Newb IS an insult. Newbie is not.

It depends on the context of what is being said; who's being spoken to, and by whom. If I walk up to a man of color and say "What up, n*gga?", I expect to get my ass kicked. If a man of color says it to another man of color, there is no issue.

Context.

That said, I call a spade a spade (or, as the case may be, I call a newb a newb). If someone doesn't like being called a newb (or moron, idiot, asshat, jerkoff, or other colorful titles) and is insulted by that, they should feel free to speak up. Around here, however, I find most titles are earned.

Personally, I prefer FNG as my title of choice. That or Bloggins.

If he is afraid to sell them, so what? Does it hurt you? The mans livelihood is on the line. Do you think he rather not sell airsoft products and make more money? The man is clearly afraid to, hence him doing what he did.

He is one of the most honest surplus store owners I have ever met, and though his prices are not always the 'best', he has never tried to mislead me in what he sells, even to the point of discouraging me from buying items he felt were not of good enough quality for me to use.

Basically all he does is tell me that airsoft is now totally illgeal. He's having trouble getting BBs into the country. I'm not even going to question his honesty, considering that he always insists that everything came in just yesterday/2 hours ago. If you ask my team they can vouch for similar expericnes. He has misled me many times and has said that buying off ASC is super risky and more expensive than buying off him. The fact that he thinks charging $40 for a stock TM spur gear that he got left over from a few years ago baffles me.

Finally if you have issues with me Please do it through PM.

Haha, having trouble getting BB's into the country? Lol.
I call shenanigans. Or just pure bullshit.

This question confuses me.

[Cortexburn]

He misquoted the length of some flec pants I got off him and he charged me PST. I havn't been back. If people have issues with any merchant...don't give them buisness.

The guy at DMZ only cares about $ and won,t even give you the time of day if there is no ,money in it. I strongly suggest that you stay away from there store. Besides he is way to expensive.
