@bamafan There is never the right person to die in a cave.
If you are going to make further attacks on the integrity of the CDS or any other training program you should also be ready to identify the culprits. In my view you either lied about what a CDS instructor told you or the CDS instructor who told you this played you as a fool to get you all hot and bothered.
This was a serious allegation defiling the CDS training program, who no one holds out as perfect. Without you identifying the instructor who told you this you leave us without any evidence to investigate the horrendous charge and frankly leaves me, and I am sure others questioning your motives.
Either identify the instructor and the details so we can investigate or apologize to this forum and the CDS training committee for what appears now to be simply the rants of an angry man with an agenda and no supporting facts.
PS-You and I have the same big picture goal for the cave community. We should be working together & not against one another. However if you think, as you seem to that I am a blithering idiot then lets agree to disagree and move on.
