I give up (You losers)

I have never met such a group of head in the sand individuals. No I'm not a
journalist, I'm not a troll but I am genuinely concerned. Thank you ladies
and gentlemen you have proved once again that you live your lives in an
unreal world.

What is head in the sand about actually reading the statistics?

ROTFL
Wonderful.
You come here and start banging off about safety issues.

Look.

We do the diving. A lot of us do quite technical diving
which features heavily in the fatalities lists so we care
about this subject and we read about it and think about it.
We modify the way we dive to try and stay off that list.

And we have our "head in the sand" ?

Get real.

No you are not, because you refuse to consider the FACTS. You don't want to
know the truth, you don't like it when people tell you that you are so
wrong.

Well, if that's your view and you think that we're a bunch of loosers then
why bother? Just do us all a favour and fuck off somewhere else.

I, and others on this group, have lost friends to diving incidents. They
genuinely concern us, we read them and we try to learn from them. We do not
need tossers like you trying to twist reality into your own warped little
view and smearing the memory of our friends.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. In my day we had real
trolls.

From someone living in the unreal world, if you want to know about the
causes of most diving incidents, take a look at the HSE research paper on
the subject here:

http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/crr_p...7/crr97140.pdf

It appears to be a quality and robust statistical look at the causes of
1000 diving incidents. It makes for interesting reading, and gives a good
indication of where dive planning can be tightened up.

Is your unreal work full of PADI divers for you to point the finger at
because they were trained by PADI?

In other news transmission from Cassini-Huygens is lost as it's struck
by a fast moving rattle.

No, *that* is an extremely interesting document.
