Cave Clan article
Hi; I have gone over your revision of the Cave Clan article and made some minor edits (putting in wiki links, rearranging a few sentences). I have also put in a few comments, which are invisible to the viewer but visible when editing text, suggesting things which need to be fleshed out. In particular, the piece could do with more details on why Alf Saddlier is seen as an inspirational figure, and on the drowning of Brian McHugh and his connection or otherwise to the group. All in all, though, good job. Acb 14:36, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Cave Clan NPOV
Hello Doug --

With the Cave Clan article I feel like I've been caught between some people's personal war. Especially since I've received death threats in relation to my edits! (they've since been deleted but I can point you to the relevant history page if you don't believe me.) That strikes me as a bit extreme, don't you think?

I don't know any of you but as a fellow explorer I have always felt a certain admiration for the Cave Clan and I wanted to write the best, most neutral article possible. This means stating all the facts (even the controversial ones) and presenting both sides of every argument. If you could give me some links (scans of Il Draino? stuff from your website? newspaper articles?) to support what you're saying I'll be more than happy to work it into the article.

Thanks! -- hibou 19:45, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi

I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment.

The thing is if I give you what you want then I am just continuing the argument with this person.

The fact that they gave you death threats is really really bad form (I presume you meant you got death threats from "them" ?)

I can scan some stuff for you easily, but my point is that there are hundreds of things the Clan has written/spoken about over the last 20 years and a hell of a lot of them are not really relevant to what the actual Clan is.

I'll get back to you when I get the chance.

If these threats get worse maybe I can help you find out who it is as there are people in the Clan that have huge databases of people's iPs... although I'd say they'd use a Net Cafe or something. Stay well,

Cheers,
