Oh now chicky, don't get your feathers in a wad...

You may be right, Ed and his clan are probably really good/decent
players, but his post just came off as not so good.  Maybe I was a
little hard on him, but then again, maybe it made him think of some of
his actions a little more.  Or maybe he read the first 2 lines and
thought I was rubbish and trashed the rest of it.  To tell you the
truth, I didn't get a response from him, so I don't know.  It's always
good to have people compliment you on shots and to acknowledge when you
compliment them.  I wish there were more people like that out there. 
However, his question did not automatically start off as a witch hunt. 
I answered his question the best I could, then I just elaborated on
other replies to his post after I read them.  IMHO, when you team up on
FFA servers (no matter what the consequence) is lame.  Now, I'm not
saying if everyone starts gunning fo the llama on the server cause he's
being an asshole is lame, I'm saying that if you and I jump on a server,
and we start talking to everyone else to go and kill FrankRizzo cause
he's a llama, now that's lame.  If we just all suddenly start gunning
for the same guy then it's not premeditated, it's premeditated team play
on a FFA server that is lame.  However, if other clans were teaming up
on FFA and you change skins to what they are wearing then you're not
teaming back up on them, you're just giving it to them where it hurts,
and that is valid IMHO.  It's when you have a clan teaming up on a FFA
server and you and your clanmates start teaming up and don't kill each
other either, only the other clan, then you're not any better than the
clan you're trying to kill.  In essence, FFA is Free For All, so you
kill anything that moves (or stands with their face in the corner from
what I played against last night), not for you to pick and choose your
targets.  If you wanna play a team match, go to a team server.  God
knows there's enough of them out there.
