Not disagreeing with anything in your post relating to THAT guy...

For real newbies the wait at pit, looters get your stuff before
you do bit can't be expected to be known. If it happens then
the average person having no knowledge of cf or maybe even muds
in general would likely assume douchebaggery and maybe a one off
instead of 'Hey this is how it works'. Maybe more like a fantasy
world version of 'Dude you know not to wear red walking down THAT
street!'. Heh.

As a side note I STILL sometimes sit at my pit and wait.
Then again I die... ALOT!
