Hi Byron,
you wrote: "insult and invective directed at someone whose fault appears to me to be that he simply fails to agree with you on certain points"
No, I totally disagree. First of all, it was not me starting the insults and the mocking (as per evidences I have posted several times already).
This guy's simple fault is that he refuses geometry and mathematics
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5752&start=930#p80769 because
he has a well known agenda.
Everybody here (even who does not agree with me on the interpretation consequent to the battle reconstruction) has confirmed that Bismarck was on a course around 220° until Hood explosion (or later), because this is an incontrovertible fact, demonstrated by PoW salvo plot, showing a closing relative speed of 30 knots between Bismarck and PoW.

He has never answered these points, never proposed a credible alternative, just coming back each time with a different speculation (now the "captions", they used to be the "interpretation of ADM 205/10 (crystal clear) papers", "1990 map being the most precise", "reliability of Tovey memory", etc.) to try to deny what, in this specific case, is simply mathematically irrefutable: the PG film (and related photos) was turned when Hood had already gone and PoW was sailing away.
By now Mr.Wadinga is just trolling the forum to avoid the inconvenient (for him) truth to finally surface, he does it since a while and he deserves no politeness in doing that. Paul Mercer has already proposed several times your "solution" (to agree to disagree) and
this guy never accepted it: now he will get the deserved treatment (e.g. Antonio has already decided not to answer to this zero-value guy anymore) until
someone from his side will convince him that posting nonsense instead of facts will not be tolerated anymore.
Bye, Alberto
P.S. What about his insults, like mocking at a tragedy supporting a low anti-nationalistic attack ?

Have you condemned it, as you do now with my straight-talking ? I have not seen your intervention at the time....
