You, sir, are an insulting old fart, who would rather post misleading numbers on reports while jumping to conclusions about my posts, rather than read the point of my post for your own eyes.
Krusty, your reputation as a windbag requires no explanation. You exaggerate with remarkable frequency. Too often you shade the truth to suit your argument. I read your posts, and they often wreak of horse manure. I can't begin to count the times someone has taken you to task for exaggeration, bad information or simply horse hockey. You should apply for an editorial position with Pravda.
So, not counting your wonky climb rates, guess what?? I'm right again! By your own charts!!! SO WHAT'S WITH ALL THE watermelon YOU THROW MY WAY??? You never even READ my threads before dumping on them. In the F7F thread you totally blew a gasket because I quoted the article YOU provided for us to read! My GOD man!! Somebody actually READING something and commenting on it?!? Please show me where I've warranted the abuse you throw in response to my posts? Do you simply take offense at my mere presence in your favorite topic? Please tell me, so that I may avoid anything you ever post!
Frankly, widewing, I really love most of the input you give to the community, but lately I'm really getting pissed off at your attitude towards me, and your inability to read what I post (and comprehend what I'm posting) BEFORE you jump down my throat. You've been extremely rude to me on several occasions recently, and that never used to be the case.
Your entire train of logic is flawed. You insist that if one carves up and disguises an apple, you create an orange. The fact is that you do not. Moreover, you have never given any logical opinion as to why the P-47M should not be added. The graphics already exist. Take a P-47D-25, bump the power up to 2,800 hp and basically, you have it. Now, do a skin. Done! So, why are you so unrelenting in your effort to prevent it being added? What motivates you?
Indeed, there is always an underlying motive in your posts. You don't want the P-47M. It's too much of a beast. So, you argue that a stripped P-47N will suffice. The fact that you would have less guns and no range, plus less performance either eludes you or belies, in fact, your unstated purpose. Therefore, either you argue with deliberate bias, or you are simply obtuse. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to the former, rather than the latter. Let's be clear, many if not most of your posts are rants about something that makes you unhappy. The greater the unhappiness, the more exaggerated the rant (I invite others to disagree). That's your reputation, and you have earned it.
As long as you continue to twist facts to suit your point of view; as long as you exaggerate or overstate, you will be called out on it. If that is uncomfortable for you, it's easy to correct. Be honest and get your facts straight before clicking the "post" button.
My regards,
Widewing
