Have you ever noticed that old doctors are generally nicer than young ones?
I always assumed the reason was their ex got remarried!

... more like flipping off everyone who drives an SUV because someone in a SUV cut him off. The premise of the OP is a pretty broad brush ...

Actually, I don't think he did. Here's what he wrote in his opening post:The original seemed fair enough . . .
So, how many instructors must one taste to come to the conclusion that all of them are bitter?
There seems to be hostility toward incompetence, a sort of arrogance, among many of the posters here. Most of the instructors on this forum are as nice as could be, but many seem to have a certain resentment or hostility, for some reason.
... mostly it comes from the internet. I've yet to meet an instructor in person who feels that way ...

Your point, I suppose, being that posts which are not mean are mis-interpreted as mean by the reader?
Nah, my point being that thin skin and a petulant whine is tiresome - and probably deserving of the occasional slight. Sometimes the old adage applies: newbies should be seen (at the dive site) and not heard (on the board.) Nobody doesn't want you to be part of the community but 24 dives means you don't have much to contribute beyond noise. Witness this thread. Remember, the first step to learning is to close your mouth and open your mind. The second step is to use the search function.

Polite reminder:
OP brilliantly disingenuous.
