    It sure sounded like it to me.

    Always seek the advice of others, but NEVER let anyone else do your thinking for you.

    It occurred right after posting and it's possible it was a coincidence.
    I definitely wasn't "bashing" but I understand there is a culture of silencing dissent here and since bugman and cook have been so quiet lately someone's got to take the heat for speaking truth.
    I have not read your original posting concerning scootering at Twin Caves. I do appreciate your concern for something you feel is wrong and possibly damaging to this cave system. If your IP was blocked for expressing this, that's BS. This IS the forum to discuss concerns of possible cave damage and bad etiquette/attitude of these fragile systems. I'm not a DPV diver but its obvious damage can be done/has been done by "finners". I have seen and can see the potential for DPV damage. If done politely, calling attention to these scenarios should be appreciated.

    This admin didn't block your IP. And the others I know would've just banned someone, not blocked a single IP. It's easier that way. Feel free to post or PM what makes you think a particular IP is banned and I'll be happy to look into it.

    Thank you for being the voice of reason. I have no dog in this fight, but mdax publicly calling out Rob on an open forum without any proof of his accusation is just as bad as what he accused Rob of doing. Even worse, actually, because unless he can prove that it's true, mdax is guilty of libel.

    Realize that the internet is not a place to air private issues. Grow up.

    It's a rather weak libel case with 2 students who have confirmed it and another team who saw it, and the fact rob has posted about it.

    This is why cave training sucks, no one has the balls to point out wrong doings and when they do they're told to stfu.

    You missed my point. I'm not talking about what went on in the cave. I'm talking about accusing Rob of blocking his IP with only speculation and not a shred of evidence.

    Oh geez, libel. Come on grow up. Next time anyone calls each other names on the internet, we'll make sure to go tell our mommies too.

    I don't mean this to be rude, because I realize English isn't everyone's first language and don't want to assume since I don't know you, but asking "did someone" isn't accusatory, it's a question.
