if you read them you knew i was against it because
1- the airplane and the philosophy behind it is obsolete
2-it will result in choking our aviation industry
3- in numbers they were going to acquire it it make no change
And that's exactly where the problem lies: you insist on changing the subject, ignoring the thread of the discussion.
This is how it unfolded (I paraphrase):
Me: Fantastic news, Iran took delivery of Yak-130 trainers. I'm a particularly happy man today.
You: These are just unconfirmed reports, nothing more.
Me, after definitive confirmation came along: Well, as a matter of fact your doubts proved to be baseless. How about acknowledging their blatant falsehood?
You, inconsiderately and brazenly strawmanning: It'll be a repeat of the Avro Arrow saga, it'll kill Iran's domestic projects (ed.: read, only bad things can possibly come out of Russia).
Me: Hold on, hold on, that wasn't my point dingbat, my point was strictly confined to highlighting how you were wrong in hastily dismissing this particular report you quoted my reaction to. And now you're refusing to recognize your goof, which definitely isn't conforming to any notion of ethics. Have some shame, will you?
You, neurotically jumping up and down: Muuuuh, Avro Arrow, muuuuh.
Me: First you shall man up, demonstrate you can actually be an honest person if you try hard for a change, and admit your initial skepticism regarding Russian supply of the Yak-130 was genuinely unfounded. Where there's a will, there's a way - even for you, as unbelievable as it may sound.
You: You have an agenda / have no knowledge on military aviation / aren't Iranian, muuuuh, I always meant Avro Arrow!
Me: Do not distract from the matter at hand, slimeball. Address your incorrect assessment, have some integrity during your forum activity just for once, then we'll talk alright.
You: You don't read my posts (ed.: What the...!).
Me: Oh, sure do. I have them bookmarked even, just in case. However you're still trying to weasel your way out of a long due mea culpa, which is rather pitiful an attitude to put on display.
You understand? Or do I really need to dumb it down some more?
See, I'm quite proficient at exposing and then educating snotty folk so trust me, those pathetic two bit antics won't lead anywhere.
