You know whats funn bout AO members...

[Carbon]

As im sure as most iof you already know, they lead double lives. They get into spats and arguments in AO, but for the most part, its still pretty chill and mostly constructive.

Take the some of the same members, put them in PBNation.....Its like friggen Jekyll and Hyde. It seems like AO members are the most militant outside of AO. Its funny observing folks thrying to out Pwn each other. Frealls, Mag Thumpers. I cant say if the overal view on the mag has changed, but ive seen more tarnishing of the AO community than good, due to simple gunbashing. anyway, thats my soapbox time.

[elpimpo]

[Carbon]

its always good d00d

I love these midnight fireside chats Carbon. We could also go a different direction and discuss illicit drugs and how great it is that they are a new banner under which we can rally

Actually, I see what he means. Militant is the word. For some reason, an ungodly amount of AO users are super defensive when it comes to their mags. If someone says, "Mags are OK, but I think this gun is better," it's like they've said something blasphemous and everyone's got to jump up to defend their honor. How DARE they say anything negative about the sacred mags?!

There's always good, level-headed people at any forum (even PBN has a few), but there's also always a lot of f-tards wherever you go. Timmy forums are immature, AKA forums are full of smart parts bashers (even before the death of the viking), AO is full of defensive militants. Sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason... because they're proved.

The gun bashing does hurt everyone's view of AO. If you're a gun-basher... maybe you should reign it in. AGD is a good company, and all you're doing is sullying the reputations of those who wield their markers.

Seems to me someone has not been around here long enough to be making that exageration...

AO is probably the most multi Marker tolerant forum out there. But perhaps your prespective is a bit small since you not been around long enough to notice? Oh yea there is a crowd of zealots anywhere. With any marker. But here its certainly not an "Ungodly amount" as you seem to feel confident enough to proclaim. Hang around Seminole and see....

I've been here for two years, cphilip. I mostly lurk this forum, though.

And it's not as evident when you're around here... like the OP said, you see these same people go to any other forum and the behavior is magnified tenfold.

Yea I can't control em anywhere else.... But I find people tend to be a bit defensive about Mag bashing. Thats certainly true enough. There is an extrodinarily large amount of it from people that never owned one. So Maggots tend to get a bit overly defensive about it. And perhaps get a bit over "talkative" about it rather than just demonstrating the untruths. So I can see that is likely something that goes on at other sites.

[FSU_Paintball]

I can certainly verify that there's an excess of mag-bashing elsewhere because of he-said she-said and/or old stories and new misconceptions. And I know you can't control what other people say elsewhere

[cphilip]

Yea well its gone on for decades now but some people just don't seem to know how to handle it. Some of them get too emotional about it all. Most of its just smack talk and they overreact to it.

But maybe some of them are just trouble makers that happen to have mags. We have yet to develope a screening process for buyers to elimate the arse holes from owning them!!!!
