Tom Insulted!

[pyrodragon]

My two shops stopped carrying AGD like 3-4 yrs ago.

"Its dead, nobody buys mags anymore."

yeah that's why i bought a mag last week. when you make a product that is so good that doesn't need any improvement or upgrades you tend to lose out over the course of time. also look at it this way, Tom is the only company owner/former company owner (that i know of) that is active in forums for the gun he sells. a mag is a mag and will be a mag forever.

How about the fact that Tom was insulted by his very own community not a few days ago? How about someone gets pissed off about that rather than make some stupid joke thread like this?

Dude, TK had a good reason to. He asked for a favor and got slapped in the face. But I don't think that TK would get upset about being called cocky. He has done more for paintball than this guy can possible realize. However, if its a battle they want, let's give em' a war!! Chuff Chuff, for old times sake.

I missed that whole event. What happened?

[MaD_SaM]

I missed it also, what was the favor?

The person doesen't know what he's talking about. It's pretty obvius.

Let him piss and moan, he's not hurting anyone.

Most of us missed it due to it being a sticky. Tom thought it odd and very unlike the AO he knew that his request was ignored. It was brought up that most of us didnt see it from it being a sticky, not ignored, and some people insulted Tom for his expressing disappointment with what he thought had happened.

Lol thats what my local store said too, when I asked if they had any mag upgrades they all just burst out laughing, even the owner of the store came out and shouted: MAGS ARE DEAD SONNY! GET WITH THE TIMES! Out with the old shoes and in with the new galoshes!

I said it on the post that was deleted, and I will say it again. Why should we give well wishes to some guy we didn't know?
Would it make you feel better to have someone "send you a card" because someone else asked them to do it? And by the "jib" of the second post made them feel obligated to because of guilt?

I am sure that his posting it will get the word around to the people that the info pertained to, and they will send appropriate sympathies.

Actually paintball is like nascar these days. Speedball is the nascar of paintball. Take either sport (paintball or racing) and stirp it down to pure speed and not much skill. How much skill does it take to walk the trigger? How much skill does it take to always turn left? Its all about woods ball and rally racing. They both incorporate every aspect possible for both sports.

That comparison shows how little you truly know about each sport.

you should have shot him with your old Flexi-Flyer and told him where to stick his new ostrich eggs

well, while i agree it is easy to walk a trigger, and it is also easy to turn left, it was a pretty bad comparison considering those two aspects of each sport is such a small part of what it takes to be successful.

speedball 4EVA!!

p.s. nascar's lame

Well now. Ignorance must be bliss. But that's not what the conversation is about.

My take on the TK event is this, based off of what I've gathered: While many of us may have not known him, it couldn't hurt to offer your best wishes. I don't know what Tom said to you guys, but I assume it was pretty harsh judging by your reactions.

Tom is like our Idol practically, we all respect him, RFL! Respect for Life!
