Hi Vin,
Thanks for having the courage to say what other people are thinking. There's a certain heirarchy that rules the Forum and there is zero tolerance for decenting viewpoints.
You know what Peter L., I'm probably the chief offender your talking about and might not always be politically correct. Forgive me for not waking up every morning and not "Pledging ALOWEgence" to the flag every morning. If you have the unmitigated gall to be of the opinion that Bishop is not a deity or didn't accomplish half of what has been written, you get piled on by the "compatriots". They're like Jim Jones followers at a Kool Aid convention.
God forbid that there is even an iota of possibility that I'm right, I'm left with this ultimatetum, "If you can't prove something that never happened never happened - shut up!" That is not a Forum!
There is nobody on this site save possibly Barrett, Frank, Reinout, Soder, and Killratio with enough knowledge to "Pontificate" over the "Forum" and the aforementioned certainly don't flaunt it or make judgements as to the opinions of others!
In the grand scheme of things, the career of Lt.
William Avery Bishop is so trivial and unimportant
that it's barely worth mentioning. It's unimportant wether he shot down 2 or 102.
It has never been my intention to cause pain or discomfort to anyone here. This a great site and there are several people who's opinion I greatly respect and who's friendship I cherish.
I offer an open apology to anyone who's sensitivities I've offended and only ask in return that I not be forced to get in line like a lemming heading for the sea.
VBR,
