As stated previously in this thread just because you don't like it doesn't make it a gimmick.
That would depend on what your personal opinion of a "gimmick" is to begin with. And from all the responses in this thread about all these various things, it's quite obvious that people have different opinions on what is a gimmick and what is not. I don't see a problem with this. I don't know why anyone else would.
Is the dive count in your profile accurate?
Sometimes it's hard for folks to take strong/absolute opinions and double-down snark seriously when they come from someone with fewer total dives lifetime than many folks in this thread have done last week.
Trust me, I've got lots of experience... in strong opinions and snark.
Yes, it's accurate! But if no one is taking me seriously, then why does anyone even care what I have to say to begin with? After all, I'm the new guy. What does it matter what I think? You have way more experience than I do. It shouldn't matter to you what my opinion is! It would be like Tiger Woods caring about what some high school kid has to say about how he played in golf tournament last week. Tiger Woods couldn't care less about that, LOL.
