Only pussies quit. Men stand up, and either agree, or agree to disagree and get on with life.

Don't be a pussy.

Perhaps Mike was too agressive. But if he hadn't questioned CD's Sra Kreow dive, we probably would never have learned the truth. The same thing about these "certification problems".

Something's seriously wrong here... I find myself would I take a course with CV? I probably wouldn't because although probably a very compentent diver and instructor he now has an aura of dishonesty. Is it a well deserved aura? Unless CV is able to prove that he was in the 240-ish range (what's the retention time for a VR3?) he'll be branded as a liar... Bummer to see a true explorer loose his hero status.

I'll call BS on that one.

You may well have been a victim of some spat (I don't know one way or the other), but your desire to harbor and nurse the offense is not doing you or anyone here any good. It's your choice, not your age, that's keeping old wounds fresh.

Ive been thinking about this whole subject long and hard (when I accidently slammed my car into the back of a stationary car last night I was thinking about this

) It doesnt pay to drive when your minds elsewhere :-( nobody was hurt thank god.

Regardless of what is or isnt true, regardless of the facts in this case there can be no doubt that I havent handled this whole thing in the right way, rather Ive been quite childish in my interaction. Now I can do as I mentioned earlier -the easy thing - and b_gger off in order to avoid the temptation to act like a big kid again and get involded with this kind of nonsense or I can stick around and challenge myself to grow up a bit accept what I see as peoples faults except wrongs real and percieved that have or havent been commited and move on (get a life as someone put it) I think its called being an adult

Well heck I do like a challenge so if members here dont mind thats what Id like to do.

So Id like to say Cedric I forgive you for what youve done/said in the past (I know you may disagree that you did anything and im not saying this as an attack but I need to say these words) I dont care anymore what you do or didnt do. Henceforth I will get off your back. I wont add you to my ignore list as that would be cheating. I wish you no ill. I will keep out of your business- It is afterall none of mine.

I dont care anymore about who did what who said what or any of that stuff. Its all in the past nobody died so its not really important. I want to move on.

UW hit the nail on the head when he said I choose to feel this way. Well now I choose Not to feel this way. And I think (if I can pull it off

) Ill be happier. I know as Im an old dog its not going to be easy and there will be times when Ill be chomping at the bit to jump in headfirst - but I will try my very upmost not to - this is my personal challenge to myself.

I hope everyone is ok with that and I beg your indulgence - if nothing else at least we gave you guys a bit of entertainment for a few days

Now does anyone know a good car body repair guy? :-(

My Lexus looks fine - but the other guys car........

Now whos got any popcorn left?

(in case theres any doubt - this post is about how I gave the message not the message I gave)

Mike,

.. just so long as you continue NOT to suffer fools gladly.... every formum needs a BS alarm and also someone to point out the Emperor's new clothes.

Hell.. if I kept my big mouth shut more often perhaps I would still have a staff job and wouldn't be a consultant!!

Wow, that post was like a little soap opera! Awesome!

Really, I've found that there are a few real A-holes on Rebreather World (and I'm not taking sides on this CV vs. DRM issue), but so what, it is a representative sample of the "real world".

I just chuckle to myself and move on.

Aloha,
Charlie

G'donya Mike, you can see lots better from a vantage point on "the high road" than when you are slogging around in the mud.
