Good day Mr. Hardy. I trust you and your associate Mr. Laurel had a wonderful weekend. (It always helps to exchange pleasantries when encountering the Village Idiot.) Your post exudes anger. Could it be that you lash out at the world to cover your inadequacies? I understand your daddy was quite an accomplished military man with an impressive track record. I also gather that you just can't seem to "measure up". It must be difficult having an accomplished father and be viewed a dismal failure. Poor little Ollie. He just can't seem to do anything right and can't stand the thought that his father wishes he went bowling the night he was conceived. In your quest for acceptance, you confuse techdiving with a competitive sport and use it as a venue to be a man in your fathers eyes. Hence your combative approach. Sadly, you cannot win, even in a non competitive sport. You are the consumate loser. "I can't reach my valves so I quit". Oddly enough, the arrogance of your post is only surpassed by its' stupidity. Do you really think that a punk like you can bully me into retreat? That is your style. Duck the question with childish name calling, pound your chest and turn everything into a battle over some non related topic. Won't work here pal. The reason you don't know me is because of something you should have figured by now. I strictly adhere to "Rule No. 1", something I have heard you scream at others. Your choice to exercise "Rule No. 2" is a wise one because like everything else in your life, you are unable to do it. While I am at it you boast: "....you don't do the number of dives JT does and survive out of sheer chance. JT has a track record of planning, executing and surviving hundreds of dives of all depths in all conditions." Survival should never be in doubt because not surviving is an unacceptable option. You guys seem to think that if you do something stupid and survive it is OK and a valid option. You can go over Niagara Falls in a barrel and survive. Your survival doesn't make it any less stupid. You also claim: "...unlike your pussy 100' vis 10min boat ride florida dives...yap, yap, yap, blah, blah, blah..." Again you go off with the chest beating. Clear water will kill you just as dead as murky water. FYI, diving is supposed to be an enjoyable pastime, not an attempt to cheat the grim reaper so you can brag. The methods we employ will work in any water, be it warm, cold, clear or cloudy. The goal should be to do an enjoyable dive and accomplish something. It should not be an exercise in terror so you can boast surviving. For example, tying into The Doria solo is patently stupid. It isn't a question of whether or not you can do it, anyone on the trip should be capable of doing it. It is just a dumb thing to do. You may appear the hero to the uninitiated, but to anyone that knows the game, you look like a boob. Ollie, it is my intention to become the conscience of both yourself and Stanley. Every time you put out some form of stupidity I will be there to question it. My goal is to improve the sport by showing stupidity for what it is and share anything I may have learned with those whom you seek to keep in the dark. Thus far neither of you have answered one question about anything I have asked. The reason is because you can't without sounding like complete and utter fools and anyone following this thread will see that, ergo mission accomplished. Best regards.
