Things in paintball that you don't like but seem popular

When people post their first three "dislikes" specifically targeted at another AO users post, even though they would never have listed those otherwise (*cough* shartley).

LAME!

How about just coming right out and saying my name, and not "coughing" it? Talk about lame.

What I posted was not invalid just because you reminded me that I did not like it. After all, wasn't YOURS targeted at other people's posts too? Let me refresh your memory....

People who whine excessively about the image, safety, etc aspects of paintball. These things are obviously important but enough is enough we've heard it all over and over and over (especially here on AO). Please give us a break. If you want to go teach newbies go ahead but for gods sake WE KNOW!

Please drop it..... thanks.

I think MinimagRockin' is right. I dont think we should have to hear about the rules every single time we play. In fact, we should just forget about the rules all together, take off our masks, turn on our Emags to full auto, and go nutz.

I dislike:

-Woodsball bashers that have never played woodsball

-People who answer the newbie question of "whats the best gun?" with "it's not the gun it's the player, go get an e-mag or a Rat Impulse."

-Cockers.(personal experience)

-People who make fun of me and my DropBackward(tm)

-BE bashers. Nothing wrong with them in my opinion, so most of the stuff is sub-standard. They made paintball affordable

-People who make fun of me and assume I'm a sniper when I say I like the rush of stalking.

-People who play against newbies and think they are invincible.

-People who look at you funny when you show up at a field with a non-electro-atomic-pneumatic-uber-nifty-"it cost way more than yours" gun.

-Britney spears *cough*SLVT*cough*

my list, but not in any particular order (obviously my opinions):
* center feed markers
* double finger triggers
* JABB's (too many clones)
* JAAC's (too many clones)
* JAAM's (too many clones)
* JAE's (too many clones)
* sights and lasers on markers
* cheeting/wiping and other items of lack of integrity.
* scammers (gee, I'll sell you a URL on ebay, so you can buy an angel and it will only cost $300! - arghghg)
* "tourny-boys" - the stereotypic ones, not all! the ones with the attitude that they are all that and that rec-painbtball should go away - bah.
* People tha tthink that the culmination and end-all in paintball is tournaments - bah!
* People that are not patient with or don't otherwise "tolorate" players that can't afford a "nicer" marker
* People that will defend their marker to the end (because it is theirs and not for any real reason, otherwise)
* people that shoot up or otherwise belittle newbies.
* "Evil" products (controversial, but hay, I am the founder of the CPPA)
* "military" stlyed-looking markers in normal rec. play (or in tournaments) - they may have thier place in specialty scenarios etc, but not in normal play
* renegade/outlaw players that have no respect for property or safety
* the publics stereotypic view of paintball players (bah, we aren't all a bunch of militia crazies)
* PB players that don't care about what other people think about paintball and paintball players image.
* people who think that cheeting/wiping is okay, cause it is done all the time and you can't win without it - bah
* people who wnat something for nothing or that otherwise think that the world owes them a living. (especially ones that ask me for free stuff)
* I suppose there are more, but I gotta get back to work...
