This is like 3 or 4 pages now where nobody was pissed off. This could be a record in the making....

the terminology only leads to misunderstandings and conflict in your mind. its very clear in my mind. i'm doing it right. whatever you think i think you're doing is your own problem. fix it yourself, you don't need my help.

I think you missed my point. I didn't say I don't understand or that I have any gripe with DIR. I was only saying that people who aren't initiated in the DIR philosophy could get the (usually mistaken) impression that the name implies a feeling of superiority. I was only trying to explain why there are misunderstandings between the two schools of thought, and you seem to take it as some sort of attack, which was never implied in any way.

Let's not forget that this is the new divers' forum and this thread began with a question from a new member who wanted to know why the issue is controversial. I was only giving my two cents worth on why this might be, not criticizing or espousing either side.

Hey, does anyone know the origin of the term "stroke"?

I suspect you are right.

Interesting, at least in surgeons, arrogance is almost always an indication of underlying insecurity . . .
