ok lets try this
« on: February 23, 2009, 06:06:39 PM »
all of you guys out there giving me flak, sorry for the misunderstanding, i must have mis-worded a prashe or sentance or something to that effect
so again i appologize for anything that set you off or whatever
i came to this site to chat about airsoft
i've been told/ read that you get worse sh*t in the corps or in the force, but frankly thats not what this is.
sorry, i thought this was an airsoft forum
not a navy seals forum
so seriously, i've been told to mature, but all i'm trying to do is put up a deffensive, everyone out there to to get me, you are the ones dragging this out. just drop it like i've been trying to do and lets get on with this

I appreciate the honesty, and the want to begin again.
Here are a few pointers:
Don't make new threads, just read and read and read. It is pretty easy to get the general feeling of people on this site toward certain issues, by reading similar posts. If you really have a question, send me a PM. I know that the search function is difficult to use, but most of us that have been on this site have it figured out pretty well, and have good memories of what is here, just ask.
Don't put up a defense when someone gives you criticism, and do not lash back. Take the criticism as constructive and move on, if you want to think differently that is fine, we got that from your first post. If you feel strongly that someone has wronged you, ask someone about it in a PM to a higher ranking person.
Get to know people on the boards, not on the boards. There is so much to be gained by going to the Gearbox and introducing yourself to those of us that frequent there. Often the tone in which we speak in posts seems blunt and harsh, in person we have more time to explain why we feel that way and how we came to that opinion, that is not expressed in a paragraph.

Most of us are keen at being bullshit bloodhounds, I am not military and make no qualms about being anything but a guy who maybe has done a few neat things, but I can smell it when someone is spewing out BS, mil or not. DO NOT LIE, airsoft is as much about being honest as it is about throwing plastic bbs at each other, you will be exposed whether you know it or not and reputations stick.

thanks i appreciate it, and i must say, in the last two or so days i've tried to say that i'm done researching and all but no one takes it so i tried to show my appology and still it was rejected, i tried to say sorry snd say that i'm trying to restart but still, there are too many people on here with massive ego's, so my hat's off to you, i appreciate your offer alot  :mrgreen:

real quick i'd also like to say, i dunno where i lied, if it sounded like i did, it was probable cuz my mind wanders when i type, and i get mixed ideas
on the subject of the cops, nobody called them, one time they were checking the water treatment area and stumbled on us on their way out, and the other time we were walking home, i thought i had metioned that

All of this is not wholly aimed at you.

Also, when you post more than 3-5times a day you come up on people's radar and are more keen to rough you up. Take a back seat for a while and chill. The more you post the more the buzzards circle.

I 2nd what ganef said. And I will admitt that I was one of the few that started to rough you up a bit in the beginning, but trust me it was nothing personal. Theres been tons of kids that have started out the same way you have on this forum, and the sooner you get straightened out the better because it makes it easier to get along with everyone later on. So like ganef said the best way to take criticism is constrictive and learn from the more experinced around you. But I will admitt there are some pricks on here, alot of them noobs that lack the maturity to keep thier criticism constrictive and make it personal or just take the opportinity to be an ass.

so if you truly want to make a new start on here take mine and ganefs advice and youll be set. And remember, this is a forum but the main purpose of this site is an information source and should be mainly used as such.

You dont have to go underground. Just understand that when people give you their opinions and you telling them to shut up, they will attack you back. If you said something stupid or thats BS and someone raises the BS flag on you or tells you that you are wrong(if you are wrong) then just accept it.

Also its generally in your best intrest to edit your posts rather then to double and triple post, most everywhere(and im sure here) its against the rules to do so.

Just dont say much that will get you flamed(which you have posted quite a bit of flamable materials)

Other then that respect those that tell you that your wrong and you will get respect in turn.

Anyways welcome to the forums.

I know i was giving you some shit but it was for a reason. just remember too that sometimes all that criticism is to try and straighten you out. I took a lot of flak when i was beginning and i thought everyone just had it out for me.  I found when i started to listen to that criticism and tried to correct my ways it helped me out. its not that we hate you, we are trying to get cretin things threw. So don't take to much to heart. just take everyone advise here and you will be set. However with this all said and done, i don't think that this completely releases you from the things you said, and the way you acted.  Your gonna have to earn your respect here. And i'm not talking for everyone here, they may think differently.  However it stand with me.
