Don't think I've ever seen such blatent lack of understanding of air combat in my life! Gave me a head ache... :) But anyway, that 'Bob is your uncle' guy, had little substance in his post, it was all about his 'sons' knowledge. :eek:nfloorl: If someone tried to do that here they'd be shrugged off. :nutkick

Thanks for posting. :)

Speaking of terrible conversations etc: Have ever seen the arguments on the comments section of youtube videos? They're hillarious and also annoying.

agreed...however it was the fact that an lockheed employee was interfering in the forum under an assumed european guise that had me interested.....:confused:

That forum is the blind leading the blind. Just because an IP goes back to a LM computer means nothing with regard to a persons nationality. I know computers in Iraq you can use that will trace back to Arizona, Texas or Kuwait. Not to mention that fanboy stupidity that doesn't even warrant a response it's so wrong.

People need to read about what DACT is again I think.

Careful about committing to statements like that. Someone might dislike you enough to post that stuff just for the sake of having you poke out your eyes. :D

seemed like just too much of a co-incidence that it led directly back to lockheed to me......................in made me wonder how often this goes on and if it routinely occurs on all forums including this one.

I would expect people to disclose any conflicts of interest. We have in the past had people who have voluntarily declared association. The only time there will be difficulty is when people are attached to organisations where the organisation itself disapproves of public participation etc... and they elect to comment using unidentifiable ndp's etc.....

I think the conspiracy element can get overstated though - and the quality of responses at a technical level were abysmal anyway - hardly worth anyone from lockmart seeing a need to defend their position.

on another note, I'd suggest that the quality of commentary would alert anyone with a contrarian view to stay away - its just not worth the effort to engage in debate who are that acutely deficient at a technical discussion level.

quite frankly, some of their technical counter claims about LO re/nee F-22 are frighteningly amateurish....

Well you are a lot better at that than me as I'm sure you know! Sometimes I can't help it even though I hate when I do it.

Has anyone browsed that forum? How can you even take whatever you find in it seriously. The F-22/Eurofighter thread was cold until you decided to comment Darth. Now I am not saying that the forum in question is worthless because of that single thread I am saying its' worthless because of all the other comments (threads are few and far between), propaganda, and lack of discussion of actual EU issues such as the Irish voting down the Lisbon Treaty.

Hi simdude,

I would be most glad to discuss the EU issues and the Lisbon treaty, but I was told, no politics, well at least according to the rules of this forum...

Cheers

I am not looking for a conversation about the Lisbon Treaty. I was merely pointing out that I thought it odd that a forum about the EU has no discussion about something as important as the treaty.
