sorry, I don't buy it. A 1% in the cave community??? WTF is that? Sorry your post smacks of both a "can't happen to me " mentality as well as projecting a seriously arrogant attitude with a royal "i/we" thrown in for effect?

Glad your royal court doesn't see the relevance, except that somehow over the last few years we as a community have managed to trash a pretty darn good cave safety record in regards to trained cavern and cave divers compared to the 20+ years that preceded. Why? Some believe that we are giving a pass to stupidity because we don't want to hurt peoples feelings.

Plus, if you think think the drama in the cave diving community is brought about only by "coming in from out of town" then all I can do is shake my head. Frankly that "townie" mentality is sophomoric.

I/we that participate in the CDF don't see the relevance of taking this and creating confrontation within the forum. In other words, if you don't have anything positive to say, don't say it at all. We have enough drama coming in from out of town, so try to minimize exposing yourself to further complications in the cave community.

Thanks in advance.
