Introductions

[Vince]

You are gay, and I mean that in the most un-politically correct, pejorative way possible.

As for the "pussy" comment, good job insulting all CCW-ers in one fells swoop.

As a CCW-er, it sort of negates the point of having a CCW if you're going to declare you have it, for one (unless, of course, to a police officer, to prevent undue hostility).

Your post insulted me more as a CCW-er than War Savage's post did. To even thinly threaten someone that you have a CCW and would use it in the event of a physical assault that you'd be knowingly showing up to, makes the rest of us CCW-ers look like stupid gun nuts.

I never realized that exercising my first ammendment rights was a wimpy thing to do.  Damn that wimpy Constitution!

Before invoking the Constitution, I would highly suggest READING it. You are referring to your second amendment, the right to bear arms.

If you ever assault someone and they pull a gun on you, make sure to tell them what a pussy they are before they blow your brains out and send your big tough guy self to the morgue.

Again with the thin threats. I learned in CCW class (you know, the one they make you take to get a CCW, you DID pay attention right???) that I cannot respond with a concealed weapon unless I believe fully that my life is in danger. If I was stupid enough to show up for a fistfight, I would most definitely NOT be carrying concealed firearms. That's asking for a whole lot of trouble. Remember, just because you might have a CCW does NOT give you any more right to pull it on people than those without a CCW. Doing so would result in felony charges, whether you actually fire the weapon or not. You would most certainly lose your CCW; hell, you'd lose your precious second amendment right altogether.

I can't believe I actually responded to one of your posts, but I felt a need to stick up for all of us CCW-ers being set up for a bad example by you, and hopefully to let others know not to follow your dumbassed example.

Warlock, you didn't read my posts very well.  I never said I was a ccw-er, nor did I make any threats.  The only one threatening anything here is War Savage.  I have no intention of engaging in a fist-fight with some Internet tough guy over such a stupid reason.  My point was how silly it is to go around threatening people on the Internet.  That is really all I was saying even if it sounded like more than that.  

If you need to carry a concealed weapon were ever you go you might want to reconsider your life and how you interact with people.

IF I carry a concealed weapon it's not because I go around starting fights with people, it's because there is so much random crime happening all the time that it pays to be prepared.  If someone assaults me on the street with a knife or gun it's not going to help much if I'm good at breaking teeth with my knuckles.  When it comes to the legal issues, I would have to say "Better judged by twelve than carried by six".  

As for the second ammendment, well, I made a typo.  I am well aware of which ammendment grants the right to keep and bear arms.  I'm just having a hard time doing anything right the last few days.

Anyway I give up, you guys win.  It's clear that you guys will hate me forever for making one out of hand post.  Such is the nature of the Internet, it's easy to make snap judgements about people without knowing virtually anything about them.  I'm sorry I was rude and I'll leave now because I can see I'm just making things worse.

It wasn't just your first post, but the oens that followed and how rudely and immaturely you reacted to them.

OK, at this point PLEASE do one of two thing Hellbore.I know we all get hot headed and fly off the handle. We can make a new start ALL of us or if you still feel that same about the forum then you can leave and not to comeback or reply,


With a fresh start meaning Busta, Vince, War savage and  the others will not carry a grudge beyond this topic

Yea or nay guys(Remember just cause someone doesnt agree with us doesnt make them bad or wrong )

Well looking back I realize now that I came in and started saying "fuck you" to everyone, not a very good way to introduce yourself.  It's only right for me to apologize for that.  It's up to you guys if you want to carry a grudge or not, I probably would be pissed too if I was you.

[War savage]

As you all may know. I'm pretty mellow and easy going. I would be one to give a second even a third chance. Just keep in mind Hellbore, you are walking into a whole community that has established itself and is comfortable without smart@$$ people making smart@$$ comments. They will be bashed on in a heartbeat as you already know.

Good luck!

But we all know i AM the biggest smartass around...hehe..

I could care less, show up to a game with an attitude or mouth though and don't just expect to get kicked out, some people can't hold their temper in person...

[gixser13]

OK guys lets give him anither chance
What do you say(Busta, You if anyone should give him anither chance)

Yeah I have seen the same thing in paintball, except there are more smart@$$es so maybe it's more of a normal thing there...  Actually I take that back, paintball is FULL of smart@$$es... lol...

If you knew me you would know that I don't usually start crap with anyone, I don't know why I did.

[gixser13]

Well nuff said, Move on nothing else to see here guys,

Welcome Hellbore,  How long have you been airsofting and what kinda weps do you have?

You'll learn quickly, if you stick around, grudges only stay in the topic they started in the first place (Except one or two extreme situations [bdoos]). I'm willing to say welcome, as I always was. I say, just don't post any more regarding the topic. Ignore all dumb comments (Except Daves [gixsers]) and other welcoming comments like it. And, when you get 10 posts, before anything, make an introduction thread before anything. I think it's called for   .

Welcome Hellbore,  How long have you been airsofting and what kinda weps do you have?

Thanks for the welcome, I see I had you guys all wrong.

Well I actually just started maybe 3 weeks ago with some friends, we play in the woods.  We have mostly springers.  I haven't bought any AEG's because no one else in our group has them yet.  I bought the AEP mostly because I was intrigued by the way it operates.  If the group I play with thinks it's not fair I may not use it with them.  I'm hoping some in our group will get some AEG's because I really want to get one myself.  

I come from a paintball background where I was into custom and high end markers.  I did some pretty wild custom markers and was more interested in the tech side than the actual game.  However I've been a little frustrated lately with the high cost of playing and the constant cheating that happens, so I thought I would try airsoft, against the advice of many paintball friends.  Lots of them say airsoft is gay, airsoft is stupid, or airsoft is for wimps, etc. etc. etc.  So far I think it's fun, it has its own charm different from paintball.  I don't see why anyone shouldn't be able to enjoy both.

I have found that in paintball, the best source of information (in fact the ONLY source of non-BS informatoin) is forums.  I'm guessing this might also be true of airsoft, so I've been looking for good airsoft forums.  It's a bit of an adjustment going from paintball, where I'm somewhat of an authority, to airsoft where I'm a total noob.  I'll manage though, contrary to what you saw with my first posts, I actually do know how to eat humble pie lol...

[warlock]

Welcome.  

EDIT:
Dangit I hit post too early.

I just got done holding my first op at a paintball field, and much to my surprise there was equal amounts of respect being shown and given by both sides (paintball/airsoft). There were a few paintballers who were interested in participating in airsoft. Like you, I don't see why people can't do both. I used to do both airsoft and paintball, but once the sport turned to a pure battle of balls per second, I decided to get out of the pool for a bit and refocus some.

I know not every paintball game comes down to who splats more quicker, but in general these days that's most of the case. I enjoy airsoft because there isn't a big draw or advantage to lots of pellets except for cover fire. So it has its own way of "keeping things honest" so to speak. I could spit out 30rds/sec and one well-placed sniper shot will bring me down.

If you're nearby, you should come by for one of the games we have at the paintball field (Sudden Impact) to see how two vocally hostile groups can, in fact, coexist at the same time. For me, it was pretty interesting. I was half-expecting the field management to receive complaints about us, but we were fine the whole time we were there.
