Is this a take-off on another WatsonFellow opinion piece ? If so, please link so that we may share the joke.
If not, I must wonder at the motivation behind the current feud. I have seen flame wars erupt on pre-existing threads, but I was not aware that one could start a thread for the sole purpose of making fun of the foibles of a fellow FReeper.
Of course, neither you nor I have ANY ridiculous traits, so we're safe. (Whew, that's a relief!)
Now my good fellow, let me offer you a little analogy as to what we are doing here. Simply put, if the object of diving is to get into the water quickly, then a quick jump into old briney would suffice. That would be a flame. Flaming is so ....well, declasé. But to get into the water quickly with style and grace with little ripple of the water, that is olympic diving. That is the essence of good form that is being practiced here. One must still get one's point across, but if done without syle and grace, it simply won't do old thing.
