>Maybe I should not have said idiots. How about blithering
morons.<

I have been collecting the accident and fatality reports for years
(there is a good reason for this, and it has nothing to do with
morbid curiosity). More often then not when a diver dies,
at least one member of our group will insult the victim in
a follow up post.
Could it be to distance themselves from the accident?
Is it to say, this would never happen to me because
I'm not that stupid, or I'm not a moron, and therefore
the sport is safe?
Would be interested in hearing what the original poster has to
say about why he chose the words that he did, knowing
full well that friends and family members of the dead
diver may one day read his words and be deeply hurt
by them.
