The Wild World of TB!

So as I wrote about a few days ago, the person behind the website PBWoman is far from being altruistic as she likes to make out. And before any of you people male or female start spouting off realize this; my best friend in the world is a female in this sport. She is one of the most intelligent commanders I know and I have followed her on more than one occasion. She is very good at anything she does from taking a mission card and getting the job done to shooting that person in the face if that is what they need. She has played in tournaments as well as more scenario games then most of the people who are on that website put together, not to mention won as many awards as they have played games. And you want to know how many were for Most Valuable 'Female' Player? NONE!

On top of that, I have a now 18 year old daughter who has traveled this country and played many a 24 hour scenario game. In fact, her call sign is G2, which is short for Generation 2. That is how much I think of her, that she is better at this game than I can be and she still is learning. She also has never won a 'female' only award and turned down several young gun awards, because she wants to be a paintball player, nothing more and nothing less. One of my most proud moments was her beating me out of the running for a MVP. So before you start spouting off about me and what I think of women in paintball, know that you don't know a god damn thing about me or my family and friends.

Now with that said, let's explore this farce of a website and what 'those people' (Cookie and Ratsnake) are saying that it is. I'm here to pull back the veil, as only TB can. So you two can choose to ignore this all you want, feel free to run in and make changes on the forum when I am done, and by all means attack anyone and everyone in the hopes of catching whoever is feeding me information. I simply love the fact that you can't sleep at night worrying about what the mean ol TB is going to post next.

First and foremost; let’s take a look at the mission of the website, shall we?

Hello to all new members,

My name is Cookie and I am the Administrator of PBWoman.com. The website was formed out of a common goal of female players in paintball to have a place where they can find mentoring among their peers.

The sport of paintball has been predominately male in the past. There is a growing interest in paintball from women nationally. We hope to provide a place where they can come and learn. The goal is to further the advance of women in the sport of paintball. We do promote the concept of an All Women teams, but do not feel it is necessary to separate women from men, but to equally play along side.

I am personally very dedicated to this project by donating my personally time and money. I would like to offer my heart felt thanks to all the volunteer women moderators and sponsors of PBWoman.com. They are donating their time and sponsorship with the same goal in mind.

Please enjoy the website, come back often and let your friends know about us. Help us reflect the number of female players everywhere.

“A common goal of female players in paintball where they can find a mentoring among their peers”, wow. Ok so let's look at their statements on PBNation shall we?

From Viper: "That sort of "She's a woman, so she's stupid" attitude is probably why she has created a female-friendly forum."

From Cookie: The attitude by examples posted from some of the users above is why we felt it necessary to create PBWoman.com

From Viper again: They are simply trying to create one place where female paintballers can go and not have to deal with immature playground attitudes. I browsed the forums there. It's all really positive, actually.

From Cookie: Last of all, I am not trying to convince anyone of any cause, motive or feminist issue. There are forum topics on PBWoman that you might not find on most PB forums. Women's health for example...Sorry but we have to deal with pregnancy, periods, menopause, breast mammograms (women have to have those to make sure we do not have breast cancer), and other such things that may effect our playing ability. I can only imagine the responses from the males on most forums to those topics.

From Viper: The way it was explained to me they aren't really focused on segregating women into their own teams, but they will help promote all-female teams.

From Cookie: If you don't like it, be you male or female, then don't go there, and don't create a user account like many have done already. But all the hatred is just ridiculous, and much of it clearly illustrates the attitudes of many males toward female players. PBWoman.com will simply be a forum with a little tighter enforcement of attitudes.

And Finally from Viper: PBWoman.com is simply offering another place that female ballers can discuss things that will have a little stricter reinforcement of conduct to cut down on the testosterone-driven BS like "stay in the kitchen make me a sandwich." It's, very simply put, rude and counterproductive. Those posts would simply be deleted and the posters given their one warning. A second demonstration of attitude will get them "uninvited." What's wrong with women having a place to discuss paintball without the juvenile schoolboy BS?

So in a nutshell, it is rather simple, Ratsnake and Twinkie thinks that Ed, his mods and admins and their thousands of users are troglodytes with keyboards who only think that women are good for cooking food, cleaning house and making babies. The funny thing is that they state that Ed is 100% behind this other forum, there has not been ONE forum that PB Nation took as a threat that they allowed to remain on their forums, much less “troll’ for their users. The battles between PB Nation and MCarterBrown are pretty funny? Should I bring in Tech PB and PB Nation? And none of those people said anything worse than the above statements by Ratsnake and Twinkie.

Now if that isn’t the truth in their words above since that is what they state, allow me to postulate another theory. One echoed by Pam in this post:
If you wish to read PBWoman.com in full please do. Taking snipits out of context and twisting things around to find some hidden secret plot to rule the world one website at a time, is just plain funny. All questions have been answered. If you have any others please feel free to contact me, if you can't find the answer your looking for on PBWoman.com.

I haven’t accused you of having a secret plot to take over the world, but one of the main intentions of PB Woman is to provide an audience for Ratsnake to influence people and to help pay for his and Twinkies shrinking lifestyle since as we all know his games are shrinking. Don’t believe me? Here let me point out some things.

