Basically just about any equipment or agency topic on the board can result in a flame war. How carefully crafted these wars are depends on the skill of the poster. Some can be very educational, and worth reading.
[/B][/I]This is now an ultra friendly forum. You can ask anything within reason (no trolls) and not fear people jumping all over you! EVERYONE who deigns to answer within this forum, must couch their answers with friendliness and respect! That's right. We even have some special hosts (not mods) whose job is to KEEP things on topic and nice.
That surely is right!! I poorly worded a question about GUE-Fundamental vs. cavern course, and was quickly flammed by multiple posters, and called a troll http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/basic-scuba-discussions/240820-why-bother-gue-fundamentals.html. It quickly put out any interest I ever had about taking GUE-F or associating with the technical side of diving. Not to say I don't respect their teachings or philosophies. On hind sight, it was poorly worded. But I did not expect to step on so many toes.
Hopefully, this new format will make it easier to ask questions without being caught in the middle of some preexisting battle on SB.
