It is going to be hard for this sport to grow if we keep brushing off everyone that is new.
While I wouldn't go so far as to say I was ripping him up, to belittle someone for making a very poor decision, with all of the FAQs and countless threads explaining the base of a 'good' airsoft weapon, is a way to have the person remember their actions as foolish and think twice about posting silly threads like this one and the hundred other "Is this clearsoft/crapsoft gun, ok?" by underage airsoft fans.

ASC is a resource and a learning ground, having it fill up with crap makes it harder to navigate, and telling others not to correct other members (sure, some of us are more mean than others) won't help the community grow.