Let’s start with a quote by Viper;
Yeah, I sponsored it. I fail to see the point. I dropped over $300 out of pocket for the forum software and domain registration. I think this is a great project, and will be good for the sport. The sponsors, whom she contacted and acquired, are all excited about it, and think it will be great for the sport.

The truth is that it doesn’t cost over $300 for a website if you have all this industry support. It isn’t like that website is all that really, but then again you have fucked over several people who work on websites so it isn’t like they are lining up to work on this site any more than they would on Viper Scenarios. But you wouldn’t put that kind of money up without a sense of return. Very similar to what you wanted me to do with Commander’s Intent, if you remember. You wanted to use that site to influence people who are known commanders into why your format is better than format X and to build a cadre of commanders for your events as well as deter them from attending competing producer’s events and feeding them from your liberal agenda.
That’s right Ratsnake, I said liberal, look it up, and you like to claim you are a conservative but the only thing conservative about you is that you like guns. You want people’s money and you will lie, cheat and steal to get it. You might not do it in the open, but you do it.

From Viper: The worst thing about the Internet is the lack of accountability. I sign all of my posts with my name because I am willing to take credit for what I post on the Internet.

But then again you will get online and defend this website, which you claim you have no interests in other than hoping to get women in to the sport. You have devalued people, you have accused them of being me or being influenced by me and you have worked to change people’s mind more than any ‘sponsor’ should or would. I mean where were you when Smart Parts was being roasted? Or Tippmann? Or anyone else associated with you? You didn’t have any money or interest invested so you stayed in the shadows. Lack of accountability Kerry? Really? Have you been accountable for your actions in the last 5 years? I don’t think you have. But that is another blog to be sure.

But let’s look at the statements above shall we? Why would Ratsnake care so much about this website? To bring women into the game? Or to bring women into his game? This Segway into another part of this post, one that Twinkie changed after someone brought it to her attention and made it as it appears to be. It is for the PB Woman of the year award that they are also trying to say is a good thing.

First and foremost, they require the recipient to attend the Viper Living Legends 3 game. Now I don’t want to hurt CPX, but Ratsnake eased his way into an easy payday with this game and minimized Wayne Dollack to do it. But still, let me guess the woman that they choose is going to be put up on the stage and dallied around while all the men pat her on the head and tell her the good she is doing for the sport. And that is supposed to endear her to male players? That she is put above them? Fuck, they don’t like it when men are done that way and they are going to take it from a woman?

And she changed this last night after someone took her to task on PB Nation, but at first they were requiring to attend at least ‘PB Woman’ Sanctioned events. I thought that they were just trying to get women into paintball, not direct them where to go. But she didn’t change it by much.

The woman who wins is also required to support and pimp the sponsors of the website. That would include Viper Paintball, I can see her getting Viper Swag and when she attends other select promoters that they then try to let her in for free, promote Viper events as being much better than the current event.

Yep, you read that right, another thing she wants to do is that this person plays for free, just because some people got together (and Twinkie isn’t qualified) and decided who the best woman to promote her and her website is. Nothing to do with playing ability or anything else, just who is the best face to do what they want. Kind of goes against the whole we just want to help the girls doesn’t it? Seems to me to just be another type of exploitation.

You want to know why Twinkie doesn’t want lookers? Because according to her there are two kinds of women in paintball; the cupcakes with guns that men ogle over and fat ugly ass women like her who couldn’t play paintball if her life depended on it. She wants to be coddled and looked down own, simple because her self-esteem is so low, I am sure she is about one good insult from an all you can eat KFC buffet pig out.

On top of that, she then went to say that she wanted non-confrontational women, that’s fucking priceless coming from one of the most confrontational women I have ever met. I don’t know how many times, your own man told you to shut the hell up and let the paintball players talk because your ideas had to be some of the most retarded out there. And this was in public, and now you are putting yourselves out there as the happy happy couple? What the fuck ever! How about women who have won more sportsmanship awards than you have played games? LOL!

Nope, that gets summed up with the next one. That neither you nor your team can be banned from an event or a field. Why would you hold a woman accountable for the actions of other people? Oh I know, to remove people who deserve the award based on merit vs. your chosen and hidden agenda. But whatever, every female I know, doesn’t want a damn thing to do with you or your disgrace as a website. Although a few said that they would run the hot water or hold the razor for you, if you wanted to move forward with those plans.

And then the last thing that was removed is that you reserve the right to refuse any nomination for any reason. Why would you say that? It couldn’t be to once again exert some control over the person who should be nominated vs. who you want to be nominated and win right?

I am going to stop for now, stay tuned for part 2 of this expose on this joke of a website. It isn’t a joke because it is supposed to be for women, it is a joke because they sold that clunker to you. You know like the used car salesman who preys on women that they think won’t do their homework.

Well Ratsnake and Twinkie, I plan on putting more up about this website and the word is spreading. And most everyone who has contacted me has agreed that they see right through you two ass clowns and your little farce. This is for the people that even you have called Sheeple to read and make up their own minds.

More in a few days, we are going to let this chili simmer some before adding some more ingredients.
