Your problem has been your poor choice of wording.
You didn't bring up Backlund until several posts after mentioning you wanted to see Cervenka gone and Jones back in.
Regardless, I've already mentioned that with Backlund back, it just provides depth and that in no way means Cervenka needs to leave the lineup.
That's fine in and of itself, but was not what you said at first.
Jones diving was an aside to that argument. I mentioned it's one of several charactersitics (the attitude, borderline skills to stick in the NHL, lack of hitting/blocking shots/fighting) that you think makes him a heart and soul player.
You didn't like that your poor logic was getting pointed out so you zero'd in on the diving thinking that if you refuted it, it would some how deflect from the poor points you were trying to make.
Again, there aren't stats on diving. But I've seen him dive several times and this has been widely discussed on this forum. You seem to be saying you haven't seen him dive once, but now a diving penalty has been brought up. That's an instance for you right there. Beyond that, I have no interest in looking up information for two posters who are just being stubborn.
Blair Jones has dove several times in his limited times with the Flames. I'm not even sure why this is such a sore spot for you two. It's really not a big deal and has little to do with what was being discussed. But it's happened whether you want to admit it or not.
