That's exactly what I wanted to say, but I was afraid I'd get banned if I said it.

To Hitman, with all due respect, I'm sure you are a nice kid in person, but you're just that, a kid, and as renegade said, the main problem that many if not all the ASC members who dislike you have is the fact that you're underage and own airsoft guns. Don't be a fool about it and don't give the flamers a reason to flame you and everyone can move on. Also, like renegade said, don't get cocky now and think just cause cortex made this post that you're safe and you've got a guardian angel.
I wish you the best of luck on your airsoft journey and please, wait till your 18.

And in real life I have very small ***** and a beer gut... ;)

There's such a thing as "inner shaft". :)

Admit it, both of you loved it, and that's why you keep coming back.

Speak for yourself ;)

stop lying to yourself, tiny.

I think you all need to get over it!

Never have I seen a forum with such negative attitudes and comments as it's main content..... 0-flame in 0.001 seconds....

I mean sure drama is part of message boards but ASC has some major issues with it....

If you do not feel like helping a noober out, pass on it! It's really that simple.

Correct noobs in a open thread if they post incorrect information. Teach something to the noob and all those whom read up on the posted information.

But one thing I will add... all this negativity towards kids and noobs hurts the overall growth of the sport. Those who are generally being flamed sadly to say are the future players of tomorrow!

The truth is people like the drama and keep coming back for more.

Noobs come with the territory, move on!

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

YOU TOO?!?!?

LEAVE MR. HITMAN ALONE!!! (Chris Crocker)

He must love all the attention he's getting now.

Does this warning also apply to all the retarded "Someone's going to flame you to death now, wait for it, I'll join in as soon as they start" posts, usually found as the very first or second reply to a newbie question and without the slightest attempt at being helpful?

god I hope so...
and yes, I can say it because im not one of the people this threat was created about, so you probably would have been banned haha :) you also probably wouldnt have said it the same either..

I spent almost an hour trying to think of how to say it with as much...err...grace! as you did, but I couldn't Thank god you came a long and said it for me.

See that's the problem here. If everyone acted like they did in real life (respectful and polite to people they just met) we wouldn't have these issues. If I asked a question and someone was as rude as they are here, I'd probably punch them in the face. Remember, treat others how you'd like to be treated.

On the other hand, don't say shit knowing it will start an arguement.

Stop the trolling and the flaming and ASC will be a much better place.

It's just some people think they are the sh*t behind their screens and show no respect since they don't know who they are messing with, right?
You don't need to flame guys who just started an account and don't know crap. A forum isn't to scare users away, it's the people in it who need to educate new users instead of a starting a sh*t storm.
