It's because of assholes such as this, that people don't own up to 
their mistakes.  This hurts the diving community as a whole.  I for 
one have a lot of respect for Jim, for having the guts to come out 
and say that he's not ready.  The reason it takes guts is exactly 
because there are assholes like the one who posted the message below. 
I've had some disagreements with Jim in the past, and yes, he can be 
abrasive.  This does not, however, give one license to shoot him down 
in public when he does the right thing.

I'd just like to add that whoever this asshole is, he's also a 
coward, since he doesn't have the guts to sign his name.
