View Full Version : The Genesis situation

Guys, it's time to stop talking about Genesis.

This board was started to give us a place to discuss spearfishing and diving in general. I think it's a fantastic idea. I like the increased freedom of this board over FS. But ya know, someone said a while back that this place was called Spearboard, not Karlboard. I fear that we're gravitating towards what it shouldn't be; a place to bash Genesis. I hate the guy as much as any of you and can find plenty of reasons to ridicule and resent nearly every one of his posts. But it's kind of like turning around to drive past a bad car wreck again. You can't help but look at the spectacle, but you shouldn't keep going back to look at it again and again.
When I went to UF, there was a preacher that came by once a year in early December. He'd stand in the Plaza of Americas all day and welcome debates from all comers. Brother Jed was a weirdo, but fairly smart. Genesis reminds me of Brother Jed in that he argues and argues and argues but never, EVER concedes a point or gives his opponent any respect. All of the college students figured that out about Brother Jed, it's time for us to figure that out about Genesis.

The only attention he seems to be able to get is negative attention, but he still loves it. He loves pissing people off. He enjoys getting our goat and is probably thrilled right now that he has succeeded. Personally, I don't want to give him that satisfaction.

Anyway, it's too much fun making fun of his comments to stop completely, either here or on FS. I'm still going to mess with him a bit on the FS forum. But over here, let's keep the # of threads and posts dedicated to him to a minimum.

Just my .02

you know Gator you do have a point there. We should just **** with him @ FS and not mention the G-word here again. Much like the old days with the "Flying Nun". Damn I had forgotten about that dipshit until just now. Were you around when he was in his hayday? I say it starts here with me and you and hopefully the others will follow our lead. I'm sure he enjoys all the attention he has been gettin' over here. Good call Gator:D

I'd agree, but 1 of the things everyone's raved about regarding this forum is the lack of censorship. People can easily get offended when you edit their posts no matter how good the reason; we're all playing nice now and I wouldn't want to change that.
Besides, comments every once in a while about the Gman are OK, they were just getting too frequent!

swimming with dolphins? 4:47 PM 10/27/2002


does anyone know or has experience with dolphins in the wild being aggressive towards swimmers. i have a habit of jumping in the water and swimming with them. i have been told that they can be agressive. i have never seen it or experience any agression from dolphins.
maybe one day i can make a friend like flipper and use him to catch big fish,

That'll be $5,000 sir.
(Intentionally feeding dolphins - or any other marine mammal - is bigtime illegal)

http://www.publicaffairs.noaa.gov/releases99/may99/noaa99r126.html

So now we're worried about a dolphin's welfare when the typical FS forum member could give a sh!t about a manatee's??
Hmmmmm.

Re: swimming with dolphins? (richhermes) 12:27 PM 10/28/2002


Heh, that's cool.
Did 'ya know that the BOAT can be seized if you're caught?

Did 'ya know that the fine can be up to $10,000 against the person, and $25,000 against the vessel?

No?

Well, 'ya do now.

"Take" is defined in the MMPA as any act that alters behavior patterns, tends to harass, or could have harmful effect (you don't have to kill them outright._ This has been litigated, and feeding a dolphin in the wild has been found to qualify.

Don't do it.

Seize your boat??
Whatever!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 protects dolphins as well as all other marine mammals. Under the MMPA it is illegal to harass or feed marine mammals in the wild. Violations can result in civil penalties of up to $12,000 and criminal fines of up to $20,000 and jail time.

Feeding the dolphin? Is that what I said? No, he wasn't feeding him, he was actually trying to nurse that hogfish back to health. He felt bad for the little feller so he jumped in the water, attempting to pass water through his gills, when that SOB dolphin came from no where and stole his fish.
Pictures? I didn't see no stinking pictures!

Just another fine example of a thread taking a nose dive thanks to G-man from Happyville. No one here really gives a squat regarding your input. You should start posting your own topics and replying to yourself. Maybe FS can start you your own corner.

Hey Dan,

You know what I think. He's trying to piss people off. Now that I don't respond to the Diver's forum, he's looking for new people to piss on.

I grew up in that inlet he takes that Gigaturd boat out every week, and we used to get drunk as high schoolers and feed dolphins dead bait. The dolphins are ****ing rad, like pets and shit. In fact, one of our dogs was swimming in the water, and the dolphin was playing with him. Freaked the dog out, but the dolphin loved it. How can you not feed a dolphin when they come up to the boat???

1) No officer is ****ing bored enough to take someone to jail over feeding a dolphin. Picking dingleberrys off of a ducks ass is more fun and productive than that.

2) No officer will risk being seen in court over that kind of charge. It's embarrassing. Makes him look like hes a stupid cop. Especially when the judge laughs at him and throws the case out.

3) What's the purpose?

4) Gman likes to say "and SEIZE your boat" for every stupid ****ing thing he disagrees with. Powerhead a fish...seize your boat...get a speeding ticket...seize your boat...Vote for McBride...seize your boat. I swear, you can get caught with 5 undersized lobster and they still wont take your ****ing boat. Gman is IGNORANT in reality, but I guess IGNORANCE is bliss...like Patrick Starfish says in "spongebob".

