Lee Bell, in a rec.scuba.locations subject initiated by Ron Lee,
"Bob Ling continues to resort to name-calling", continued his malicious
attack, now sank to a new LOW (Nadir), not content with Hugh's
Huntzinger's malicious attack, mud-slinging me and my profession, wrote:

LB>  Michael Black comitted suicide.  I hope Bob's rants don't end
LB>  that way.  I hope his wife < ... > helps him stear clear of such
LB>  an wasteful end.  I hope, even more, that somebody helps him get
LB>  therapy.  Once upon a time, he was worth knowing.

Dr. Michael J. Black was a human being and a fellow DIVER,

Trying unsuccessfully to flame me is one thing.

Have some HUMAN DECENCY, Lee, in your futile attempts to make your ugly
self look better than what it is. Read my "euology" posts about this man.

Furthermore, Lee had kill-filed me and hadn't read any of my posts for
MONTHS (supposed YEARS) now, somehow could make such irresponsible
statements with his head in the sand (or in an orifice where the sun
don't shine):

LB>  He's a small man with a big ego and, now that he's no longer king
LB>  of the classroom, one who's having a bit of trouble understanding
LB>  why he does not get the respect he thinks is his right.



On the topics of credibility, respect, scuba substance, and netizenship,
I find it no coincidence or surprise that in a single morning, we have
these INDEPENDENT assessments and testimonials about Lee Bell, by three
Eminent Professionals (EPs) in the same SCUBA discussion forum:


EP1>  Of recent times, your follow-up critiques of my posts has been a
EP1>  predictable occurrence that inevitably degenerates to this level.
EP1>  Which comes as little surprise given your appalling lack of
EP1>  knowledge of diving.  Wouldn't you, therefore, be better off
EP1>  re-instating me back into your kill-file - where you put me
EP1>  once before?

It wouldn't help.  It would only make (Mr. Hyde) Lee's follow-up style
much worse.  Lee would apply his same "follow-up critique" to your posts,
EXCEPT he would have read snippets of them, second hand and out of
context from someone who cited you.



EP2>  It's official: You may be able to read, but comprehension is sorely
EP2>  lacking.  I wonder why this surprises me, I should have recognized
EP2>  the pattern long ago. I'll try to use CAPS where I think it will
EP2>  enhance your understanding:

ROTFLMAO!   CAPS definitely would not help Lee.  Trust me!   :-)


EP2>  I was always told that black holes were the densest phenomenon in
EP2>  the universe, but I am beginning to think maybe I could take a swing
EP2>  at a Nobel Prize in physics, if I could prepare a compelling
EP2>  synopsis of your posts.

That would be a FIRST in the Nobel Prizes in Physics, that the recipient
IS a Black Hole.



EP3>  Does wanting to bitch slap Lee count?  ;-)

Towards your standing in Good Citizenship!   :-)

P.S.  A related note to Lee and Hugh Huntzinger's contribution to LISTS:

      1.  There has been ZERO post (except Nick's censorship edict,
          euphemistically labeled "Posting Guidelines") in Scuba-L,
          since Christmas, 2003.

      2.  Scuba-SE, (count started essentially after Nick's censorship
          massacre of Scuba-L in MAY, 2000) surpassed the 18,000 postS
          mark this morning.  Scuba-L had a TOTAL of 466 postings
          (including Nick's periodic posting of censorship guidelines.)
