to be fair - it was a pretty sh!t thread. Reason enough for you? :)

edit: to expand on this point - Just because a thread conforms to all the rules doesn't mean it automatically stays. It also has to be good. If i remember correctly your particular thread had degenerated into chat and to be honest it wasn't a very interesting thread in the first place.

Just to make the point as well - we dont pick on anyone (unless they really deserve it.) You were just unlucky this time that your thread didn't contribute intellectually to the forums as much as it could of done. It's not particularly your fault but the fault of those posting in it.

If memory serves the title was something to do with AGG but he was actually interested in aggression. Two completely different things.

I'd of also put it in the techroom rather than here but thats just me being a pedantic f*ck.

Thank you for your reply.
So what is your view of aggression in paintball? People say it's necessary for dominance, but it leads to violence, negativity and decline in our sport. Look how many people sell up and ask why, because they don't enjoy it - why? 'because there's too much 'sh*t' they say. I'd say this is a relevant topic for our sport and it's development? People don't quit other sports because of 'sh!t', when they retire they move onto coaching and managing.

Agg was coined (as far as i know) by HK to mean something that looks 'aggressive', and therefore 'good' for paintball. It's now evolved to mean just good but my question was just that, whether aggression is 'good' for paintball. The title was a play on words, based on 'Agg' which everyone who i saw post before sunday seemed to understand (first post - 'i thought agg was just looking cool'), second post was 8ball with just the kind of reply I was looking for, and when i got back from playing it had gone, I might have to trust you that some sh!t posts descended but it just doesn't seem right to delete an intelligent conversation because a couple of people may have posted silly replies.

Im trying to be extra respectful here Mario because of your 'mod' status, and I don't see any point in making an enemy of someone I hardly know for something this petty, but it's just how it seems to me, with 'it wasn't that good anyway' as a reason. It was an intelligent discussion on the forum, which seems to have been deleted for not much reason, with the next threads down living an easy life; a guy who can't use a ruler to measure a backplate, and the bi-monthly 'paintball on TV thread'

Next time you'd be better off sending questions like this to a mod via a PM. This could be seen as picking a fight. (not saying that's how I see it, but had I woken up on the wrong side of the bed, I might have).

trust me it wasn't an intelligent conversation after that 8 balls post.

I should know, i posted in there :)

Please dont be respectful because of my 'mod' status. Be respectful because you think i deserve respect. If you dont think i deserve respect, qualify why i dont and dont be. As long as your polite with me i'll be polite with you :) Im not into banning people just for disagreeing with me. I know that when someone is as perfect as me its hard to disagree :)

On the note about the backplate - alas my attention span is short I only really look into threads that i think have interesting thread titles in the hope that there is some intelligent discussion going on. As im sure you aware most of the time there isn't. Trust me when i say that the thread wasn't going places :)

also agg = a gay guy. trust me on this one. :)
