mac,
I can only comment on what I can see. From what is posted I see no personal attack. Maybe there was something personal in the censored post.

"would it not be better to dive alone than not to dive at all?" I think no, but you were asking a question so I will let that one slide.

"there is no reason for a diver to be rescued by another diver" WRONG

"A diver should never become so narced that he needs the assistance of another diver to return to the surface." WRONG. Any number of things can happen to get a diver narced. There is no exact depth that every diver will become narced and a lot of the time divers do not recognize that they are narced.

"Why would you need a redundant air supply? Why would you use all of your air supply? Why would you get to a point when you need rescuing?" So you’re saying you don’t need a redundant air supply? of course you don’t need one, but then again I don’t need a spare tire on my car either, but I it met that I probably loose my life if I didn’t carry one, guess what? there would be a spare tire on my car. Unless i’m so good of a driver that I never run over objects that might flatten my tire or that properly maintained tires NEVER bursts.

"why would you need more than 2 arms or 2 legs, in fact 1 arm or 1 leg is enough for some divers!" Stupid comment. Not even worth explaining that one.

"The only reason a diver may need assistance is a medical emergency, heart attack or something. But that has nothing to do with diving practices," OR SOMETHING ??? that is EXACTLY our point is that things happen beyond our control and training and having someone with you will more times than not give a person a better chance of surviving it.

"You may feel more secure, but that’s a false sense of security." WRONG as I proven with many of my answers above.

"but your decision to dive with a buddy to share the experience is a social one, not a safety one." WRONG as I have proven with many of my answers above.

"if you have a medical emergency underwater 99% of buddies are not going to be able to help" WRONG I personally will not dive with a buddy if I don’t feel like they could handle a situation, medical or not.

"if you have all ready convinced yourself that your going to be narced before you dive, then your going to be narced." WRONG. What a ridiculous statement. So if I user your logic, I can convince myself that I wont get narced, then I wont? Woo Hoo.........down to the Titanic I go !!!

"ego has nothing to do with it, and sarcasm is a very poor argument." WRONG Call it ego, over-confidence, whatever. I think it has EVERYTHING to do with it. Sarcasm wasn’t meant as an argument. It was meant to highlight the absurdity of some of your opinion you are try to say are better than our ours.

"safe diving practices are never going to prevent some accidents" WRONG (partially). Safe diving practices will help prevent a ton (not all) of accidents and safe diving practices teach people how to help buddies DEAL with these accidents.

"If I loose consciousness I will have no chance with or without a buddy," WRONG. see my previous past about the Aquarium incident.

"No point talking here as the posts are been censored" WRONG. there is plenty of point to talk here. just try to teach or give advice that could be dangerous to other people. Do not condemn people for their opinion or personally attack people.

"Will people read back through the posts and tell me who was first to make a personal comment." I cannot speak for anyone other than me. I have made no attacking comment other than your asshole stinks........as does mine.

"are you planning on stripping your buddy of his gear and using it for yourself." his point being his buddy’s secondary regulator would a THIRD option to help get him to the surface in case of an emergency.

"Latitude I answered all the points you made but my post was censored. I will answer them again if you wish." I would like to read you responses, provided you responded in a non-threatening manner.

Tag. You’re it.
