Dan Volker is a dive industry whore and a shark feeding liar...David Martinez - Recreational DiverJuly 20, 2002 at 16:50:26The exchange between Ventura and Bonde strongly suggests that Ritter lied.
No surprise--so did many other feeders including Dan Volker, another dive industry whore and the dead brain behind the dead garbage called the South Florida Dive Journal, a failed rag that has always been worthless. Volker, who has a 110 volt hard-on for Cyber Diver and the Marine Safety Group, just can't get over losing the shark feeding war, and can't stop lying about his heros for the 10-20 lifers at rec.scuba who are so preoccupied flaming each other, insulting
newcomers and gossiping about sockpuppets, they haven't said anything relevant to scuba diving since the last millennium. For the Scuba Forum record, here are a few of Volker's crude attempts to worship and celebrate his heros: Dan Volker lie #1: CDNN is a pawn of the commercial fishing industry. Truth: All of us who regularly read CDNN know that Volker is lying. No other organization in the diving industry works so hard to protect
the environment and marine wildlife from the commercial fishing industry. But CDNN has also opposed the scuba industry for environmentally unacceptable policies and that's why industry whores like Volker have their blood-stained shark-feeding panties in a frustrated wad. Dan Volker lie #2: CDNN condones chumming by sport fishers. Truth: Silly old hookers! CDNN opposes all marine life feeding and chumming by both sport fishers and commercial fishers.
Check www.cdnn.info/eco/e020716/e020716.html and www.cdnn.info/news/editorial/o011125.html Dan Volker lie #3: Cyber Diver/CDNN censors opposing viewpoints. Truth: Attention all dive industry whores!
You are now reading Scuba Forum, which features a diversity of opinions related to topics taken from CDNN news reports. As far as I know, the same people who brought you CDNN and Cyber Diver also gave you Scuba Forum so you could humiliate yourself all over again. Dan Volker lie #4: CDNN is faking its commitment to conservation as a cover for lobbying efforts on behalf of the commercial fishing industry. Truth: All of us who regularly read CDNN know
this is another Volker lie. No other organization within the dive industry and few in the conservation community have been more aggressive in condemning the commercial fishing industry than Cyber Diver and CDNN. The list of news reports and articles must number in the hundreds, if not the thousands. Dan Volker lie #5: CDNN and the Marine Safety Group are partners and the MSG pays CDNN to do its bidding. Truth: Cute--the old conspiracy
theory! Many conservation activists - CDNN, the MSG, the Humane Society, Reef Relief and many others - teamed up in the coalition (or partnership) that defeated Volker and other industry whores who are now feeding sharks illegally for bucks.
But the MSG is primarily a one-issue group, whereas Cyber Diver is into many issues. Even on shark feeding, they do not always move in tandem. For example, the MSG is into the accident in which a British journalist died on a shark feeding dive in the Bahamas. So far, I have not seen any mention of it in Cyber Diver or CDNN. And so forth and so on--most of Volker's idiotic drivel is so crude and transparent, only feeders (and rec.scuba clowns) can swallow it
without choking. Three things are absolutely certain: 1. Volker and the shark feeders will continue to lie and disparage CDNN, MSG, the Humane Society, National Geographic, Reef Relief and other members of the anti-shark feeding coalition. 2. Florida shark feeders will continue to break the law. 3. And finally, officials will rule against DEMA's last-gasp desperation lawsuit on behalf of the shark feeding criminals who have ensured
the final outcome by refusing to comply with the law. That's the last nail in the shark feeding coffin already welded shut by a hungry bull shark and a hopeless fool named Erich Ritter. |
