Well it isn't that bad, just that some people find it difficult to respect the opinion of others if it is contrary to their believe. By escalating the discussion into an argument they block any discussion period.

It is an effective means of stopping what could otherwise become an interesting debate.

But IMHO it would be a shame if TOCH! were only to deal with RLM#, WNr. and production, claims and loss figures etc.

Unfortunately targets of indiscriminate bombings (by either side) will remain part of our interest and should remain part of what we can discuss.

If not, well I'd soon lose interest in hosting this forum.
