... threats and name calling... very sad and childish.
It would be so nice if people could just talk about the planes, present evidence, etc, and not start talking about the other posters. Do you think anyone really cares what you think of someone else? Do that in some other forum if you have to. This forum is about planes!!!
I agree with you, but it is hard to stay on that subject when you get likened to Goebbels for simply disagreeing with another person's take on the data and Kurfurst bluntly likened me to Goebbels on at least one occasion.
If we were to take Kurfurst's view of the Bf109 and Spitfire as being correct the Bf109 should, at every stage of the war, be faster, roll faster, turn tighter, respond more readily, have better visibility, climb faster, have longer range, have better firepower and always be a version ahead of the Spitfire. He has made all of those claims at one time or another. If you disagree with him and make your position firm he responds by slandering you.
As long as he sticks to just talking about the Bf109 he is generally ok, but as soon as any other aircraft comes into it, I've seen him go after Crump about the Bf109 vs Fw190, then he cannot be reasoned with. I am sorry to say that because it is likely he has gone too far this time and will be banned, meaning a loss of a data source for the Bf109. Essentially it seems to me that he takes it too personally and then it spills out from there. This is looking like the biggest mess yet.
