. I have always wondered how a Cashier at Family Fare in Paw Paw would run my business. Maybe you should wonder how a seven year airsoft veteran who has been organizing events for about as long would run your business. Also, nice try at a personal attack, however John is now the manager at a Papa John's pizza place.

Yeah, isn't John a manager at Pizza Hut? Papa John's would make sense though...
However, whether or not a flag was made in China or Korea or Iran doesn't matter. It's the American Flag. When I held flag retirement ceremonies, every flag was retired honorably and the ashes buried in their own memorial regardless of whether or not is was made in America.
You can go to Menard's or K-Mart and pick up some cheap flag with a leprechaun on it and use that.
And, I agree with Knife, the video needs fixing up.

Hey man, I'm not here to cast the first stone. My only problem with the video is, as everyone has mentioned, using our national colors as a means for your enjoyment. Could have been anything else in the world, but you chose to use that which shows you have some bit of patriotism so your head is in the right place. Good initiative, bad judgment.
Also personally attacking Canto is not only going to make yourself look like shit, but it will make your team look like shit as well. I'd take that into account before making your next post here on MiA. Majority of the guys here know me personally and know that I type 90% of the time before I think about how it'll affect my team and I'd like to think regardless of that fact majority of people hold my team in high regards when it comes to professionalism and overall good group to be around.
Long story short, don't start attacking people and speaking for your whole team, because I'm sure there are people on there that would gladly give up leaving your team to save face and to avoid being on the Event Hosting "Black List".

It sucks.

I think my anus leaked from reading that, hilarious. Poorly written, but hilarious none the less.

Bill (munster), you are hereby banned from ALL Armory Airsoft events. Here's why: "gay hating"... That is a direct insult to the entire gay community. I honestly don't give a fu*k what you say or think. You have disgraced the reputation of MIA by this alone, and this is not the first time I've seen this sort of thing come from youl. Any Airsoft of Kalamazoo members who wish to argue for or support this, you can be banned as well. I don't know about everyone else, but I will not stand for such ignorant intolerance any more. Not like you'd attend any of our events to begin with, but frankly I don't give a shit.

Wow. I take a moment away from here and this happens...
Alright, first things first...Munster. For the love of all that his holy, please...please please please please please; shut the hell up. I know that general consensus around our boards is to avoid the the bullshit, but this doesn't help our case in the slightest. Don't play into the baiting.
To those who feel offended by the fact that we used a United States flag as a tool for our enjoyment; fair enough. Your comments have been noted, and quite frankly I can concede the point on that one. Fact of the matter is, it was an impromptu instrument because we needed something to play during the rec game and capture the flag came to mind. We didn't have too many arbitrary cloth items to attach to stick, so we made due. Our fault. We'll take your concerns into mind for next time, I can see how that can be offensive.
To CantoXII and glassarchitect; good job on jumping on/taking advantage of this particular moment to wave your collective dicks around. I'm not saying what Munster said was right. Really, I'm not and I'm embarrassed that our organization was represented in that way because of what he said. That being said; No one, on our team, or who plays at our airhouse, gives one flying fuck about what you say. Oh, you're going to ban us from an Armory Airsoft event? Holy shit, you're actually going to host one that isn't going to be canceled? Congratu-fucking-lations. You're really moving up in the world. I think it's pretty safe to say that no one on our team will ever even bother trying to go to one of your haphazard, shoddy events anyhow and likewise you will probably never come to ours. The only reason you ever even showed up at the airhouse in the first place was to try and "acquire" it we were still young. You've hated us from the beginning simply because we were direct competition. You're hypocrisy is sincerely fucking astounding.
glassarchitect, Jager, Andrew, What the fuck ever you go by now; please stop pretending you are so offended by what Munster said. I know you, and I know the only reason you're doing this is as an excuse to show others why we are inferior. Munster might be about as politically correct as the WBC on crack-cocaine, but he is only ONE of many who represent and attend the airhouse regularly. Do not, for one second, lump everyone in with one person's opinions. As a former friend, please, just stop. It's getting pathetic. Also, yes, you can edit video. Not all of us have had an extraordinarily huge amount of time to spend jerking off in from of Final Cut Pro. No need to be a fucking dick.
When did Opdoc come into ANYTHING that was being said about our video? Did you bring that up just to bait and be a douche? Really, what was the point of that? Who fucking cares? Was he in the video? Did he even comment in the thread? Anyone who brought him up is just trying to bait. Plain and simple. Someone on here mentioned that we have a 'holier than thou' attitude, and yet someone on one of the most respected teams around here decided to just talk shit about him AGAIN out of pure, unprovoked spite in a thread that literally had NOTHING to do with him.
This things we do, the games we host, the reason we do what we do, is for the advancement of airsoft and all of those who enjoy it. The downside is that there are so many people out there who would use this sport as something solely to fill their own pocket. There's money to be made of hosting events, but that is NOT what it's about. CantoXII, and the vast majority of F.L.A.K. leadership have lost sight of this. Do you ever wonder why we fucking despise you? We're the sort of organization that if we get short changed on a roster, we'll STILL host the event purely because there are those who want to play, even if we lose money in the process. We will NEVER turn anyone away, no matter how fucking terrible their grammer might be. If they have an interest, we will show them the right way regardless of how badly they might get on our nerves.
Airsoft is a way of life. We don't ever get it right the first time. We are always learning, and trying to improve. I remember when MiA was like this. When I signed up in 2003 initially (on a different login, I misplaced the old info many moons ago), back when Hado, Bigmack, Munin, Veritas, Warmonger, and all the folks who founded the forum were still heavily involved this was an absolutely wonderful place to learn from, even as a complete newby who knew jack shit. It's since turned into a grammer Reich, which seems to almost get a kick out of turning people away because they're computer illiterate. My grandmother is computer illiterate, and if you talked to her in the way you talk to some people on here I'd punch you in the fucking dick. Just because someone can't type worth shit doesn't mean they won't be a good example of an airsoft enthusiast.
Moral of the story here; Munster, just stop posting on here. We get it, you hate CantoXII and glassarchitect and the vast majority of MiA. Got it, moving on. I'm not a big fan either, but MiA is still a huge part of the airsoft community.
Canto and Glass, stop. Just fucking stop. You sicken me. From one former friend to another. If you don't like a thread we start, THEN DON'T COMMENT ON IT.
MiA members who were offended by the flag usage; we'll buy some damn towels. Our bad.
EDIT: I realize I use way too many commas. I type the way I talk. I hope that isn't an issue.
Mods, I implore you, please delete this thread. All of it. The legitimate issues about the video have been addressed, and the thread has since spiraled into fucking garbage. It is my greatest hope that someday the Michigan Airsoft community can unite. But until then, we'll do our own thing, and leave you folks to do your own.
I need a goddamn cigarette...

I'm just adding this to make it clear, because Glass's wording was a little confusing. Munster has not been permanently banned from MiA. He apparently won't be welcome to team FLAK/Armory Airsoft hosted games, and that's something up to that team. Glass doesn't have the authority to ban anybody from MiA, no section moderators do. Munster will likely face somewhere between 1-4 weeks banned, with a warning level bump. I haven't decided what combo of the two is fair for that garbage avatar text. But he won't be permanently banned for it, that's for sure.

Psh... if Biggie was still an active mod here, he'd have settled this by banning half the posters in the thread. When I talk to Munin about MIA, he asks if we've banned all the idiots yet. Those better days you long for were not better if you weren't in good with the mods, and 3/4 of those mods were one big GK posse.
