Reading between the lines, I get the impression that it's not DIR that Bottle Maker is 'anti' but the personalities that he's encountered so far. DIR has a hell of a lot to offer but unfortunately it does tend to engender a sense of misplaced elitism in a sad few - it's these individuals that unfortunately give DIR a bad name...

As others have said, perhaps Bottlemaker should meet up with some of the more 'human' members of the DIR fraternity - the Chimps, for example - and let them give him an insight into what it's all about...
