The only correct response (if you are feeling retaliation) from someone
obviously well brought up, as you are, would be to be infuriatingly
correct and polite, if slow and cautious rider. Neither paint ball guns
nor vandalism have a place in our sport, though fantasizing may help, in
which case why stop at that? I usually think about bazookas, AIM
missiles and TNT implants, all the while being as polite as Jeeves the
butler.
