J-Tek,

You really live in your own world, don=B9t you?

You=B9re like a toothless drunk who takes a swing at somebody, passes out,
then wakes up assuming he won the fight.

Reading about your thoughts of anger at your dive buddies who called a dive
is revealing. I guess =B3anyone can call a dive at any time for any reason,=B2
doesn=B9t apply to you.

Anyone can call someone a =B3novice=B2 or that they don=B9t do =B3real dives=B2
. . .
or an idiot, for that matter. It doesn=B9t make it true =8B on either side. But
you go a step further, you offer proof . . . of your _own_ idiocy. You=B9re
the poster child for the maxim often attributed to Lincoln,  "Better to kee=
p
your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all
doubt."

And once your mouth is opened, when challenged, instead of arguing the
point, you get personal, you try (unsuccessfully) to engage in character
assassination. I think you made a decision somewhere along the line to
imitate George, but you left out all the useful info, the actual knowledge
he passes on. Instead of engaging intelligently, you attack. The attacks ar=
e
toothless, a few carefully edited links and devoid of any relevant facts or
actual proof, but it=B9s apparently all you have to offer.

You sound just like a dive-boat-stud. Every boat has one (or more), holding
forth over the SCUBA hoi polloi. Your tongue wagging, while you stand, arms
folded at the dive-ladder, running smack on everyone you don=B9t like, true o=
r
not and giving out lame and macho advice in between the insults.

I didn=B9t stop commenting previously because you =B3exposed=B2 anything about
myself or Dean or George or anyone else. You have just not proven to be
worthy of engaging seriously -- it became obvious that you were just anothe=
r
one of those, =B3Oh YEAH? So=B9s your sister!=B2 guys. No real argument, just
response after response after response. I have no problem taking someone
with a real argument on, but you=B9re just BORING.

 . . . just like that drunk swinging wildly at his imagined adversary on th=
e
street corner, I notice it, shake my head, mutter something like, =B3pathetic=
=B2
to Dean or anyone passing by and move on.
