Gresham, Robinson blew the whistle on cyanide fishing. Cervino et al (2003) proved that cyanide exposure kills corals after one application. Hence, what Robinson "believed" has been proven to be true.

Cervino, J. M., R. L. Hayes, M. Honovitch, T. J. Goreau, S. Jones, and P. J. Rubec. 2003. Changes in zooxanthellae density, morphology, and mitotic index in hermatypic corals and anemones exposed to cyanide. Marine Pollution Bulletin 46: 573-586.

Really? Having spent well over a thousand hours with the guy, having scanned every document he published basicly, and having sat thru countless talks he's gieven, I think I know that Peter :lol:

Let's look at dates:

Steve blew the whisle when? 83?
Steve gave that quote to you when? 87?
James's study was published when? 2003?

Steve surely didn't believe that due to James's study Peter. Your post in a typical NGO swing on things. It's akin to the UN report saying blast fishing is used for MO :lol:

Just try and make your points in a little more polite manner.

Like let's say saying something like?

If people are going to make those type of claims in public, they beg for sarcastic response.

That doesn't seem rude to you, you wrote it

Gresham,
Why don't you just trying being more polite instead of looking to place the blame elsewhere.

Thales also noticed this, but perhaps he cut you some slack since you are fellow club members.

oops, I haven't been a paying member well over a year now. I still post on their forum, but not as a club member I post on like 30 other club forums in the US but I don't belong to them either

Thales could be at home sick and in bed, unable to moderate me as well. Your conspiracy theorys are some times just that Mitch, unproven theorys that detract from the truth

Look Mitch :lol: Until you can walk the walk you speak, please don't try to tell me how to post.

I admit I was rude, but being called on it by you is well, quite funny given your track record :lol:

I'm a free speech guy 100%, but an employee owes the place of his employment a certain amount of respect. I can come here and present my views and if it isn't good for my business it's one thing. Eric Cohen can come here and tell us his opinions on what is good for the industry and if that hurts his business it's sort of like my situation. But if you however come here and alienate potential customers it could be crossing a line an employee shouldn't cross. My recommendation to you is to be more careful in what you write. You come off as being way too emotional. The good news is that there are medications that can help.

POT!

KETTLE!

:lol:

whether good points are made or not, a poor choice of words only serves to make the author seem unprofessional and lacking emotional intelligence(I learned this first-hand). It's also counter-productive to any future communications with the person you're belittling.

Exclamation points, CAPS, and emoticons also make posts seem adolescent(also learned first-hand). They're more appropriate for myspace than a forum for professionals, imo.

Thales may be sick but I'm not. Let me make it clear to everyone: play nice or get edited/warned/deleted etc...
This forum has been very civil in the last few months and I don't want to see it become a bickering mess again.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.-Jim
