I just got this from GI. Here is the letter Nydivecoward sent to GI, after
getting notice from Alton Hall that he is going to get his ass sued off.
Look at this coward backpedal!

Are you sure your not an Iraqi? That would explain your rabid racism towards
Hindu's.

Too little, too late, pal. You are going to swing for your publicly posted
lies (called libel) about GI, the WKPP, Hood Sport N' Dive, Ron, me, my
military record, and all the filthy, spineless shit you said about my son.
And, you get to pay for my lawyer. All your bigotry, lies, slander,
cowardice, racism, filth and perversion are public record, held
electronically forever. You will get to see hard copies of it all in court.
And, as I promised, you are going to pay full price for every cowardly,
filthy word. It was all basically OK, typical Usenet flaming, until you hit
on my son. When you started using his condition as a weapon against me, you
polarized people against you, for good reason. What you said was beneath
contempt, and beyond the lowest bounds of human indecency and cowardice. You
are simply too arrogant and stupid to be ashamed, or to realize how far out
of the bounds of human decency you stooped. I wonder if you are sitting
there chuckling that chuckle of self satisfaction now?

You didn't give two shits about the truth, decency or contributing anything.
You were on a cut and slash mission, complete with malice aforethought, with
the full confidence afforded by your anonymous AOL account. Now that you
realize your anonymity is legally transparent, you want to get off with a
weak knee'd bullshit apology? Not a chance, you are going to pay *full*
price. And everyone here is going to know your name, the name of the shop
you work out of, your Engineering firm, and everything else about you.

Your anonymity is about to vanish, right along with a good part of your
paycheck. Funny, you don't sound so tough, and like such know-it-all bigshot
now, what's the deal? You wanted some action, you got it. And your precious
..357 isn't going to help you, unless of course, you choose the cowards out,
and screw it into your ear.

Its called reality closing in on you. Remember all the comments about law
suits, and lawyers? Coming home to roost Big Fella. Have fun explaining all
this to your wife, I truly feel sorry for her. She is going to have to
support you while you work to cash the check your big mouth wrote.

Black, why don't you post some more lies, make up some more stuff for deja,
and we'll throw you on the scrap heap with Nydivecoward? As you can see,
your only buddy here on rec.scuba (other than the ones you made up) just
ratted you out. *You* are the person who posted that I have a DD from the
Marine Corps, (your post was forwarded to me, and saved), an outright,
malicious fabrication, intended to harm my reputation. I also saved all the
e-mail I got, asking if it were true. Nydivecoward and you just ran away at
the mouth, and all I had to do was let you. You are next. You took my
silence as a tacit admission, when in reality, I was simply ignoring your
bullshit, and letting you run long enough to hang yourself. You two are your
own worst enemy.

Flaming wars are one thing, posting libelous and slanderous lies is wrong,
illegal, and actionable.

Here are the definitions:

li·bel
n.
Law

1) A false publication in writing, printing, or typewriting or in signs or
pictures that maliciously damages a person's reputation.

2)The act or an instance of presenting such a statement to the public.


slan·der
n.

Law.

1) Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's
reputation.
2) A false and malicious statement or report about someone.

We'll be seeing you two in the funny papers.

Scott
