"uh... where in the context of ALL the above posts and responses does THAT fit? may want to READ before you speak. No one actually suggested Scuba police, they just point out how useless and rediculous the concept is."
John, John, John,
My post agreed with everything written suggesting "no scuba police."
The "P.S." in my post was clearly directed at anyone suggesting the criminalization of bad scuba practices (i.e. promoting the concept of scuba police). You obviously didn't read this carefully enough to realize it supported your own position. Instead, you jumped to irrational contention . . . . kinda like arguing with yourself in the mirror.
If agreeing with you provokes such hostility then I'd hate to see your response towards someone who disagrees with you.
I stand by my recommendation that those considering the promotion of scuba police think before they speak. In fact, it has become apparent that perhaps a wider range of humans needs to practice this concept.
