You're assuming I am a recreational diver. I am not, though I am studying my ass off on PADIs website during my recently started certification course.
In real life, I do have 100% confidence in what I am doing. Mostly because I am good at what I do (Hockey and Lacrosse goalie), I am not holding myself with confidence on this forum because, well, how could I? Less than a day into posting, I had wronged someone, and instead of a slight nudging in the right direction, I was verbally attacked by many members.
You mention commmon sense and respect. I thought I was being respectful at the beginning, and some members here seem to think I was being rude. Whatever, that's not my problem if they percieve me as being rude. Especially since I can't really do anything to convince you over the internet.
I had not yet apologized because I was waiting for the strings of conversation in this thread to die down before apologizing. I had put myself in your shoes. I had looked through my posts to see what I had done that was disrespectful, or rude, but I did not come up with much. Maybe when I get old and start slowing down I'll see it differently, but right now I don't see what was disrespectful.
Unfortunately, despite the kindness received from some members, I feel that this is not the place for me. You were right. I don't fit in. Maybe I should try puff.com, I probably wont though.
This time, I'm actually leaving.
You should be proud of yourselves. Maybe your wives will make you a sammich.
I'm off to a hockey game, have fun with your forum.
Edit: I root for the CWS above any other baseball team.
