Cphillip/ other mods..

[Brian68mag]

Let there be a State of the Union reply thread. I see no reason we can not discuss something that happens only once in awhile and involves and affects every single one of us.
I feel it is important to discuss and personally i would like to hear others reactions about it. Plus this is a Off-topic forum for non paintball related things, not a off-topic forum for non paintball and political realated things.

Thanks.

I agree totally. But it wont happen.

Not gonna happen.

You know I would LOVE too! But it seems there are just enough immature people here to spoil it. They always do! I do not know why. I realy would love to discuss it all. But it just does not ever happen. Its realy a shame that everyone has to suffer for just a few trouble makers. But it is one of our rules and they never make a rule unless its a result of a problem.

On that note did you know that in the NPPL rules it says not to fire Paintball markers at hang gliders? Now you know they just didn't come up with that on thier own. SOMEONE DID IT! So they made a rule.

Sorry but you will have to find another forum for Political discussions. This is not going to happen here and its not our fault it cannot. Its been tried and always fails.

Rules: We don't make em... so don't break em!

118 replies, and still very civilized... of course now that I brought it to your attention, it'll be closed! doh!

Should have been closed but I missed it...

Plenty of name calling in there. You however and some of the others I am proud of. It's not you but...this kind of thing is uncalled for:

"Let me start by saying :Mods's don't be jerks and close the thread because you don't like the debate going on, that'd be real mature "

That kind of thing makes me mad. I am just doing my job. I do not have a choice. Its not popular but sometimes you have to do what is not popular for the good of the whole group. Sorry but closed it too.

I know the feeling Phil. But I got to do it in the real world. I was an RA at school. Did it suck that people, some of which we my friends & fraternity brothers, get in trouble? Yeah. But it's my job to enforce the rules. If you choose to break them, then it's your fault.

So I feel for ya. And I'll buy you a sympathy beer in Pittsburgh.

There is an excellent and largely unmoderated (ie. political, racial, etc topics allowed) "General" forum there.

WARNING: The complete and total immaturity that is regularly exhibited by members here doesn't get tolerated at IPR. Prepare to defend your ideas with more than name calling.

AAAAAAHHHH!!!

I knew it! But I figured, hey, its a thread with 118 replies! There's NO WAY he hasn't seen it! Heh... now I'm going to feeling the pain knowing that I caused the closing of a good thread (in my eyes...).

Sorry guys!
