In the last week, I've had three different people tell me that they were glad to have finally gotten to dive with me, because previously they were afraid to.
Afraid to? Afraid to dive with ME? Good heavens.
But now I'm beginning to understand why I keep offering to dive with new divers and nobody takes me up on it.
Would YOU dive with me? And if not, why not?
Hammerhead:And - as I've just found out - I can't even put you on ignore because you're a mod :depressed:
No. And I'll tell you why not.
Because of this thread.
I've often felt that SBers are far too polite, and the sycophantic replies to this self-serving post are good testament to that opinion.
What did you expect to get by way of an answer to such a leading question?
Somebody saying "well gosh, I'm afraid to dive with you because, well, you're DIR and I'm just a little stroke and erm, you're also a moderator on the world's biggest SCUBA internet forum and have like 20,000 posts on it and a following of, like 10,000 minions to praise your every word, and good God, I'm not worthy to even be in your presence, O mighty diving oracle..."?
Quite frankly, the faux-modest tone of your post reeks to me of egotism.
