Most disturbing thing I've seen on PBN in a while

[peewee]

I don't think that there are many states that have attempted to group video games into the category of "firearm" I've been in paintball for way to long & seen a bunch of instances where states, counties & cities have tried. That's in very poor taste. All you need is some anti gun people get a hold of those pictures & start raising a ruckus. If that guy was a rep for my company he would be looking for a new job. I contacted the pbn admin to please delete the thread.

Forget it, they are too busy shielding their precious macdev rep.

Yeah, its unreal. I am unsure if it was on purpose or not, but last time I reloaded the page only the offending pic came up. What a bunch of richards.

So much for moderator impartiality

I bet he attempts to hold it sideways and shoots himself in the foot someday.

What a bonehead.

well my money speaks for me. I wont waste a dime on that company. I dont care how great or cheap their gear is.

Wow I really started a fire over there. Its a shame as it wasn't really my intention.

Thanks to those who came to my defense. I appreciate that there are other people mature enough to consider the results of such a thing on a PB site frequented by kids.

i dont see the fire. is it in the thread that is linked to or what?

You all take this wayyy too far. Honestly AO, you guys are usually sensible about things, but going off at James is nuts. Not many people browse the macdev forum, it's just for kicks with the people that frequent that forum. I'm a regular there, and yes, kai keeps the forum under a short chain, I've had numerous posts deleted by him because he favors macdev so much (he's really helpful, but protects the macdev name quite a bit), but that's just PBN, but everyone else is fine about stuff. Chill out guys. It's just a cool looking pic, not supposed to be taken seriously.

Just chill guys, PBn sucks as far as mods go (I still <3 you scott) but the pic is meaningless and you all are flipping over a small thing.

The truth being Macdev makes top quality stuff, and I support them because they have awesome customer support, and are awesome people.

You guys think one pic means everything the company is about, it's not. All I can say is just chill.

You guys say that and then you have this smiley.. whatever chill out

Is it just me or did all signs of controversy just up and "walk" away?

Yep. Any reference to "non-topic" posts were deleted.

Ya, that post was made after my comment.

And Steelrat, I'm not getting it. So far my best guess is young Hispanic clam...

Not yours, the post above mine. You know, the one where he says "chill" about 10 times.


And now Doc has chimed in over on PBN. I fully expect Kai to delete our posts again, once he is done cleaning all his free macdev gear.

[Arstron]

I wonder if Docs post from this morning will be deleted? I didnt get to read the thread before it got "censored" but I gota say it was nice hearing doc voice his oppinion.

-Personally, I'd say the presence of the firearm, real or not, in a post concerning paintball gear, is very much "on topic".

In my opinion- as a gun owner, mind you- putting it in the photo was pointless and stupid. It doesn't make the fellow with the mustache look "bad" or "gangsta" or "agg" or whatever the popular phrase is, it makes him look like a twit. Like the woodsball guy that shows up with facepaint and a bayonet.

Censoring the board won't help. But you'd do us all a favor- including MacDev- if you replaced the photo with one without the gun.

Doc.
