You know I ain't got no prob with ya Duplex. But i do remember a time before you started being demo all the time and used to not be so good and would come on and seem to be pissed off at random times and people would be fighting with you (I remember one especially with Dragonforce Changed My Life, where u kept calling him a d*** rider).

And I've definitly seen you calm down even more in the last couple weeks and are more focused on the team winning, even when that one lame sniper kept calling you a fag in game on badlands and I was surprised you didn't say anything back negative

But yea I can understand from people's perspective's as to why they don't like you spamming the mic, etc. I'm sure if they worked with you on the mic though and had a mic of their own, this wouldn't be that big of a deal. Cause I remember recently me you and Enforcer all working as a team on Steel and see if there would have been another engineer with a mic then we could have easily have got E.

I don't really feel any malice from you Chief, nor do you have the ego that Duplex has.

When he gets bad, I just mute and ignore him. Simple, really.

It's moderately easy to ignore chat text, but not open threads like these where it screams FLAME THE RECLUSE

Whew, I seemed to have got a few more replies here. I'll try and keep it as short as I can...here goes. Ok, first off...Omega, where do you get your weed from? Because what you said is completely contradictory...observe.

I salute everybody who actually reads Duplex's shit.

Ok, so now we know you don't take the time of day to read through my entire posts. I know, they are sometimes a bit lengthy and you don't want to bother with reading through all of it. You probably read the first few sentences and move on to the next post. Thats all fine and dandy...

In every paragraph in this thread it has been the same thing:

But wait...I thought you didn't read every paragraph? Please insert your foot ever so firmly into your mouth. Now normally, I'd go on and say, "if you don't have anything intelligent to contribute to the thread then don't post" but then, why bother

Fides I'm glad you're mature enough to see how simple it is to solve this equation. Sadly not everyone can solve these "complex" situations as easily as you can I can. It takes them just a little while longer, but eventually they'll figure it out, or so I hope.

It's because you get under people's skin more than anyone else. You don't think that there's something wrong with the way you're acting if people only do this to you? Do you really think people talk shit because of your mad skillz? Think again. You're pretty abrasive over the mic and that's a shame because you've also shown you can be a pretty cool guy at times.

Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with the way I'm acting for the most part. It would be different if I was forcing you all to listen, forcing you all to suffer. But I'm not. Fides said so himself. If you honestly feel that I'm robbing you of your gameplay experience, then quit complaining about it and do what he did. I can't help that I get under the skin of others. You know there are things that people say and do on the server that beneathe my skin too, I just ignore it, I don't let it get to me. I choose to be constructive as I see fit, and I'm sorry if you have different views on what is constructive and what is not. Because as I've stated before, there have been many who have added me on friends when all I've done are make statements about stupid engineers and such. Again, some people can tolerate it, some can't, some learn better, some do not.

But you can't assume I'm like this with people I interact with on a day to day basis. Heh, wouldn't that be a site to see? But in all seriousness, what the lot of you witness is an internet exclusive deal. Believe it or not, outside of TF2 I'm actually a pretty cool person. And there are only a hand full of you TF2 players who get to see that side. And I like to keep it that way. Because my life doesn't revolve around TF2, although some like Hell-met like to think otherwise. But shh, we'll just let him wonder :wink:

But you know what, now you have my gears turning. I think I'll take you up on the pug idea. Last game I've competed on was CS 1.6 and I'd imagine its not too different from TF2. Sure, different objectives, but the same overall goal: win. I have the next few days off - I'll look into that and get back to ya ;P

its because you write in such an inanely stupid manner that I can read the first two sentences and accurately deduce the rest of the content. It is because you are a shitty writer and just repeat yourself four times and call it a paragraph...

EDIT: I just read through that last post and was completely right.

Really now? Heh, in both high school and college I always got A's on any of my writing assignments. But I guess you're a college professor who knows more than my instructors.....right?

You're a funny guy :roll:

I said in my other post that I already muted you. I'd been reluctant to do so because you do say some important stuff about what's going on in the game. I'm not really complaining. I guess I just took from your initial post that you don't completely understand while some people dislike you and I figured I'd let you know why in the event you wanted to change. If you don't that's up to you and you're certainly not ruining my game experience.

I believe it. Hell, if we were to meet in a different setting we'd probably have a beer, smoke a bowl, and shoot the shit. But me and the majority of sourceop will only ever know you from the internet so that's what I was specifically addressing.

It's quite a bit different from pubbing to say the least. When I started playing competitively it was... humbling. Teamwork trumps everything. Pugs, and even after that scrims and leagues are definitely stepping up a level and you seem like someone who's up for a challenge.

your professors just skimmed your arrogant douchebaggery like everybody else and passed it to prevent every having to see you again.

Next ITT: We somehow passed college without learning that there is a difference between grammatical accuracy and actually writing something to have an extended point.

I wasn't saying that you had bad grammar, I was just saying that your self-gratifying blather has no actual depth, and your point can be clearly analyzed within the first sentence, and therefore doesn't need to be elaborated on.

I know its bad joojoo but QFT.
