Don, they lied to the families, so of course they got
offended. Rob Palmer promised his wife prior to going
to the TDI fest in Egypt that he would not participate
in any deep air bullshit, so when he died they all
lied to her and everyone else, trying to say he had a
"heart attack", so when I said he was a "stupid fuck",
well they all got "offended" and cried their crocodile
tears. The fact is he was, by his own definition in
his own book, a "stupid fuck", and I merely reminded
his dead ass of that, and added that the beginning of
his demise in my humble opinion was getting involved
with Gilliam and TDI in the first place. That has been
a terminal mistake for many people, like the late Doug
Missavage ( dead  in TDi "deep air " course, whose
wife sued TDI and won big.

The difference between Missavage and Palmer is a fine
line - Palmer supposedly knew better and got "peer"
pressured into it by what are subhuman pieces of shit
in my opinion, Missavage got FUCKED.

To let any of this go by would be remiss on my part.

"Helium Diver" - you out there , buddy? Care to come
on down and let me kick your ass some more? Had enough
yet, all you TDIi assholes? I can go on and one. Make
my day and keep it up. You all lose again, and I win
again - remmber that. Remmber how badly I have been
kicking your fat slob's ass.
