What strikes me is the way you (Robbo) have written what you have but again thats up to you and as many people like to shout out "It's your forum so you can say what you want" but I personally think you have a responsibility to the players who use this forum AND as the Federation chairman not to ban people simply becasue they support a shop that supplies them paintball equipment becasue you have a personal issue with someone.
I read about you Robbo (Apologies if it makes you feel old mate) when I was a kid and bought the PGI magasines and grew up with paintball and watched it grow. I have also seen you slate people before which has been justified and I like your no nonsense approach. But for me this is so petty putting it on a forum that it amazes me. We are grown men!!! I'm not doing this to take sides although I do know Andy, I would say this even if I didnt know either of you but this is on par with what kids do in play grounds.
Picking up on your Hitler comments which again I enjoyed dont you think Dustys comments remind you of the Pol Pot era?
Remember people just like me are what make paintball what it is. Im just a player, not a pro, not that good! but I play most weekends. Just because this is one post dont push it aside, you could ban me, but there are millions just like me and they are the everyday paintballer who you will want to join the Federation. Would I honestly want to join a Federation going off your first post? Nope. It suprises me it really does. I just hope you see my point. As for your post Dusty - "anyone who attempts to belittle that, or disrupt it in my book is making a rod for their own back, and doing UK ball no good at all no matter what they may claim publicly."
Thats very Hitler era. But again made me laugh, Im sure you mean well.
Why on earth would I ban you?
Have u insulted me?
I don't think so........
Let me explain something, you describe this as petty, do you know the full story?
No, of course not, you make your observations from a point of ignorance, and the reason you do this isn't because anybody asked for your opinion, it is because you felt the need to .....so far so good?
One might then ask, why on earth would you feel the need to when you have no idea what the whole story was?
Seems to me as though there must be an underlying reason for you to get involved coz nobody wants to be unmasked as ignorant fool now do they???
You don't me, you only know
of me but you state you know sable ...... and herein lies the reason you went out on a limb and commented upona situation not knowing the whole story .......kinda silly really !
And please, do not ever try to tell me what the chairman of the federation should or should not be doing, it is not your place or within your capabilities to do so.
You purposely confused my position as chairman of the board when I had already clearly stated this was a personal statement as owner of this forum or did you not read that?????
This has NOTHING to do with my position as chairman - did you read that? good !
Once again, an observation you make from an ignorant stance.
Now, I got no problem in you criticizing me, none at all, and I promise, you won't get banned but for god's sake mate, try to make points and observations based upon a reasonable knowledge of the situation.
As for being grown men, if I told you what sable did, you'd question that....
