Well we are all characters and have our ways about us. Ignore what you don't like and use the stuff you do. I personally want to believe Bill is trying to be helpful. I don't really seeing him tearing someones work apart. More just giving his viewpoints on things that would make it more prototypical to him. Anyone is quite right to counter Bills viewpoint with actual examples contrary to his belief. Makes us all better modelers. I just can't get my head around the need to try and ridicule and in someways personally attack a member of the forum who is an old veteran trying to be helpful. Just doesn't feel right. Is it not possible just to accept Bill's delivery technique and use respectful rebuttal to show him other contrary ''fact'' without getting so personal.

YHR,
Again you are trying to make this look as if I have started this. Maybe you should read your quote and see if it fits Bill. I am no new-comer to this forum, having been on here on and off for the last 4 years, and have gotten used to Bill's style, and like you say ''ignored'' what I didn't agree with but recently he PM'ed me to tear my work apart just because, (and this is my personal veiw) someone praised it and not his ''historicaly accurate'' model.
In my posts to him I have always tried to be polite and have not attacked him personally in any way.
But even though he has been proven to be wrong on his statements, he will not admit that and still beleives ALL models should be built his way and there is no room for good looking ''generic'' models.
What's up with you????
Anyone can read this thread start to finish. Someone asked advice on a Pershing and Bill gave them good solid information. Then what happened????? Bill wasn't being critical of anyones work just answering a few questions, and providing some information. So you tell me how did this thread drift away from that??????????????
Holy smokes man, relax. I was just trying to smooth the waters, and present a perception of Bill that might help you lighten up a bit.
