, asshole, or have you heard enough.

I have heard enough to realize that you are a goon, incapable of learning.

>The fact is
>you and your pals run a bullshit operation, and your pretenses are 
>bullshit,
>and your results are bullshit and the whole group of you does not have one
>working set of balls between you nor do you have any clue what you are
>doing. FACT.

No -- OPINION.  You really need to get an education so you can recognize the 
difference.

>I am sure you are real proud of yourself, but the fact is you are bush
>league bullshit.

It is also why you are a punch line to so many jokes and why so many 
organizations and agencies won't get near you.  And don't fool youself, it 
is NOT about the diving.

>Your buddy Rodriguez approached me and JJ about the Occulina reef dives, 
>and
>I told him the only way we dive is if I run the operation, and when all of
>you combined get to my level of experience, expertise and track record, you
>will understand why and understand why I am so sick of bullshit like you 
>out
>there running your mouth.

More OUTRIGHT AND BLATANT LIES.  I approached you and JJ last year, as well 
as Volker, to see if you would be interested in doing these dives.  I sent 
JJ the video after we exchanged a few e-mails.  The video speaks for itself. 
  Because of a lack of charter and time, I tabled this idea.
This year I again e-mailed you and JJ.  No response from JJ.  After you 
attacked others that were cc'ed on the e-mail, I still (dumb on my part) 
e-mailed you and gave you go ahead to field your own team to get the data.  
You didn't do dick.  I found out my friends were interested in the project 
so I decided to move ahead.  Again, you didn't do DICK.  Though the project 
got blown out, we have rescheuled.  I have also found out this weekend at 
AAUS that the project will be getting priority from other sources.

Apology to the TECHDIVER list:

I am sorry for partaking in this exchange with George.  As you can all see 
it is futile.  He can not address simple questions or back up his opinions 
on me with any fact.  I will no longer waste your time with this silly 
dialogue.  I will continue to post trip reports and images from our dives; 
thanks for everyone's kind comments on them thus far...

Goodbye George:

Hi George-

Listen, I have no idea what your problem is.  You try to make everything a 
competition ("crawling on the bottom" crack) which is lost on me.  You 
further imply that I don't know what I am doing with vague BS slams.  You 
have no credibility:  you contorted every issue and failed to make one 
salient point.  When I try and rebut your claims or ask for specifics you 
predictably bring up your security blanket which is in the form of this 
"scorecard."

I have no idea what your problems are with the guys I dive with.  I have yet 
to see anything from them topside or in the water to give me pause.  If you 
have a problem with them, take it up with them.  This discussion started 
with me, so let's stay focused and stick with the program.  You state that 
you would be "glad to embarrass every one of you with some of the shit I 
have seen you idiots pull."  If you can try and embarass ME -- this is about 
your problems with ME -- then go ahead.  It may be hard to do though as you 
have never met me nor dove with me (I guess omniscience has its advantages). 
  I am sure you will cite some "rumors" or innuendo though...

I have never criticized your gear protocol or achievements.  The merits of 
the program stand on their own.  As an explorer, you have accomplished some 
exceptional dives.  As a human being, you are a waste of flesh.

Now, if you want to drop this dialogue, that will be fine.  However, if you 
want to continue to make BS claims and false generalizations with absolutely 
no supporting evidence, I will continue to defend myself.  You have not 
phased me, only bored me.  I must make it known that if you do bring this 
back up and continue your tirade on TECHDIVER, I will post this e-mail just 
to bring everyone up to speed.  Your call.

Cheers,
Mike

OK, you little pussy. Do you want me to put out the scorecard, or do you
want to shut the fuck up and get lost? I have a big problem with most of the
assholes you dive with, they are backstabbing scum, and they are extreme
pussies, from Little Joey to Ralph to that piece of shit Zurl. Rodrigues
pulled one of the biggest stroke tricks ever up in Va, and I would be glad
to embarrass every one of you with some of the shit I have seen you idiots
pull. You have no business fucking with me, and the fact is you and your
wimp pals have a tiny FRACTION of my knowledge , skill , ability and time on
the job, and the bullshit way you do things reflects that quite obviously to
me. None of you have a clue what the real deal looks like.
