"despite your reasonably anonymous internet footprint" and "never did I state I've even looked at your profile"

Anyway, at least obsess over TF2 6v6 class limits instead. Only if we had a thread for that...

Wait, do you do this to everyone you talk to? Do you follow people home to know their address? After all, it is technically public information; They shouldn't have let you follow them.

No. I didn't use my qualifications to make a point. Nobody asked or dared you to act this way. You and the others chose to act this way. First step for getting help is accepting that there is a problem. Being called creepy for this should be a wake-up call.

No, that's not normal. Please find help. This is textbook obsessive behavior. A healthy mind doesn't think like this. Please find help. This is not a personal attack, I am not mad at you; seriously, find help now.

It's easy to accidentally do something that comes off as creepy or weird, especially if you have difficulty understanding social interactions.

Lot of information like social media accounts, friend lists, game reviews, full names, addresses all may all be technically "publicly available," but that doesn’t mean it's appropriate to dig into any of it.

You're not coming off as a cool detective or uncovering some big mystery. Nobody will ever find this type of behavior attractive or witty, no matter what the reason behind it is.

Don't get me wrong, it's fine enough to research a person or just be curious. But trying to win affection - or an online argument - with creepy behavior has exactly the opposite effect.

I like a lot of things, you wouldn't know about any of that by creeping around my profile. That's why normally people have a conversation instead.

It's ironic to criticize my personality when you're doing this type of behavior. Take your own advice, creep.

PS: This is a fairly noncontroversial 6v6 discussion thread. Take a walk and really think about how creepy you are for randomly going into someone's profile with express goal of finding dirt on them.

Then it's most likely just a bad day. We all have those.

you jest but amount of bongclouds by top chessmasters has slowly increased over time. funniest shit I've seen

thanks, almost replied to the eu esperanto mandate troll. This community is full of creeps and weirdos.

TF2 is difficult to balance because either:
1. We are all entitled or elitist pricks.
2. TF2 balance is complicated.

I chose 2:

Seems like you had some dissatisfaction with my choice. I don't think you guys are entitled. But you can always disagree, that's fine with me.

Maybe you quoted the wrong part? Your reply really comes off as you insulting everyone present.

If people disagreed based on playtime, that is a sign of mild alexithymia.
I really hoped people didn't disagree based on playtime
I really hoped people didn't have mild alexithymia.

Alexithymia is a disability to form opinions. This is what you first described; Claiming most opinions here were formed on my playtime or steam reviews.

These quotes show failures to grasp basic language and previous definitions.

You seem to lack the reading skills or/and the ability to do deductive reasoning. I don't know which it is or if it's both. Always possible you were just tired or have a reading disability, or just a bad day. Nonetheless, I hope we can discuss this when you get better.

Completely agree.

This is incredibly good point and well expressed.

I would probably only add to that few things:

- I don't think all specialist classes are made equal. Heavy, pyro, and spy are completely fine in my book and do not slow the gameplay too much even in 5CP (unless both teams are incompetent)

- 5CP is a very brittle gamemode, and I don't think you can claim any of it's shortcomings as format issues. TC (that is just 6cp with rounds in between) would probably also stalemate very easily, but no way you'd say that's a format issue.

I am glad I didn't use my TF2 account here, this community is wild. Not in the "fun party which you remember nothing" way, but in the sense I would probably not awake tomorrow way. I really hope the community doesn't only agree/disagree based on my playtime or my address, that's just sign of mild alexithymia and probably some spicier mental disorders.

Triathlon anecdote kind of went over everyone's head. The "sports" are meant to be classes. I thought it'd be obvious: If you arbitrarily choose to slowly remove some classes because they are not what you find most familiar/skilled/enjoyable, that's not a healthy competitive environment.

The playstyle didn't naturally evolve. Double medic was banned and then... it stopped. There was still overcentralization, the same thing preventing double medic metas from growing, but the only difference, some players liked it. That's not healthy competitive environment. Imagine an alternative reality where double scout was banned instead, because the community would find that more fun. Does that reasoning sound competitive? Hopefully not.

I don't really get what you're trying to say here. Balance doesn't really mean much when playing symmetrical maps. I have been pretty much only been discussing competitiveness. It is fine to say 6v6 shouldn't be competitive - And I would have to partly agree with that; It's hard to keep seriously competitive for the reasons I outlined before. As you said, 17 years of a competitive scene - and where is it now?

Then I really hope you never find children annoying

Alright, thanks for the warning. I won't be doing that. TF2 is pretty much perfect in my eyes.

I am not telling you to stop self-reporting, it's way better for everyone around you to know you're a creep and you should probably keep doing that. I am glad you're helping in keeping your communities safe.
