The community hasn't changed; It's ceased to be. We've facilitated that through tolerance of assholes and a "live and let live" attitude towards the spoonfed internet generation.
The internet killed the community as we knew it. If we want it back, we need to make a conscious effort to make it happen.
There is no need to "grow the sport". There's no need to "keep airsoft alive". It was alive and well before the current crop of kids came along.
Mentoring is fine. The first thing to do if you're going to mentor someone is to BAN THEM FROM ASC. Force them to come out and learn.
