Bad, but not really awful. Too much defensive values.

Awful opening. However, preempts are the one area of bidding where violations fly like mad. If my partner opened 2♦, and I bid 3NT, and 3NT was a ridiculous contract, and that dummy hit, I'd laugh and chalk up my set. Partner would probably mutter to any kibbitzer that I can't take a joke if I even reacted slightly.
I mean, sure. A sick bid. But, not remotely a partnership ender. You have to have a sense of humor with preempts. I mean, this is tacky as hell, and not even good reasoned nonsense, but how many BS preempts have y'all made in your day?

"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Long wait to be bumped back 
I either pass or open 1D depending on my mood. Reminds me of a hand tonight when I made the anti-field decision to open 3C third seat WvR on Qx xx Kxx AQJxxx. Worked out well when the opps played in their 6-1 diamond fit instead of their 5-4 spade fit (LHO had a 4261 and decided he couldnt double).
