Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Welcome to the Personal_Submersibles_Disc ussion
Jeremy,
I've got one more thing to say about this
thread and then I am done. I've wasted enough time on it
already. I'm replying to your email because it's quite obvious
it's aimed at me. I mean, why didn't you address me directly?
Jeffery was wrong the instant he waltzed on
to this site with his flippant, arrogant attitude. He didn't come to this
site humbly and kindly ask what anyone thought about his idea. He came
here with a smug, know-it-all attitude and that's what I really had a problem
with. If he would have come here with a respectful,"I've got an idea, what
do you guys think?" disposition, it would have been a totally different
story.
Jeremy, you want to talk about the
list being tarnished? Have you ever stopped to think why we hardly ever
hear from the heavy hitters in the sub world anymore? It's because
this site is becoming a joke. When you discuss half baked ideas seriously,
it cheapens the whole discussion forum. The guys who are serious
about their craft don't want to be associated. It's like a novelist who
doesn't want to have anything to do with a comic book. You all need to
open your eyes because THIS place is becoming the gossip chat
room!
I am a professional in the diving
industry and I keep in touch with a lot of those guys we USED to
hear from. The kind of guys we need, the kind that have built or
build subs and know what the hell they are talking about(Doc,Carsten,Herve, you
guys aside). When I told one of them I was seriously considering
unsuscribing from Psubs, he said the only reason he stays on board is
because "it's mostly like reading the funny papers". He reads it to get a
laugh. Is that what you want???
Jeffery didn't want to learn or be educated,
he had it all figured out and he was going to tell us a thing or two. Even
to the very end, he signs off with his arrogant comment about "may your
boxes remain forever closed" He was a lost cause from the git
go.
Just step back and look at the bigger
picture.
Ty

I for one would like to express my disappointment
in this forum. Instead of engaging someone and coaching them on the
pitfalls of subdesign, there are those who have ridiculed or treated ignorance
with disdain rather than education. We cannot educate those who leave
this list feeling humiliated. The behavior of some here has been such that the
reputation of this list is tarnished. I would bet that almost everyone
here has had an idea they thought revolutionary only to find out it has been
done or the physics won't work. I know for me it was disappointing. The
fact that a person came here and was laughed off the forum is in my opinion
inexcusable.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Crawford
