Let him suffer, by "letting him off" he won't learn anything. I don't think he will learn anything anyway.
This is the sort of idiot who gives the sport a bad name, 1 less idiot doing so is a benefit for all parties.
Ok, I read through the first 7 pages the other day and have checked back for every update since. The thread, in my view, is the best warning to ALL ballers, not only those who are out to rip us fellow players off, but also those that skimp on postage and packaging.
Make it a STICKY!
Simple rule - if it's worth more than £40, send in special Delivery as it will be insured against BOTH LOSS and DAMAGE during transit.
If under £40, send it recorded. 1st or 2nd. Its an extra 50p (AFAIK) that way all sellers are covered and proof of postage is available at any time.
I have played at NPF now for over 2 years. I can't say I know or even recognise this Breakwell guy, but either way, he's a Ar$e! For past actions, for delayed postage, for cheap postage, for his attitude, for his lack of respect and for his complete lack of any self concern. Both for his future balling and (from what I have read of Robbo) his future life! (And his ol'man)
However, as the situation may be coming to an end I feel I would like to express my point of view as well as my concern.
Whether he pays or not, I would not like to see someone like this at my site! At NPF I have alway sfelt like it is a community, just like being on here. You can chat and trust every one of the regulars. The problem now is, as most of this community know 'kids' like this are playing and appearing at sites, it will create a 'Guilty until proven Innocent' scenario. Trust no-one until you get to know them, and that is not good for Paintball. Especially new players to the sport.
Don't get me wrong, you cannot police every human being in the sport, but most are exactly that. Human. They have respect for others and kit. It's rare you get D1ckheads like this, but the minorty will dictate how the majority will feel.
My prefferred option - Leave it upto the individual sites, but hopefully, they will keep the bans in place. I don;t want to see this kid down NPF!
Just my 2p
