Him and I had a little chat and at first he came off like a condesending @sshole. I think he was coming around but flapped his yap to another mod so he got the boot.

I don't care if you're Orville Wright - you come on here with an attitude thinking you're a know it all and cannot present your arguments with some tact, you're gone.

I'll be the first to admit I don't know HALF as much as most of you "old-timers"; I am definitely interested in WWII aviation, but I don't have nearly as many resources and/or references as you guys. I try and keep my mouth shut unless I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.

SoD, you've never been a problem, actually quite the opposite.

I have gone into hiding the last two-three days due to being ill - meds crap again...........

hoping this makes sense , the individual said according to an article that the P-38M was operational, that was not the prob at all but what got him banned forthwith was his up your Ass comment he made to me. that showed all of 0 maturity and tact, so he fell on his face and is out of here. I would hope that most of you would be smart enough not to engage in this type of behaviour, but think first before making a written action and maybe even write a private

right now I really don't feel like much talking further as energies are below 25 % at the moment.

Dan got your private but have not viewed your vid, will in short time when I am up to it

best to all

There is really no problem putting something out there that you have heard or read about, but you also have to be prepared to hear that what you have been told or read is wrong. A little humble pie is a good thing.

I had heard that the P-38 was called The Fork Tailed Devil by the Germans while working at a WWII aviation museum. Unfortunately, even museums get tied up in allied propaganda and I was corrected on the forum. No harm no foul. I had been here all of about a month at that time, and didn't cop and attitude about it. I think there was a point where Dan and I disagreed about something, and I survived that.

Just be cool and be respectful and you'll be fine. You've been doing that SoD.