I guess the best thing to do is to ignore him, but you guys like to call his bullshit just like I do. I don't blame ya.

10-31-2002, 06:52 PM
Yes. I know someone years ago who got caught with 2 over. I know the guy and I believe it was an honest mistake, diving with 4 other people in the keys and lost count. They were as ****ing drunk as a skunk in a peach orchard too. I can't remember what his fines came out to be, but it really wasn't all that much. Maybe a couple of hundred dollars? That's it. The cops ****ed with them for being drunk but let them on their way.

This was a couple years ago, but I think it's still current.

The maximum for each count is $500 and possible forfiture of anything that helped you get the critter.

We went through this a while back and came up the the most expensive bug (fine only) is about $2000. That would be an undersize, out of season, female with eggs, with a hole in her. I guess that if you now added in taking her in a protected no-take area of the keys you could get that up to $2500.

G-man is right about the boat. Normally what is confiscated is up to the officer handling the event though. If he doesn't take it when the ticket is written it rarely comes up in later discussions with the judge.

I once saw a man taken to jail in his underwear by an OK Game Warden after he got abusive with the warden. Just because the fool had filled the back end of his pickup truck with an illegal gill net covered by a half ton of largemouth bass he didn't think that the warden should be "picking" on his drunk ass and proceeded to cuss out the warden. He went to jail, but the tow truck took his almost new truck, his boat & trailer, and his clothes along with the net and fish. The warden was nice enough to leave his wife and kids standing at the ramp instead of arresting them as well. I think the warden left him his underwear just so his bare ass wouln't be on the seat in the back of his patrol car on the way to jail.

The ONLY law enforcement officer in the US that has more power to ruin your life is a Texas Ranger. The warden can search you or your house without a warrant, confiscate you or your property, and in general make your life miserable as long as you remain in his jurisdiction. The Texas Ranger can do all that, as well as follow you anywhere in the world to continue the treatment if the Texas Governor requests or condones it. The Ranger answers ONLY to his superiors and The Governor.

The net result is that if stopped by a warden BE POLITE even if you think the warden is wrong! The amount of pain he can cause you without even trying is way beyond what the "big three" of your dentist, lawyer and proctologist can do. Most wardens can be reasonable folks if treated properly and it's obvious you aren't rapeing the reef.

I got stopped by a Texas Ranger outsife of Lubbock (sp?) this past January, during the start of a rare Texas snow storm. I thought when he saw those Florida plates he was going to hammer me. But I was just as polite as I could be, "Yes sir, you're absolutely right, I was speeding..." Let me off. Real nice guy.

I would be the same way around any marine patrol agent or game warden.

Inlet, you just had to have a G-rant! That's all right. It's not good if you hold it all in; it could cause constipation. :D By the way, I agree with everything you said about the Marine patrol. There is no way they would prosecute giving a dolphin a hogfish. But what about Genesis saying (or implying, at the very least), that he reported me to the FWC because of giving the dolphin a fish. Like you said, people love dolphin. Most people would give the dolphin a fish. But to G, it's a federal case.

here he is, showing off his wealth again...

I didn't know you could make that much pushing around mops???



BULL$HIT!

Quit ignoring your BRAIN people.

If you spend $1.00, that dollar gets spread around the economy and is "consumed."

Let's say you put it in the BANK. You SAVE it. The bank can loan out $10.00 for every dollar you put in there - that's the law. So by SAVING $1, you generate TEN dollars of economic activity (!)

Let's say you INVEST that dollar in a business. I'll use an example I am intimately familiar with - my former one. With about $50,000 worth of invested capital over a couple of years, I ran a company that turned roughly $20 million worth of gross revenues. Of that, about $12 million was paid out during those years in salaries and cost of goods and services sold, and the remainder reinvested and paid out as profits. Ignoring the profit I and the other stockholders made on the sale of the firm in the end (which you can't ignore, because it was a nice big number too!) each dollar invested in that business returned TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS in directly-expended funds (salaries, etc) In addition, it fed about 20 families for those five years (the families of my staff.)

If I had just GIVEN the $50,000 to the government, by the time they got done screwing around with it that would just about cover ONE AFDC-grabbing welfare mommy for ONE year.

So let's see - 20 people for five years, or one person for one year.

Gee, this is an easy analysis, isn't it?

The absolute WORST thing to do if you want to stimulate the economy is to give it to people who will spend it.

This is an interesting thread.
I have read much of what this fellow has written in the referenced threads - no, make that "a lot" - "much" implies over half, I think, and I couldn't wade through that much, but there's plenty available.
I have decided he is a seagull. He squawks and flaps, flaps and squawks, craps all over the place but won't fly on his own.
Yep. Seagull.

PS He's just drug his latest dive shop bashing thread on Scubaboard out to over 300 posts, just about all by himself!

I have to say that is one of the better descriptions of him I've heard!!

Good call, Carcharhinus. He is a seagull. A snowbird, really since he's from way up north, but a seagull is more appropriate...someone toss him an alkaseltzer

I can't believe how far that "another one bites the dust" thread has gotten. Like a modern day "Pied Piper" of a ****ing wad of idiots, he has convinced a small group to petition the CEO's of scubapro or some shit like that...21 pages of posts already.

What has this world come to? :rolleyes:
