I was apparently uninvited from the community for "legal actions" which Dave says "i will not talk about it openly". This is interesting as I have never made any legal claims against him, only posted a negative thread about one of the ops i attended at his field. This thread will likely be deleted but its copy will be pasted on www.lonestarairsoft.com/showthread.php?12232-Uninvited-from-Kookaburra-Field&p=90394#post90394. Where it will be discussed openly, as adults, as is proper. Also: I think you forgot to actually ban me Dave.

At one point I was a very active LSA player and never of the forum but the community there has turned into a bunch of jerks who dont welcome new players snd only want elitists and the forum has turned into a place to just bash on people and complain. Which is the reason I dont even associate with LSA anymore. Now there are a good account of respectable LSA players but theyre highly outweighed by the negativity and disrespect from te "superior" members of LSA who think they run the sport. Its an unsafe rude community. And this us coming from an Austin player.

This whole list of banned people that Crazy Dave posted out of the blue and the way it's been handled (ie locked as soon as someone made a comment that did not parrot the "party line", with opposing views posts deleted) is pure comedy gold.
xxrabitxx, I joined the LSA community in early 2003 and have been an active member there on and off since then. While I agree that it does have issues and a zealous enforcement of a code of conduct on the forum can turn people off at times, I think you're mischaracterizing the community and painting with too broad a brush. I suspect you are buying into the "party line" of this forum. Crazy Dave got himself banned from the site after repeatedly violating some simple rules and he still holds a grudge. From what I've seen, his knee-jerk and misguided anti-LSA/TASO attitude mirrored by the (largley young and inexperienced) community here. But that's a whole other subject...

And the fact that any post that any post made on LSA that says anything positive about KHF or Dave is immediately deleted (not locked) doesn't bother you in the slightest? I'd post evidence, but it's difficult to correlate with content that has been deleted. However, I saved the link when I COULD see it: www.lonestarairsoft.com/showthread.php?12188-temple-airsoft-(Kookabura)-1-28-12&highlight=temple+airsoft+%28Kookabura%29+1%2F28%2F12but you will likely find that page inaccessible. ", you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: 1.Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? 2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation." Talk about hypocrite. For the record, I do have an active account (I can view the entire forum accessible to normal members) For the record, your accounts were frozen to prevent deletion of past posts. TR - your account is still perfectly fine and active. Those with frozen accounts (I forget the names, two of you, your cousin and his daughter or something) have been allowed to make new ones and post freely, as seen by the fact that lily was capable of making that post.

First off id like to say I've been an active forum member and LSA player since 2005 so dont assume I'm falling into the "party line". I've personally been mistreated by several of the members on this list as well as other LSA senior members so I will not hesitate to say that as a whole LSA is given a bad rep by several of its players. While a vast majority of LSA mergers are my friends and are great players the negative players of the group give LSA a bad name which is the reason I support Dave in the way he runs his feild and the decisions he makes regarding Lonestar and some of its players.

Come on y'all, let's let it go. If we can't all just get along, then let's go our separate ways. The people in Austin who don't like the Temple field, wont go there. The people that don't like the Austin field, wont go there. The people that don't care, and go to both places, will, and it wont matter. The world will keep spinning, and life will go on.

This is a unnesscary thread honestly. This is trolling food waiting to happen. If you don't like CTAF or it's rules don't post. Same goes for LSA postings. All the drama would cease if everyone just left each other alone. Not one person is made to play at a certain field, you choose to go to whoevers respective field it belongs to and adhere to their own rules, simple as that. Everyone can preach on and on about safety, rules, hit calling. Face it, you will always have misfotunes as such to those at ANY FIELD. While each field will resepectivly try to correct it's own actions. Again this post was not needed, and any other one on LSA isn't needed as well. I'd advise all the CTAF players to not get into a keyboard warrior cockfight. It isn't worth the time or effort. We know there are those that dislike this field and other fields alike. We know who we support, and for the players that will have a biased interpretation of the field that has never been. Just invite them out, simple as that.

Why are you saying something that is not true...demonstrably so? Here is a recent example: www.lonestarairsoft.com/showthread.php?12229-Risk-Temple-AirsoftYou see that thread was not locked, deleted, or even filled with negative comments. Hell, I've said some postive things about the field on threads at LSA myself. Would you like links to those as well? Look, I have nothing personal against Dave or his field. I also don't think he's willfully malicious. I just think he goes off half cocked, acts without thinking at times, and otherwise shows poor judgement. (of which is "banned list", consiting mostly of folks who publicly disagreed with him and nothing more is a classic example...) I like the field and am glad it gives the local players a place to play without too much of a drive. I just wish his personality did not get in the way so much of the time. I'm also amazed that many of the folks in this community do not find the fact that Dave is misrepresenting the situation a reason for concern. Finally, I am a bit puzzled as to why I got missed in his rash of banning around the time of the Reforger OP. I was just about the only one who expressed a negative option who is still here. I can think of at least five people who were banned for doing so. TR

TR I think the reason you were not banned is because you were not disrespectful to the players. Several but not all of the people banned for stating their opinions went on to curse and or verbally assault CTAF members that tried to defend Dave.
