Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Alfred Jakobi
Apropos rare Bf109 types: did the Bf109A and/or Bf109C ever see any combat ?
Cheers, Michael |

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Alfred Jakobi
Hector, are you a M O D E R A T O R ? (yes, I can spell too) Then stop pretending to be one. Leave it to those who have volunteered for the job.
And for once - no, make that for all - when you have nothing good to say, or aren't going to contribute to a thread, say nothing. This forum will be a much better place for it. Peter |

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Alfred Jakobi
Hi Nick,
as you know I have been a member of both incarnations of the 12 O'clock High forum for the better part of two decades. For those unfamiliar with the earlier incarnation, this was its home page: https://rhorta.home.xs4all.nl/ In order that debate or criticism not be viewed as mere fighting, can I ask for clarification on some points? 1) If somebody is posting dodgy information from spurious sources is it not OK to call out the fact? 2) If somebody has time and again been pointed in the direction of decent sources by more experienced members but continues to quote sheer poo, is it not OK to call out the fact? Before anyone jumps on the "you can't expect us all to be on the same level" bandwagon, I will concede the point: no, not everyone has access to archival material and interviews with veterans. But at the same time, are we expected to just stand there and take it when you attempt to talk down to us...? ...From the lofty heights of the ivory tower you have constructed out of Osprey Books cemented with random googlings.... Are we expected to stand there and watch others cop that? 3) Given that this is a forum for "everybody" and not "somebody's private personal agony-aunt panel"... If somebody is using the forum to only ever post question after question after question but never gives assistance to anyone else, is it not OK to call that out? I respectfully seek your guidance, Nick. Because in 20 years on this forum, I have never seen anything like the current issues outlined in the points above and am gobsmacked that somebody actually finds them infinitely defensible... What gives the forum a bad look....? The fact that we once had some eminent authors and researchers contribute to this forum but it is now a playground for novices who should be learning rather than dictating, listening rather than talking down to moderators....

Good evening Nick Beale,
you only intervene when somebody critizises my stalker. You never block his permanent harassment of mine, thereby breaking the forum rules. M |

OK guys enough is enough. Take your personal feud off board or I will close this thread and ban each of you for 6 months.

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Alfred Jakobi
Good morning Mr. John Beaman,
can you give me some useful counsel how to preserve the original topic of a thread from offensive intrusions ? For example I want this current thread to remain a Bf109T/Alfred Jakobi discussion thread. You see above how it went astray. Kind regards, Michael |

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Alfred Jakobi
Hi guys
I don't intend to become involved in this - only to say that over the past two or three years Michael has been most helpful to me. I owe him gratitude and much more. I feel that it is unfair to expect we 'ordinary' researchers to have the expertise of the Moderators (and some others). I, too, ask many questions on the Forum simply because I don't have the knowledge. Isn't that the name of the game? That's how we learn. And I don't believe that I have been able to contribute much in return. My humble opinion is that sometimes the Moderator experts are too harsh in their judgement of we lesser beings. We should all enjoy and benefit from what is available on an otherwise excellent Forum. Cheers - and as Michael always says - have a nice day. Brian |

Here's the difference: As I have found out at first hand, when somebody tells you something (i.e. a bad source to be avoided), you listen. You also contribute answers and you don't play a game of "it is beneath my dignity to listen to somebody who isn't telling me exactly what I want to hear." I hope your book on the Polar Sea Front continues to do well. Last you shared material from it with me, it seemed to be doing very well. I look forward to seeing it published it someday, I will be among the first to buy a copy. In the meantime I have turned up some more of VVS-SF's losses as inflicted by JG 5 so if there's any more help that you need, hit me up with a PM. Nick |
