Right, let's get this out of the way first.Element Gunfighter said:
The reason I said the learn to read thing, is because in your original post you created the impression that some of YOUR threads went AWOL. I'm pretty sure that you'd feel like advising people to learn to read too if they kept ignoring the rules.
Turns out it wasn't your thread that got chopped, but think about your message a little more next time. It can prevent a lot of confusion and prevent people from misenterpreting your posts.
Anyway, seems like I owe a few people a hearty apology as well, since I was living under what turns out to be a false impression.
As a mod, I have the option to do a hard and a soft delete. When I do a soft delete, the thread is actually still there, but as sort of a dead link. I always made a note of why the thread got pulled, which is visible under the thread title. I was under the impression that this was visible to everybody, just without the modding options, but it turns out this ain't the case. So while I intended to be nice, it just wasn't visible to you guys. I didn't know, sorry about that. So I'll do things a little different in the future.
I can see where to a certain point the frustration comes from, although I do feel that some people still overreacted.
What I still will never put up with is the kind of rude behavior so evident in this thread. Name calling will never reinforce your point, it will only weaken it.
Anyway, hope this makes things a little clearer. And calms a certain person's nerves...
Thanking you sir. And although its taken a little more than I would of liked to solve the problem I'm glad we've been made aware of what the problem was.
Either way respect.
Either way respect.
Your first post went up at 9.39PM, so within an hour and a half, we got to solving the problem. Not bad when you think about it. It takes governments a lot longer than that...
Maybe people should shout at each other more often...

I was always told that fighting never solves anything... nope... but shouting on a paintball forum evidently does.

I'm soooo glad I just got in and read this and wasn't involved coz I'm sure we would have had one less member on our forums...Jay, you're getting mellow mate..it's almost as if you are my alter ego
Thats fair do's Pete but I really didnt intend to cause trouble, originally my intention was a simple discussion.
Element, to be fair mate, I don't think 'simple' discussions include insults; if they do, then those simple discussions as you like to describe them can escalate...quite quickly....try going into some local bar and having a 'simple' discussion in the same way as you did on here and I've got a pretty good idea where it is likely to head...you get my point?Element Gunfighter said:
It's elementary my dear Element
Take it easy !
Pete, we have to face facts. We are getting old...Robbo said:I'm soooo glad I just got in and read this and wasn't involved coz I'm sure we would have had one less member on our forums...Jay, you're getting mellow mate..it's almost as if you are my alter ego
