Hi Trey, >Steve, if you can take anything I have ever said about diving and show >me where I am wrong, I will stand corrected, but you can not do it. There'a single factor running through every single reply countering my comments and that is you all seem to think I have or am criticising your diving. Every single one of you have your bull-heads firmly in place and have totally refused to read what I've written. Show me where I've criticised *anybody's* diving? Your diving may or may not be describable as a significant technical achievement, it matters not one jot to me to be perfectly honest. Its not about individuals. Its your [collective] social skills that, if I may be so bold, I am criticising. They're non-existent. Your occasional macho posturing, touting your personal so called technical achievements, doesn't give you the right to totally denigrate the opinions of those people [on this list] who even so much as misunderstand one of your sermons. The painful thing is that you're apparently too bigoted to realise the irreparable damage you're doing to what you cherish most; your public persona and the DIR approach to diving. I recently posted a comment that DIR as a system is dead in the water; it'll be a slow lingering death, but its inevitable. Its those who've done do much to develop the system that have also relegated it to a minority interest because of the bellicose posturing. The stock reply, when the belligerence is criticised is to say "We've tried 'nice' " . Look back two years, three years, to the approach that was taken then... the same anger and vehemence. Now take a look to see what's changed, who's taking notice? No-one, absolutely no-one... at least not outside those enquiring individuals who brave the wrath of the jingoism in this list. >The fact is I have documented my stuff in coutless articles and videos, >what have you dcne lately? Oh, please do you really think this pompous posturing cuts any ice? I don't know you from Adam, don't give a jot about your previous articles and videos... the only thing I will do is listen if there's something worth listening to... the only "publication's" of yours I have access to are those in this list and, despite the achievements you allude to in life, your signal to noise ratio in here is very very low... Ask yourself this question, if your videos and articles were as full of the invective you frequently use on this list would they have been anywhere near as successful?? A resounding "NO" would be the only answer you could give. >How is that for "invective" - are you "bullied" now? Can you go ahead >and unsubscribe in peace? :) Certainly not, I'm actually grateful that you've seemingly taken a little time to reply (and I'm not being sarcastic here). -- Steve... -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
