WOW!!
Royal Scuba, you need to shut your doors down! Because Debraw has given you more free run over the past day than you got in all previous posts over the last few weeks.
Can someone in Arlington inform Austin: does the pie ever stop??
DebraW, it's not just you, in fact, we all enjoy using Scubaboard but then you decide not to play nice and start making claims. Mike S, another southern gent, sniffed this out from the get.
Go to page 1 and read the 4th, 7th and 8th posts in this thread again. (It should be easy, you are the author of two of them.) You admit to having threads that are active on Scubaboards TxSwampDivers MAIN BLOG (
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/texas-swamp-divers/) that are against the very thing you are policing. I DO NOT CARE WHETHER THEY ARE ONE DAY OLD, TWO WEEKS OLD, OR 4 YEARS OLD. (JAC seems to agree.) Why, because you think you deserve preferential treatment?
DebraW, you specifically shot off in the 4th post of this thread:
Respect the board and the board will respect you. Well, now "the board" is NOT respecting your approach to being a self-appointed policewoman.
DebraW, until you contact Ann Marie directly, turn in yourself, ask that all of your own threads that are identical to what you are against be IMMEDIATELY MOVED TO MARKETPLACE. Once it is confirmed that your threads are ALL moved to marketplace that involve your shop, then, AND ONLY THEN, should you be able to call out the practices of your competitors.
I was informed that you are still a non-employed minority owner of the shop that you claim you sold . . . SI Scuba. Try a different approach, be friendly for once. If you cant be friendly, then read the 10th post in this thread about ignoring threads all together.
Mack Diver, this is what I was discussing with you, about how Oak Hill and Royal Scuba are the cream of the crop in these parts. Its why I'll always get my mix from you, and my gal is gonna be certified through Royal. When reading this thread, its obvious why someone no longer runs a shop and why Mack and Nicco run bonafide operations. She doesnt have to be professional because she longer answers the SI Scuba phone, but Im witnessing first hand reasons why she is
retired. I gave her shop some business last year, her shop was nice but lacked hospitality. When in DFW, which is where my gal is from, I now buy from Tiger Shark, they are the best shop inbetween Dallas and Ft Worth in a long time.
DEBRAW,
Didnt you learn learn anything in MBA school? If you want to prove your point then strive to ignore. If everyone ignored these threads, and no one replied, then DebraW would definitely be in the right. But, if shes making
6 of the first 19 posts on the very thread she wants demolished, well thats just pathetic on her part. Thats nearly 33 percent of the threadlife, yahooooo!
Royal Scuba should put you on the payroll because you have given them a ton of kudos and you dont even know it.
This blogsite, Scubaboard, is what we make it, right??!?! If the MAJORITY wants it a certain way, then Scubaboard will make it so. The business that listens to its customers is a smart business. And Scubaboard is a smart business. (I wish I thought of it.) DebraW is obviously wrong because Im the 14th person to make comment on this thread and so far, only DebraW and ReefHound have a problem with this thread. That puts them in the overwhelming MINORITY! So, whatever comments Debraw makes from here on out, she does so with this understanding. Maybe she needs to reflect and focus on the things she can control, like her dive shop. Oops!!! Makes you wonder why she lost it??? Not really.
BullSharkGator
PS: On this thread alone, I bet she will make a minimum of 8 posts by Wednesday mid-morning and 10 posts by lunch!! Overwhelming MINORITY. She will probably demand a recount in Florida.
