I originally posted a comment, intended to be humorous, in response to 
george�s insulting response to a discussion on light bulbs. The post 
was implying that he must be a bit uptight (major understatement) to 
get so worked up over such a subject. He then sent me an insulting 
post and then attacked the same discussion, hitting a new low, with 
profanity and insults. I have seen a lot of this from him and have 
gotten tired of his offensive nonsense, so I made the point that he is an 
uptight, offensive, arrogant loudmouth. So far, everyone of his 
responses has only served to confirm this.
I should have expected this, since it�s common knowledge that such 
arrogance is a manifestation of extreme insecurity. This is 
understandable, considering that the other tech divers that he claims to 
associate with, get a lot of media attention in the dive mag�s, and no 
one pays attention to him.
George, I can�t say why those other divers *do* talk with you, perhaps 
they find you amusing. But I will do you a favor. If I ever hear of a 
dive magazine that is doing a write up on �diver ego�, I will submit 
your name. You would make a good case study.
Since this bout started, we have learned that he was so confused, that 
he was insulting the wrong  person, on the wrong subject.  (isn�t that 
how he would define a �stroke�?) It would seem that his only goal is to 
be offensive, rather than trying to contribute something intelligent to 
the list.
Someone made the point a while back, during his last public flame 
fest, that the �neighborhood� has gone down hill since he signed on. I 
agree.
I think it is ironic that he would be so insulting and critical towards 
others, considering that due to his grammatical errors, typographical 
errors, and offensive attitude, his Signal to Noise Ratio isn�t very 
good. I have been on this list for almost a year, and have read a lot of 
interesting and educational material, none of which was from george.

We have had discussions on this list before regarding what is 
acceptable content, like the one on advertising. I would like to see 
others opinions on the subject of  offensive, insulting post. It seems to 
me that they only degrade the list, by inhibiting others from 
contributing, because of concern for being insulted for asking �dumb�
questions, or giving input that george does not agree with. 
Anyone else, (who isn�t intimidated by george�s flames) want to 
comment on this?

As for me, I apologize if this thread had annoyed anyone, and  I will 
strive, in the future,  to keep the flames off-line.

goerge, your insulting post only serve to validate my point, Your 
insults are the invalid, unintelligent babblings of a weak mind. You 
have demonstrated yourself to be nothing more then an aquatic 
troglodyte. To put things in terms you *can* understand, I will
succumb for only a moment, to paraphrase from one of your flames on 
chris. �Stay home, with your log book in one hand, and your �you-
know-what� in the other, and enjoy yourself�
If you want you discuss this off line, I am more then willing. In fact, to 
help you from getting so confused in the future, I will type slow. If you 
have difficulty with the big words (more then four letters), get 
someone to help you with a dictionary.

Now please, go crawl back in the hole from which you came.
