To Jim Holden, why did you Email this Photo ?

Chris · 9th September 2006, 13:17

Jim
You sick individual, care to explain to me and the rest of RBW why you sent me this image via Email with no explanation to it?

I have had several mates die on CCR's and your Email hit me right in the guts. Why the hell would you post something like this to a complete stranger. Grow up you friging child, you insensitive *****.

Cheers
Chris

Shocked and Sickened reading this .....

what a pathetic individual.

Chris I just deleted the picture and will descibe it - I mean why give the asshole free publicity - right?

The sick picture was a montage of images celebrating the fact that someone had died on a Megalodon.

Chris,

Completely agree with you, that photo is completely out of order!

I too am shocked that someone could send such a photo.
I'm not sure there could ever be a satisfactory explanation for sending it.

I saw the picture before Stuart deleted it, and I'm not gonna comment any further...

If anyone else received anything like this through the forums, or via email etc, can you please contact myself, Stuart, or one of the other mods / admins via email or PM with the details... I'd hate to think this "gentleman" has sent it to anyone else..........

Thanks

Dave

back to our regular programming now we hope.

Hello There.

I have just registered purely to reply to this post.

I can hardly express how insensed I am that certain individuals can find amusement at the death of someone's nearest and dearest. My beloved died quite recently, just doing what you guys do: out on a dive that he never came home from. I hope Mr Holden will never know the shock, pain, horror that ensues while you wonder what went through their minds and what they went through in their last moments. The diver dies once; the ones that are left behind re-live it with them in each waking moment of our now-empty lives. Still laughing, Mr Holden?

I havent seen the photo thank God, wouldnt want to or need to; you lose someone you love in this way, believe me, you have pictures aplenty in your head. Hilarious isnt it, Mr Holden.

I'm not a diver, dont understand much about it in fact, but I can understand and defend your right to do it, just as I defended my man's right to dive. There are some incredible and amazing people in the dive community, my man was one of them. His buddies, who have rallied around the kids and I, well they're fantastic. I've read posts on this forum, and I see examples of that same fellowship here too. Black humour is how you all deal with the risks that you take; that's ok. But this post, no, it's not ok. It's anything but funny and it crossed a line.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Other than an a--hole, who is Jim Holden?

CeeBee · 9th September 2006, 22:43

Sorry folks

Thinking about it, I'm afraid I probably took this a bit too personally, I hadnt seen the pics so i shouldnt judge and it wasnt referring to my fella. I also shouldnt have dignified it with a response. It just hit a bit of a raw nerve. There's some unknown family out there who is going through this right now; I know what it feels like, it's just that we're a bit further down the line than this poor person's family. I wouldnt wish any of
it on my worst enemy.

A c***, and a trouble-maker I guess. But I guess he knows that already.

I would suggest locking this thread and blocking his IP and ignoring him from now on. We all know he's a f'wit and it's a waste of electrons talking about him.

good point Janos - Chris can you look at the headers of the email so we can see which Ip sent it - I will cross ref to RBW logs.

Don't Know, don't care. I just trust that most people eventually get what they deserve. Bad karma has a way of returning.
