The Wild World of TB!

So as promised, it is time to add a little meat to the sauce. I am of course referring to putting out there the reality of the website and the people behind it and the fact that the only reason so many people are for it, is well they are using all the "right" words that people want to hear. But let's get on it and see if the thinking people still agree with the thoughts.

So let's move on shall we? As I stated before, Pam "Cookie" Robertson, is the 'owner' (I put that in quotes because technically Viper owns the site legally since he used his name and such to register it). Now why have some of you never heard of Pam "Cookie" Robertson? Well that's simple, up until the end of last year; she had never picked up a paintball gun and played a scenario game. However, she has now played two 8 hours games and the Grand Finale and is now an expert in scenario paintball. Oh wait, PB Woman is for all grades of paintball that includes woods ball, rec ball and tournament ball. And of course she is an expert in all of that.

But TB, she never said she is an expert. Ahh, she doesn't have to. See as the owner of the site (Much like Ed Rieker's punk ass) she will get to be known as the 'PBWoman" Even though I have been told that her skills are below sub-par, even for a beginner. Seems she grew up on too many Viper legends and how he used to be the man. What this will equate to is 'status' and that is one of the things that the owner of any popular forum can get. It is one of the issues I have always had with Mods/admins of forums getting their asses kissed when they showed up on the field. I mean no one vetted these people; the PB Mods really suck, for the most part, at playing paintball. They aren't that damn great at being a Mod on PBNation either (Don't believe me, take PBWoman and Viper's words for that).

But most people, especially those who might not have played, are going to assume that her advice has some merit, the fucked up part is that her advice comes from other fucking people she has spoken to over the years or she can always look over the desk and speak the true source of her knowledge, Kerry 'Viper" Rosenberry. Now, I must admit, that Kerry has done a lot in scenario paintball over the years. But the game of paintball has also done a lot for him. Most everything he gets is free or close to it, and he makes his living at putting on games. If he managed his money better, he would be having a nice car and a nice house I am sure. But it is either feast or famine with Viper (or did you really think that he wanted to help 20 players out with super early pre-reg prices?). But Kerry doesn't have a fucking clue what challenges women face in scenario paintball. In fact most of the people he is talking about coming up to him are people associated with paintball to start with. Or they were brought to the game by other women or they are established players who talk about their first time playing and the challenges that faced them.

But regardless, Pam has no experience to fall back on. And while that may not in and of itself be bad, who the hell is she to pick who the PB Woman of the year is? By what grade do they hold women accountable to? If you read their rules, as I pointed out, it is all relative to whom she likes or who is in favor. But what that award truly is a way of playing politics. It is a reward to people who will support her/Viper in more than just a PB Woman website. Have no fear that the PBWoman website will be holding Viper is a very high regard. , in fact there are several posts already about that if you are smart enough to read between the lines. But what promoter's schedule is stickied up there? Viper and Sherwood. Now Viper is on all the forums and on several there are allot of promoters listed, ( http://www.pbjunkie.com/forums/2010-scenario-schedules-222/ ) and that is just one site. Oh he allowed some others to be posted up, like OK D-Day but considering what Viper really thinks of Dewayne and his safety amongst the smallest issues, I am sure that is all politics. Oh don't get me wrong, that story will be coming to be sure. But just realize that Viper really doesn't like to share, even with Wayne (regardless of what he spouts in public). So why is that? Why are those the only games listed for all of the PB Women?

But back to PB Woman of the year, I think I posted out that Diane of course isn't eligible. But there are others. How about Barrie "Nudi" Reid? I mean, most people who know her would say that if there should be a first one, she should be in the running. What are the reasons she isn’t there? That’s simple enough, envy. Pam envies Nudi her skills, her position and the respect she has gained in her 8+ years of playing and well over a hundred games and her multiple awards. And she doesn’t want to be out done on her website by someone of Nudi’s stature and intelligence posting and keeping things really neutral. See someone like that is a threat, when she could be a huge asset as a shining example of a superior female player, she is relegated to outcast status because she isn’t ‘eligible’ for Viper/Pam’s little award.

But Nudi isn't eligible because of me. Cut and dry. See Nudi isn't banned anywhere and for that matter neither is Thunderstruck. But I am sure that I am included in that 'team' being banned clause. So that also disqualifies my daughter. It isn't like Pam likes her either, being the bitch she is (Pam) she likes to take anything and everything out on people associated with me. So my daughter gets lumped in with me and her issues with me, my young gun daughter at that (Wait a minute, I thought the only thing that Viper cared more about getting women in the sport, was getting Young Guns in the sport, oh well). So I know for a fact her PB Woman isn’t got shit to do with helping women or getting them in paintball or showcasing women’s talent in the sport of paintball. It is a highly personal and political award that will give the female player that they choose the 'Viper" stamp of approval. And while they may say that the female player can travel to other games, they will steer that person to fields of their choosing. In fact, it is probably a safe bet that the female player might be offered the 'marketing' position with Viper. But how can you say that you are for all women, when you pick (based on personal likes or dislikes, not real qualifications based on merit) who can be involved in your little website, award and club? You aren't trying to better all women with real people who can mentor them, you want people that think like you or that you can control.

Don't believe me? Take a look at what Viper said on PB Nation; "Those posts would simply be deleted and the posters given their one warning. A second demonstration of attitude will get them "uninvited." and if you think that that will only apply to boys/men making vulgar comments, you have lost your mind. I didn't post anything negative on Viper's website and like MXS before him, he deleted my account. LOL, go back into a lot of those threads and you now see guest where once I posted. His argument was simple, I wasn't welcome in his community, and much like the VIP game, even though I had done nothing to warrant it, and he decided what was best for me and his forum. The PB Woman forum will be the same. We shall see the first time someone sees the bitch that Pam really is and takes her to task, that will be some funny ass shit to watch. And those that are stupid enough to think I am a mod this or an admin that or a valuable part of the community, realize that the shitty people that they are, they will use you to get credibility and build the site up and then they will shuck you like a used condom after a 3 dollar Tijuana whore.

And how the hell is this website, going to bring in more women for paintball? If you look at who has posted it is people who are established women in paintball, or people who has a boyfriend in the game or a husband or a brother. They have already played, this isn't growing more women in paintball, and this is growing a power base to control women in paintball. Or is that just TB being the negative nelly here? As Kerry loves to play behind the scene politics, this is right the fuck up his alley. Oh he can say look at the sponsors, they would never support something that was bad. Really? How many teams claim to be 'sponsored' by a company? Only to find out that they are sponsored because of their field or friend who owns a store or some crazy shit like that, People like press, and the truth is, even me posting all this about the site is good press, if you believe the old adage there is no such thing as bad press. But what is the plan to get 'new' women into the game/ I mean fuck Viper owns a production company, he could throw in a bring a woman to a game day. You know waive entry fees, sell paint for cost+$5.00 and such as that to get them out. But that would cost him some fucking duckets and well he isn’t going to go that far.

But in the end, there is still more fucked up with that website and the people who run it. But I am sure that more of that will come out when the red is licked off the lollipop a little and some of the people have departed. Not to sound stereotypical, but women are too fucking catty to be all buddy buddy all the time. LMAO, wait a tick, cat fights are cool to watch, this might be a good thing after all.

And this video is for both the biological one and the metaphorical one!
