Give it up. Any credibility you thought you had is totally evaporated.

Some of us give military service more weight than others, that's all Jafa. I didn't take Phil seriously before that statement, but others might have, so it's easy to see some emotions might be aroused.

I think I actually kind of understand what Phil could have meant, in that us amateur historians really do get a sense of having been there, through reading about experiences of others, and through the study of the backdrop and circumstances of these events.

BadAim, only said it in the respect that its been said enough times already and im shure if there is a message to get hes already got it, ive known phil for a couple of years now and he likes to lark arround so cut him some slack cos we were all that age once, ps he knows I hang arround here too and that I wouldnt stand for that crap either if he was trying to pass it off as real.

Said the 25-45 year old virgin typing furiously in his mother's basement, waiting for her to bring down his din-din and explain this foreign concept of sarcasm and humour to his Aspergers riddled mind.

Grow up and get a freaking life.

All of us who have socialized in our lives (gone to that big scary room on the other side of your front door) and talked to people knew it was a joke. I especially knew that phillip was joking about being a BOB pilot since I was actually there in 1940 and I don't remember him.

p.s. I'm Douglas bader!

It was quite clearly an off the cuff quip with no basis in fact, how anybody could take it otherwise I just don't know.

I think that Phil is being sincere here, and wishes he gave some thought before making the post...when he first made the remark, I pictured him riding a tank with a general's rank, while the bliz...well, you know the rest

Yes, and as has been said before, the point I was attempting to make is that we may never actually be able to nail something 100% I believe in trying, but my point is that even people who served can be wrong and, similarly, correct too

In comparison to other posts on here from some members, I really can't see how i was so out of line. I just should have said that I was joking in my original post.
Similarly, I don't see how a sense of humour can take away any credibility that I have. At the end of the day, one comment doesn't make me irrational; at least in my opinion. I don't want to debate my intelligence, but I am by no means stupid. My comment was stupid though; but then we are all humans, and if you've never made a mistake in your life you are boring and, probably, extremely weird.

Anyway, back to SoW? If anyone has any issues with what I said PM me. I'm happy to chat. I wish I hadn't posted that comment now, but I am struggling to see how that can get in the way of my intelligence or anything that I've done with regards to contribution (both for the forum and SoW).

Don't feel bad! These guys are just really ticked off and frustrated that their collection of 1:32 scale model WWII fighters are not raking in the chicks like they thought.

"But I have a BF-109G2 in winter camo! Why won't you go out with me!?!" Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. . . .

Once their moms powder their bottoms and put them to bed they'll settle down and forget your horribly offensive (sarcastic) post.
