<font color='#0000FF'>Andy, I am a friendly person but I will not be told to stop using a word just because you don't like it. It is not obscene but it is a word associated with DIR and that is what we are discussing on this forum, it is therefore inevitable that it will be used.
No, there is no sign of George on this forum, we do not just discuss topics within the YD environment but all aspects of diving. I find the DIR debate fascinating and admit that I enjoy reading the different attitudes of people towards it all, don't we all, just look at the viewing figures and I think that will answer that one. I want this forum to continue and I don't see any reason why we can't all play nicely, but there will undoubtedley be different views to yours, which you must accept along with the occasional use of that word.
I hope we will all have a good laugh about this in the near future but in the meantime it may take a while for the dust to settle.
Chill out dude, life's too short.
