I took a look at this to see if it was some new deep dive that had just taken place... oh dear, it wasn't.

I don't use YD, (I don't live in Yorkshire, why would I?

) so I don't know what passes as netiquette (spelling?) over there but I'm pretty sure I don't like the look of this and I suspect it'll upset the fine balance we have here. (again)

I for one have heard about enough of this "dive" and it doesn't really do anyone any good to keep dragging it through the mud.

Although I am in essence creating a thread by replying what I want to say is- Do we really want another thread about this?

I think this is best left and all the better to let everyone move on and go diving.

Ben,

Take a look at Cedric's post, he had written a summarized reply about the whole incident.

I will put the link here:

http://www.cedricverdier.com/writing...ontroversy.pdf

Again, I have no idea where the truth is. It is just more information from Cedric side in case anyone is interested.

I read it, it was the thing that prompted my- "it doesn't really do anyone any good to keep dragging it through the mud" comment.... he may have felt moved to defend himself but it just adds to a big'ole pile of crap surrounding the antics of this dive IMVHO.

Unfortunatly he saw fit to respond to insults with insults... seems to have missed the high ground and taken the whole thing another step lower, again IMVHO no offense intended to anyone, or anyones fans.
Sad and

I hope any ensuing crap-shoot can be kept on YD not here

Sorry, I know its not my place to suggest any of this, I'll leave that to the mods.
