I would be more than glad to start listing a DIW
collection of horror stories, starting with some of
the body recovery dives that I had to do of people
doing some of the really stupid slathering bullshit
that you morons in the "tech" teaching community do
on a  regular basis , or some of the brilliant
moments in "doing it wrong" sessions that resulted
in death,  if any of you geniuses would like a
recap.

Where do you want to start? I love pounding idiots
into the dirt and salting it. What piece of stroke
gear would you like me to mutilate beyond
recognition to where nobody but Tommy from the Rock
Opera would buy it? Who would you like me to
embarrass completely and make an ass of ? I love it,
bring it on.

You have to go so far afield and stretch the
imagination to the breaking point to get anything
that you can even pretend is a black mark on our
methods and logic, and it is always such bullshit.
Come on out here and make asses of yourselves merely
by trying to explain what some of you do - it would
be better than comedy if it were not for the huge
pile of dead bodies
surrounding  the stupidity that you assholes are
defending.

Led by the OZ TDI faction, none of you pussies have
a working  set of balls between you and you have
proven it now, and not one of you morons can stand
up to me for ten seconds with facts , figures and
logic.
