I agree that this is more serious. However, the kind of attitude on this list does not prevent deaths. In fact, a lot of people simply refust to listen to any DIR talk because they've been exposed to the attitude. I argue a lot, but I also think that 99% of the DIR stuff is right on, and am quick to defend it. Invariably the comment is that I'm a DIR zealot (which I'm not by any stretch of the imagination). Most people don't want to be told "I know what's right, you are wrong, shut up and listen" and when faced with that attitude they simply will refuse to listen to anything else that comes from that source, or anyone they associate with it. Even if you're really nice about it. You can be as right as you want, if your delivery is awful, people won't listen. Actually I'm sure that in real life none of the people who post here are as caustic as they are on this list. The internet seems to bring this out for some reason. I just hate to see people refuse sound advice because they don't want to change their religion to DIR. Cheers.
