Whining about Whining

[scubasean]

So...just a question (perhaps I should make it into a poll...). Has the overall degree of whining increased lately or what?

Does every single moderator comment or change have to be accompanied by a chorus of "why did he do that to me" or "yeah...why did he do that"?

Does the summertime use of sunscreen suddenly make people skin thinner? Does every "criticism" or "comment" on someone's choice suddenly have to be seen and responded to as if it was a personal attack on integrity, character and family of origin?

Folks...sometimes it's alright to be told that the piece of gear you bought is crap. Sometimes it's alright to find out that the training you received was sub-standard. Sometimes it's alright to have your skills questioned. Sometimes it's alright to have someone tell you that you shouldn't be doing what you are doing.

Reading through some of the longer threads of late, it seems a great many have forgotten that education and debate is good. Sometimes you may not like the answers you get but it doesn't mean that you are being personally attacked.

So remember the first thing you were taught: Stop...Breathe...Think...Post...

So...Sean...what's your point? You not bored at the office too? (I checked...you didn't even vote...come-on...if you are going to be apathetic...do it with some pizazz...you know...apathy with heart!)

I knew it! Look at the results - it's all DIR's and Genesis's fault!

Was there really ever any doubt? We all know it always ends up back where we started...

Hey...how about this for a thought...Scubaboard Survivor. Everyday, we vote someone off the board (or confine them to the meet/greet forum)...last one here out of 20,000 plus can argue with themselves all day!

So James...get working on the poll choices...it might take you a while...

Like paradise island send 13 people, 6 DIR's and 6 non-DIR's and 1 solo diver to an island, let them dive together by picking their partner, the one without a partner has to dive solo. Then at night give them all the alcohol they want and let them debate each other 'till the sun comes up.

The DIR divers would have to abstain or risk having their C-cards yanked...

OK, now I'm whining. The Polls are really stupid. I don't much care what opinions are expressed by those who feel the need to vote in the polls. I would not have ever even clicked on this thread had it started out as a poll.

You should get Andy Rooney from "60 Minutes" to be guest moderator on this forum. The grouchy old b@st@rd doesn't like anything.
