Far be it from me to advocate our members committing violence of any kind, well, apart from asking, nay pleading with you guys to kick the living cr@p out of jeremy kyle and/or gordon ramsey should any of you guys ever cross paths with them but a curious situation has arisen this last weekend that has me reaching for my biology books.

The title of this post is somewhat misleading but I shall explain its relevance ... the numbers 'zero' and 'two' refer to testicles ..yep, that's right, testicles .. us menfolk got two of them, or rather should do; our fairer sex is hopefully deprived of them ...but, I think we may have a pretender in our male midsts who promises to make us all look like limp-wristed fairies on our way to San Fransisco ...
I refer of course to MsHell .. not the biggest of females, far from it in fact, a mere wisp of a woman but seemingly possessing more testicles than all us keyboard heroes.

When the whole breakwell thingy went down a few months ago; the thread was filled to the brim with players' indignations of horror and disgust at a fellow baller stealing, bullying and generally being a complete ass .. and rightly so, mr breakwell defied all rationale when he tried to wriggle free from the p8ntballer spotlight but all to no avail as he was tried and sentenced and banned from our midsts.. that was until last weekend.

Now, a lot of the posts I just mentioned that populated the breakwell thread talked of abject disgust at what he had done and the consequent physical demonstration of people's displeasure should he ever turn up on a site again, basically a lot of people said they would 'give him a a little slap' .. well, due to a few unforeseeable events, he managed to worm his way back in to our midst but this obviously didn't go unnoticed .. not by a long way ..within a few minutes of him being seen on site, I received my first text alerting me to his presence ... now, I did think, 'fackin ell, breakwell's got some nuts turning up for this latest event bearing in mind sooo many people had said they were gonna 'put it on him' ....
I know our average baller ain't a violent man but this guy breakwell had pushed the envelope sooo far and enraged soo many ballers that I genuinely feared for breakwell on hearing he'd turned up at the CPPS.

I shouldn't have worried .... the only person who kept their word as to what they'd do was Michelle [MsHell] .. she had been sooo outraged at breakwell stealing a a gat from Joe Bollard and then going onto boast about it on face-book that she always promised, should she ever see him again on a paintball site, she would then introduce him to a little slap..well she high-fived him alright ..... thwaaaackkkk!!!!!!
Michelle told me she was a bit miffed that she was the only one in keeping her word because soo many of our ballers had said they were gonna do this, that and whatever should breakwell ever turn up ...
She felt it ironic that when breakwell was acting out his hard man image with the use of his keyboard, a lot of people remarked upon the fact anyone could pretend to be a hard man on the internet and if it ever came to it, could breakwell produce the goods?
Of course he couldn't as Michelle has proven so adequately.

And so, where were all us men when breakwell turned up?
Did we all go on the missing list?
Did we get an involuntary dollop of morality plopped into out laps ?
We might have even pondered the illegality of repositioning his nose and decided not to for fear of prosecution ..
Whatever the reasons, it now seems as though we have a new paintball super-hero within our midst, our very own righter of wrongs ... Michelle ... MsHell ... pis$ her off at your peril guys coz she's gonna give you a slap if you do .... :):)

Believe it or not I don't condone violence myself (well most the time anyway). I was pissed off with "Tiny" for doing what he had done with Joe, this was a lad I was looking after at the time of the incident so I did take it personally and did follow through with my word.

What disappointed me most was the lack of balls from others to do the same. I read many a post and listened to many a person, saying what they would do if they ever got the chance, yet you had the chance.

I certainly don't blame Rich for him being there (far from it), he is a nice guy that doesn't want to deny people the chance of being around this sport (which he is so passionate about). However we should not be expecting Rich or even Robbo to stop this guy from being around. We need to take collective responsibility. If you don't like him in the pit area then say something to him, if you don't like what he has done let him know. It doesn't have to be a violent act, but if you stay quiet then he will not know he have done anything wrong, be vocal let him know how angry you are.

This person degraded our community, one thing I am always impressed with in paintball is how much we trust and respect each other. Every tournament we leave kit out of our sight while we are on the field, we lend people equipment and we let people take our guns to be repaired. This individual is probably not the first nor will he be the last to do this, and the only way of dealing with people like him is to rally round as a community, he has got caught red handed and we have voiced our displeasure on the forum, now it has to be done to his face.

It annoyed me so much to see him acting as though all was normal on Sunday, he was made to squirm by others. I am no super hero but I do stand up for what I believe in and I am a woman of my word.

Wasn't there, but I'm sure the men didn't get involved because MsHell apparently had it so well handled. No need to over-kill, y'know?

I'm sure if she didn't have it so well handled then Tiny would be eating through a straw :rolleyes:

Maybe there should be security personnel at tournaments where this chap decides to wriggle his way into. I volunteer! I'll do it for free*.
That way, any thieving goes on and he may end up eating though a straw, y'know, reasonable force and all. ;)

Actually, Robbo, you do bring up a good point, many people talk big, but when it comes down to it, no-one wants to spend a night in the cells, there's a notion that female to male assault doesn't exist, it's not true, but it's a strong misconception and without any physical evidence it's going no-where, where-as blokes tend to get carried away occasionally (I'm going by personal experience, guys just can't handle the adrenaline rush as well as the fairer sex).

*As long as you feed me. :p

You wouldn't believe the keyboard warriors we have on here that I and some of the other mods have to deal with.:tsk:

I have lost count of the times I have been threatened with GBH on here to be dished out at an event.9 times out 10 it's from some 13/14 year old kid who think he is anonymous behind his computer screen.:rolleyes:

As I always tell them,my name is always on my shirt and it's a very big shirt so come up and say "HI" in person as I am always happy to meet forum members and put names to faces at events:cool:

Ms Hell I salute you for what you did to the idiot that is Breakwell:thumb: .

in my defense i found out early in the day he was on site, but i think its a good thing i don't know what this guy actually looks like (sorry guys too many short players nowadays).
well said with the point that nobody was actively hoping he would get the cr@p kicked outta him but at least voicing an opinion would have seen things right.

so if anybody wants to point him out to me round 4 i'll be happy to have words! :)

So if people aren't going to do it then why say they will? The answer to that is because it is easy to say something but harder to follow through.

I'm not necessarily saying people have to use violence but what about speaking to him? Why did I also see him having a great time on the Saturday night drinking and having a laugh when he has done what he has? Why did people allow him to be in the pit areas without saying anything to him? Why are people in fear of what he may do (to the extent they will take their kitbag on field? When are you going to stop allowing people like him spoil the nature of this community?
