It could have been New Zealand.

Mate, dont make such stupid comparisons
I know your logic is non existent but to make such stupid comparisons makes you in the eyes of all not only immature but damn right stupid. You also compared this event to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Come on now grow up.

I have nothing against you man, but you did mention somewhere this forum is cliquish, childish etc.
So what are you doing here??
I haven't seen anything interesting from you.
You posted 706 posts so far, it looks to me 700 of those are about RH's personality and past history in the other forum.
Maybe you should think that people in this forum have the ability to judge RH based on what he contributes HERE instead?

@RH, LR and Paphitis.
I personally got sick and tired hearing the same story over and over again.


I've been following your discussions with Erolz.Sotos, et al, re moderation on the forum. TBH, and understandably I think, I'd assumed that there wasn't any. Your post is the first I've seen in over 2 years that sounds like it's from a Mod. The line about Admin wandering around with changing names was interesting and a bit intimidating.Image I'm still not really sure what the actual rules consist of. Although there certainly are quite clear published ones.

In your case though I think I have figured it out. You're Steve! And I claim my €10 prize. Image

I'm impressed by the fact that you've read all of my 700 posts and won't argue about your conclusion. Well, much. The forum is a bit cliquish, particularly if you're an Auslander (I coulda chosen a better name, that's for sure) but I don't recall every saying it was childish. Despite the fact that some discussions have tended to descend to the level where short trousers, frayed school ties and your best champion conker wouldn't have been out of place. I have seen you say that it can be childish recently, too.

Yes, people will make their own judgement about RH. I don't know if it's really the case but a couple have indicated that Tim Drayton left (a sad loss, I'm sure most would agree) due to arguments with him. True, or not? Also, I've seen S.T.U.D. , after a protracted and heated discussion, announce that he wanted no further discourse with him. CBBB said a while back that RH's entering a thread tended to mark its death knell. These are others judging, not me. And, despite the PR campaign, I'm not some sort of evil Svengali with a malign influence over Paphitis. He speaks for himself and has been arguing with RH and others since long before my appearance. It does appear to have been the case that when Paphitis isn't around RH tends to be blind broadcasting to himself, mostly. So, giving Paphitis so much stick seems a bit masochistic. Image

I've always been willing to post and like to think I might have some valid views. So far though they've mainly tended to be greeted with being shouted down. Although, apparently, I'm the bully. Image

GR. You're clearly not ill. I want my Get Well present back. The big brown box, containing a Claymore mine. You opened it?? Hello................. hello! :shock: Image

It's not stupid, it's exactly the same thing. A radar can not identify if the incursions are Turkish, which is why the HAF scrambles jets to get eyeballs on them. They photograph the tails and and Turkish Markings and the planes get so close sometimes, the pilots actually eyeball each other and even make interesting hand gestures.

A radar can not identify the aircraft either, unless the aircraft have an activated a transponder code. Because these are military aircraft and they have made illegal incursions, they would not be Squawking a Transponder Code that identifies them. NATO have generic IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) transponder codes, which the Hellenic Air Force will pick up as Friendlies (since they are Turkish) but the Turks wouldn't have their transponders on. Therefore, they are unidentifiable by radar.

Therefore, the violations in the Aegean and over Cyprus might not be Turkish. there is no evidence that they are Turkish. They could be from anywhere. Unless they are identified, there is no evidence. It might be the kiwis that did it! :lol:

Yes the attack on Britain was a Chemical Attack and every bit as serious as Pearl Harbour if not more. Britain was last attack by Chemical weapons in WW2. This is extremely serious and over 25 countries have taken action against Russia over it already. Some of these countries are not NATO members either.

I *have* been very, very ill (still not out of the woods yet) and if it weren't for my loving wife nursing me tirelessly I might have kicked the bucket... to Dr Jerry's dismay.

As Pyrpolizer pointed out.......... this is just your usual MO, another long epistle all about me! Really you are a rather pathetic character if I still affect you to this extent after all these years of hounding me and feeling it is necessary to explain to all that will bother to read it, how bad you think I am. It appears you are somewhat short on support for your views.

Pleae, please, please ...... give it a rest..... nobody but you and Paphitis is interested. :roll:

It's got nothing to do with viewpoints at all.

Hoodwinks is making vitriolic and personal posts - he is playing the man and not the posts. And when the other forum was mentioned, it's because he has been given a suspension for doing the same kind of thing that he is doing here, as well as reveal private messages of other forumers and some other things as well because he couldn't accept views contrary to his own.
