Ya gotta remember that you're dealing with -Tarver- here.

Yep, changing the subject just makes you look like a dumbass, token.

Yanik, of course, tabbed right on to your supid.



I was unaware that I had changed the basic subject of your comment. I
also never called you a derogatory name, such as dumbass.

Your exact complete quote from the messaqe I replied to:

Here on Earth, sholder fired missiles are proven to be effective agiainst
turbo jets such as older 727s use, but have missed every shot on high bypass
engine vehicles. Think for a moment at the difference in discharge
temperatures for the two different types of engines and I think you will
understand.


And naturally, in the message just before that one you said (again,
the complete quote here):

Those heat seakers don't chase high bypass engines very well.

At no place in either of these messages do I see that you said
"high-bypass-ratio engines on airliners only". I see blanket
statements about high-bypass engines. I see the statement "but have
missed every shot on high bypass engine vehicles." I was unaware that
the term "vehicles" was another name specificly and only for
airliners.

Now, a simple statement such as "I meant only as applied to airliners"
would have been a civil and socially acceptable manor of correcting
what you perceived to be an error in my statement. This statement
would have made me respond with something like "OK, I can understand
that, do you have a source that I can check that list all the
airliners shot down by manpads? I mean since you know that no
high-bypass engines have ever been hit, I would like to broaden my
knowledge base and see what have been the most susceptible platforms."

Since you instead chose to jump right in and call me (someone you have
never corresponded with before as far as I know) a "dumbass" I am less
than obliged to believe a word you have typed. So prove it to me you
inconsiderate, uneducated, opinionated piece of trash. Show me a
source that indicates no high-bypass engined vehicle has ever been hit
by a shoulder launched missile.

T!
