As one who is decidedly NOT a proponent of DIR (but also not anti-DIR, a distinction some people have trouble making), I want to go on the record to say that for GLnSD to suggest that the gear had anything to do with Marta's hit is among the more inane and sensless things I've seen posted on this BBS.
Nitrogen doesn't know what gear you're wearing, what cert agency issued your card, or even what your sign-in number is. :)
To suggest otherwise indicates either a total lack of understanding of the physiology or just a desperate need to take a shot at DIR any chance you can.
Either way, it's pretty sad.
