Terry:
Are you upset because he called you a Zealot?
American Heritage Dictionary (2nd Coll. Ed.):
ZEALOT - n. A zealous person, esp. one who is fanatically devoted to a cause.
ZEALOUS - adj. Filled with or motivated by zeal; ardent.
ZEAL - n. Enthusiastic and diligent devotion, as to a cause, ideal, or goal; ardor.
Does that not describe you (as well as a few others)? Now call me crazy, but it seems like there are a LOT of "zealots" posting around here.
I mean, look at your post. You're trying to "criminalize" Chris' actions; you're demanding admissions of such heinous crimes as "div(ing) in a dangerous way", "div(ing) deep on air", "div(ing) without wings" and the capital crime of "div(ing) solo".
What is up with that?
What is up with comparing his actions to drunk driving, illicit drug use and motor vehicle violations?
I mean, insinuation and innuendo are also libelous actions.
In cyberspace, statements don't always come off the way they are intended to. Maybe we should all step back a pace or two.
