John,

For the most part I have sat idly by and chosen to avoid you in the same way
as I avoid making eye contact with vagrants and the mentally unbalanced.
Unfortunately, your profane and incoherent liturgy of invective and
profanity has overwhelmed my otherwise tolerant disposition.  Add to this a
disturbing stream of personal insults directed at my close friends and
colleagues and you can begin to appreciate my displeasure with the likes of
your self.

Your most recent posting and another directed at Peter Clark are a prima
facie example of a personality in deep turmoil.  I went back and read and
reread your posting and can only say that you sound bitter and depressed.
Perhaps this is a consequence of the slackening of business during the off
diving season. Perhaps it is not.
..
None of this would make any difference in the slightest if you were simply
John Doe; however it is appalling to me that you are a so called “technical”
diving instructor empowered with the ability to potentially kill someone.
We have witnessed several instructional deaths and potential deaths during
the past year where the instructor’s personality, mental state and
intelligence quotient  possibly played a role in the tragedies. Your near
complete inability to comprehend even the trivially simple DIR system is
very disturbing.  The problem is compounded by your continued attempts to
reinterpret this system along with an argumentative, insulting and nasty
attitude

I am confident that my friends in the WKKP as well as many of the competent
people on this list would be pleased to politely debate you on the issues.
When you reward them with an irrational and antagonistic outburst you
dissuade most from any form of normal discussion.  Furthermore, you must not
confuse the occasional use of hyperbole with personal antagonism.

Why don’t attempt being pleasant for a change.

Regards,

Bill Mee
