'entirely' true?
Bang your head?
Not really,


Seems like a really sweeping statement though, doesn't it? You agreed "entirely" to a pretty unreasonable statement.

Also on your other point, I'm not sure we disagree at all here - I really just said that it seems (I took care to use the word 'seems' to avoid any direct accusation) those who enjoy multiplayer as a competitive scene are usually the ones who kill me when I'm doing stupid things. Anecdotal obviously but really all I ever said was they (those that follow MLG - I doubt I've ever actually played anyone who plays competitively unless they were naff or I'm far better than I think I am) differ in their mentality to me. Not a bad thing per se, just something that makes me prefer not to encounter them when I'm not in an overly competitive mood.
My approach doesn't force anyone to change how they play normally, but if you're being overly competitive you do inhibit the scope for arsing around.

On consoles, MLG has the most recognition

That's because they're the only ones who really care to put money into console gaming tournaments as well as marketing. When it comes to competitive gaming you have a wider audience with the PC gaming crowd as most of the console audience are the extreme casuals you people hate so much that laugh at the notion of people playing games for anything other than a recreational hobby.

It also helps that console developers are spineless for the most part

I don't so much hate MLG, but the masses of obnoxious preteens that pretend to be somehow affiliated with them. Eventually, you start to hate the organization just because that is the type of person they attract, and the rabble of morons is who ends up speaking the loudest on their behalf.
