Alternative signaling methods

That was my bad. I didn't check reports when I split it and Lives4Sharks didn't realize I'd already done that since I didn't update the report. But she's right, the horse is pretty well dead and there's another thread on the subject now as well.

Thanks for the explanation Cave Diver. It was starting to look like Moderator dog-piling! Now it's clear it was just an honest misunderstanding.

Wow! I'm not shocked that this was split off from the original. But I've read a ton of posts from live4sharks and never knew she was a she!

This was the big clue for me.

Well, that and meeting her at Vortoberfest

Aftershock109, glad to hear the good news. Keep at it in a prudent matter and it will work out ok I bet.

Sorry, I have been off line for a few days. I see y'all are still at it. I was thinking of your claim that this Chippy you referenced "has found more than a few of your ideas, poor" is something you think you have seen? How many? Remember about what? Or is this claim something you heard, from Chippy perhaps...?
I responded to your snippy post to me. I have been on this board for three years. I have seen many of your posts. Chip has taken issue to those where you have given advice that is unsound. I don't have to be told anything by anyone. And your catty attempts at being insulting by changing his name or calling him middle school playground insults, is just making you look like an ass.

I remember some of the gang going on about my Testing thread about various ways to display pics on the board here. I was working on a how-to thread to be posted later, but didn't like all the guano that was added to it pointlessly so edited my info out rather than try to deal with the crap. It was deleted and I received a PM to notify when such happened again with that gang, but the Mods have enough other things to deal with so I often don't. It is funny how that gang objects to the use of the Report button, tho.

Ah there was my Non-diving thread about the perils of flip-flops. Yeah, they let me have it on that one. I think I will stick with the warnings from foot specialists but let it go otherwise.

Oh yeah, that gang has jumped me for other ideas, but not for anything important. It's just something they do, jump on me, and hope that others will join in. I do wonder about what background work goes into these childish assaults and how they have their gang alerts set up, but not much.

You know, that just might be a great idea if you did present good info, rather than crap.

Honey? You're right. I should not use my typical Georgia-girl term for any man, woman, or child to such a crotchety fart. I rescind the Honey.

Thank you. One of the gang did ridicule those suggestions, but I feel they are good ones, and the only suggestions I actually made.
Nope. You made the last piece of advice the trash bag. I really don't care if some boat captain suggested it to you. You are supposed to use your brain before you buy into whatever half assed idea a person spews. You should consider it and reject it, if it is bad. Not defend it tooth and nail and then crybaby when people all seem to agree against you.

Thank you again for the only rational comment against the idea yet. Truthfully, I got the extra idea from a seasoned captain and have carried them, but never practiced with them. I will now stop mentioning them at all at least until I give them a try next time I do practice dives in New Mexico. As I said, I am all for corrective posts; I just have no patience for childish caca that usually comes when the gang piles on one - like the pacifier image above, etc.
Don, sometimes a joke is just that. The pacifier came up because you have little hissy fits and don't have adult conversation. Things would go much better for you if you just stopped, listened, reflected, and then responded rationally. If you are wrong, man up and admit it. I respect that.

I don't know you. I get many faceless Usernames confused really, but I did not mean to insult you personally. I get defensive when the gang and friends post against me without rational information, but then I can't read minds so I can't tell the difference between gang postings others until you post the info like you did.All you had to do was ask for more or further reasoning. Chip will be glad to expand and talk reason, if you didn't get so defensive and pouty towards him. Your the one that asked if the readers knew your stalker in this thread. You started it rolling right there.

Oh that one. Glad he was nice to you, whatever his motive. I don't hate him; just don't care for the caustic guano he throws my way. Whatever his motive? Your veiled insults aren't. His motives? Have you seen pictures of his lady? She is unbelievably beautiful, kind, and extremely intelligent. She has to be with the job that she does. She welcomed me too. So, you can stop trying to cast petty aspersions about his character and thus, mine. They just don't wash well. Yes, he is caustic. But unfortunately for you, he is most often right on target.

Like I'd trust any of y'all on that?

If you want a pound of flesh tho, sorry - not happening. It's pretty clear that you and your gang like his caustic jokes at my expense and I guess y'all will continue to joke and laugh at my expense in private as well. Whatever.

You call me childish, but I find it reassuring that I never think of your gang other than when I am dealing with with gang guano, certainly don't spend time talking about y'all. So keep telling each other how funny you are criticizing others, how great y'all are as a team, as there is nothing I can do about the abuse - and those who can seem not to.

This split thread has gone on and on, when all was needed was one rational post explaining why the idea was bad. I guess y'all win. :medal:

Just one?

• You're dragging trash into the sea that could very well get away from you and end up harming marine life.
  
• White is a terrible color for a surface marker as it blends in with whitecaps.
  
• There are numerous devices far more suitable for use as surface markers.
  
• People will laugh at you.

Shall I continue? Perhaps if I punctuate the above with 97 smileys it will sink in.

DebbyDiver is amused. I bet the entire "circle of friends" is. Enjoy your laughs.
