he deserves respect?!?
ok I'm getting up on my soapbox for this one
Mandaloin you have to understand, for some unknown reason to me we are the black sheep of airsoft in phoenix. I am very protective of the reputation that I have worked so hard to build for Rebel Union. I have organized hundreds of free games, spent countless hours preparing fields that continually get destroyed, spending my own money for lights, gas, everything. The games are not free to me so that they can be free to everyone else that wants to have fun. And fortunately I have a select few friends that pitch in with their time and money as well. All to progress the sport of airsoft and give people a positive place to play that is organized and worth while. In my opinion if half of these "hater" airsoft players would get past themselves and enjoy the game for what it is, A GAME, we might actually be able to bring airsoft into the mainstream. Sadly however I don't believe this will ever happen. Even the hating against paintballers is childish. We play a similar sport and have similar interests, we should act as a whole if we ever want any rights in the community. Who knows maybe one day we could have public airsoft and paintball parks that are built by the city. If we matured the sport we can accomplish more.
