If you are going to observe than observe, don't pass judgement on people. Cults? That sounds a bit extreme. The only secret handshake I think existed is the one you made when accepting the challenge of being an editor.
You are operating in the best interest of diver.net and that makes you biased. Kane wrote he doesn't care how anyone dives. He appears to just be asking others to look at what they are doing and consider other options. Opinions are very hard for some to listen to when they are supported by facts. Not personal beliefs but hard and crunchy facts.
You are a conciliator role when you publically take observed tidbits of topics, leveraging with personal moralas and public sentiments as you understand them both pro and con, and pass judgement upon an individual and their beliefs and agenda. It was your own word you used when you wrote judgement wasn't it? Or did you perhaps mean it in a stronger context?
