Subject: Re: Legalities of purging someone
Idiot - I have sufficient training to do this, Bill Mee is a biomedical
engineer, not some bus driving ambulance monkey, and you do not know
jack shit about anything.

You have no business commenting on my diving, even using the word
"brilliant" because again you have no clue what I do and whether it is
"brilliant" or not. In fact, just you saying that I take as a negative
since you have been so bad on everything else.

I do not give a whup what paramedics say publicly, in our organization
they better do it our way, and our way is what works and bullshit is
what does not work. I also do not care what rules apply to these guys,
we make the rules in our game.

Bill Mee explained it to your stupid ass, now get over it. Nobody is
intersted in your girl scout mentality, they are interseted in what the
best in the world do and how they deal with it - you are not one of
those.
