Eric allegedly stated that there would be repercussions. Sounds repressed but that just may be his way of speaking.
Discussing the situation is "not fair?" I think you mean nothing available other than the letters originally cited are not fair. I can be mistaken though. I can route you to people who have heard EB demean others but that is pointless. We can discuss Eric, myself, Patrick or anyone else. There is nothing unfair about asking questions and discussing what the situation appears to be. I think threatened repercussions (as EB allegedly stated) with no explanation to your peeps is a tad unfair too. This is not the ReefGang where our little gang bang leaders are above reproach. I would like EB to answer my questions as well as those of others here because he is a leading representative in the reef keeping community. There is no law compelling him to speak. It will only cost a little respect but that doesn't have much value to many people anymore. Yes I made an assumtion that many people don't care about respect based on personal experiences. It does matter to me though. Our leaders are held to a moral/ethical standard that they may not be able to reach. For that I am sorry. BUT if you cannot lead, I will not follow you and I will talk about what I have read and seen.
Ok - you cannot argue the next statement:
Eric is believed, whether rightly or wrongly, that he did something wrong 2 years ago by an unspecified number of reefkeepers. This belief is based on documentation located at another site and is allegedly able to be confirmed by various governmental agencies. Eric is a leading representative of the reef keeping community. Eric has yet, to anyone's knowlege, explained the misunderstanding between himself, the government, or those who are rightly or wrongly concerned. Because he is a leader of the reef keeping community, some of those who he represents are discussing ad infinitum what has happened on a reef releted message board forum.
No assumptions there. I cannot stop people from making assumptions. Those who make wild assumptions are not given much credence. Those who back up beliefs with documentation generally are. I can only answer to the integrity of what I have said and I stand by what I have asked and said.
