Suggestion Make 'Fred' a sticky?

[redrover]

Aloha,

I was just nosing around and read the thread LittleFrog posted 08-02-04 about ‘Fred’. I thought were I a visitor I’d pull what ever forum location the area was and see what’s up. So I wondered if maybe a sticky for this thread might be a good idea. I suspect those who use that forum frequently may get annoyed, but boy would I want to know about the potential encounter.

He has not surfaced lately (no pun intended).

I'm sorry Lisa but you lost me... what thread is it that you feel should be sticky and why?

Fred is a nut in California that people are warning each other about. This is the thread

thanks for clearing that up... I was sitting back thinking the same thing "who the heck is Fred" ..

Thank you all for bringing this to my attention, I am bringing up the issue to the supervisors and will be in contact with the necessary government bodies to get their input on the matter. Obviously it is impossible for ScubaBoard to provide a good warning service as it would be far too easy for abuse or liable but when there is a clear issue such as this one, consideration needs to be taken to be sure people remain safe.

Is it a clear issue? The post seems to be more hear-say, rumor, and conjecture than actual first hand accounts of mis-behavior. If the man's behavior is as bad as people say it is, why not report it to the authorities?

TwoBit - That is an excellent point and something I have been pondering since this thread first came up. There is no doubt that someone is being "creepy" (that's clear) but beyond that...? In any case, ScubaBoard is a place for discussion, not for investigation.

I'm on the opposite coast and I enjoy following the Fred Thread. He's reached celebrity status, well maybe notoriety is a better term, and I enjoy the sighting reports. Is there a market for "I dove with Fred" T-shirts?
