These are two e-mails i received tonight from the Blight. We have discussed this in the past and told him the reasons why we don't discuss it. Some times the wording of different languages can get in the way, but i think it was clear enough. After having it explained again on the last post i didn't feel the need to say it over. I have not responded to him and probably wont. i will say this has been the nicest email i have got from him. Chewy

To me

Just one more thing I forgot to say. What I meant about that I dont live in the US and why I should not even care was that spudguns would only be banned in the US and why should I take that over me? Why should I care? well I did. So it was not about being sewed and if you guys got sewed. Just forgot to say that.

So if this was pushed through and someone was to blame, I would indeed take my part of it.

To me

Bill; I have allready straightened this out with freefall and you have all missunderstood what I meant. Maybe you should have asked before you opened your mouth? And the topic was locked before I could explain. How nice to not be a moderator and be made an ass of.

I was not trying to make it so that we could talk about shooting people. I think it is fair that the topics are locked, but there should be added a little more information befre this is done. I see that you do so in some topics, but not all. Some times it is just locked before the information is given.

An example would be that the mod says that the person can search on airsoft/paintball sites and talk to professionals. If he is interested in spudguns, he can check out the newbie section where he can read on how spudguns work..etc. Combinding these will give him enough information to make a safe paintballgun / softgun if he still wants to. You could even hand out a link to a good paintball/airsoft site with some information on it. This way you have not directly told the person how to do it, but still he has gotten the information and should be able to make it safely and you cant get sewed.

And Bill, I have not at all been trying to push through this rule and I have not read anything directed at me regarding this. Please, if you have seen or written something to me that i have not seen, show it to me. I simply correct missinformation when someone say that a spudgun cant be made to shoot at someone safely, because it can. I have made one and it has been checked on my local paintball field.

The next time I have a suggestion for the moderators, I will just shut up. It was just a suggestion! I was trying to make it more safe for spudguns all over the world by giving the newcommers some more information about shooting people. This way some of the accidents could be avoided. Maybe a kid or two would still be able to see at the end of the year instead of being blinded by a paintball. And now I see that in the US you just got to hide in a corner and not do anything or else you might get sewed for trying to help.

So tell me Bill did you not see any logic in this?

If this continues, I will not come to spudtech any more. As I said. Just a suggestion.

If all else fails, resort to brute force and awkwardness. If it dont fit, force it.
