Scuba Forum / General / July 2006Lee Bell the nazi swimmer
He don't like it when you don't go to an instructor and learn there. If you don't he might show up at your house! > He don't like it when you don't go to an instructor and learn there. > If you don't he might show up at your house! Nawh, he's just trying to keep you from drowning yourself... Although there are probably quite a few of us who taught ourselves how to dive without any assistance back in the old days, I highly suspect that we all knew how to swim at the time and were very comfortable in the water before we attempted it... Attempting to teach oneself how to swim in an unsupervised manner is not exactly survival oriented... But that's OK, Darwin will protect you... >> He don't like it when you don't go to an instructor and learn there. >> If you don't he might show up at your house! [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >swim in an unsupervised manner is not exactly survival oriented... But >that's OK, Darwin will protect you... Ok I just don't like when people reply after every line, in kind of a snippy rude way. I'd never try learning alone. I'm always in there with somebody. My father's a great swimmer and can float and everything. He started as a child as I did also. The only difference being he succeeded and I didn't. I really think it's genetic because my mother's afraid of being in 2 ft of water, lol. I already succeeded floating on my back after not believeing I could do it, so now I believe I can float other ways, and am interested in learning those ways. > Ok I just don't like when people reply after every line, in kind of a > snippy rude way. Responding inline to the points that you make is considered good style on USENET... Snipping out the irrelevent text is also considered good style... > I'd never try learning alone. I'm always in there > with somebody. Are they someone who can rescue you if you screw up? If all they can do is call 911, the odds are, you're screwed... > I already succeeded floating on my back after not believeing > I could do it, so now I believe I can float other ways, and am > interested in learning those ways. As long as it's not the "dead man's float", eh? >> Ok I just don't like when people reply after every line, in kind of a >> snippy rude way. > >Responding inline to the points that you make is considered good style >on USENET... Snipping out the irrelevent text is also considered good >style... Maybe if you're not being an a.s about it, but re-read how he responded. Would you like someone to say "you figure incorrectly". He's an a.shole. He may be your friend that's why it doesn't seem like anything to you, but it's annoying when someone answers like a twat like that, and it's rude. >> I'd never try learning alone. I'm always in there >> with somebody. > >Are they someone who can rescue you if you screw up? If all they can >do is call 911, the odds are, you're screwed... Yes I have people who have won medals for rescuing people from pools so don't worry about that. Go bust someone else's balls. >> I already succeeded floating on my back after not believeing >> I could do it, so now I believe I can float other ways, and am >> interested in learning those ways. > >As long as it's not the "dead man's float", eh? You should stop worrying about me, and start worrying about being a Nazi swimmer. <snip> > You should stop worrying about me, and start worrying about being a > Nazi swimmer. If he was a Nazi swimmer, why should HE worry about it? >Snipping out the irrelevent text is also considered good >style... Yeah, you right! >>He don't like it when you don't go to an instructor and learn there. >>If you don't he might show up at your house!
