I'm totally amazed at how long this thread has become. Wow!
I don't know. I think the people who have responded negatively to me online are the same people who would respond negatively to me in person.
The thing is, people who are less than polite on-line sometimes restrict themselves to polite behavior in person. But if they're impolite on-line, then that's who they are, and I'd like to know about it so that I'll know to stay away from them.
Actually, I used to think this, but after what happened last week I'm thinking otherwise. There I was, thinking I was getting along with the other people on the boat, I got into a disagreement with the captain of the boat, and there I was, ignored for the rest of the trip. It was an awful experience, and it was not on-line at all.
Also, I've been impressed with the number of people who have seen my side of all this. Granted they're in the minority, but at least there are some here on SB who think I did exactly what I should have done in the situation.
I don't know. This whole thing is weird. I'm a well loved and well respected member of my community. It's just when interacting with scuba divers that I have problems.
Thank-you.
Perhaps scuba diving is the only situation where the social hierarchy you're accustomed to is upset? That captain has quite a lot of respect for you if he's your patient. We've covered that already (and everything else, I think), but that statement bolsters the theory a bit, I think.I don't know. This whole thing is weird.

No. Half of most everything is below the median.Half of everything on this planet is below average.
You, apparently. Is that the third or fourth time you've brought it up? Let it go.There are some here that had to make it a point to try to make me a pariah because I used the word douchebag. Who cares?

Yeah, right up to the point where someone need a doctor ^^That's because on a boat in the ocean you're not A Doctor, you're just another guy on The Captain's boat.

Regardless, what youre saying is that to be a well respected person you need to be a doctor or a boat captain?
