In my experience you're the perfect example of the Sticky Jumper/Caber behaviour he doesn't care for either.
Sticky Jumper-ing to the enemies forward spawn on Badlands and standing outside with your caber primed (rinse/repeat/apply to different map) is not something I imagine many people, beyond yourself, appreciate.
I would also like to respond to the claim that taunting discourages people from coming back on server. Its nonsense really otherwise i would not have to wait half an hour to get on the server to be humiliated by taunting huntsman sniper.
Your deduction falls down when you take into account that HH2 is a Quickplay server (i.e it gets fed traffic.)
I can understand that people get annoyed by being tauntet. However, it's just a game mechanic and the obvious answer then is simply: Deal with it. I really don't see how moderating peoples behaviour, if its not abusive or against the rules, is ever a good idea. Especially considering that now we have arrived at a point where people suggest that some loadouts are not fun for them and should thus be 'banned' too, because their way to play the game is the only way.
If you want some serious TF2 just go play a lobby (you might get lucky and catch a decent one), find yourself a 6's or HL team, play MGE or TDM, or signup for the FightNights Sam is organizing. The possibilities to play comp are there (even within this community), if you feel that pubbing doesn't suit your style.

But... how dare someone play in a way that the OP finds displeasing??
"I don't like when people use voice overs like thanks or nice shot after I've missed a couple shots and get killed. I think this can be very off putting to new people to the server so you should definitely look at disabling voice over lines too."
I can see that voice commands can be used in an irritating manner. (Note that Dazed is a huge fan of this practice too. Add it to the list.). Personally, it doesn't bother me all that much because I have legacy Medic aim and there are times when a little mocking is justified. Plus, it's funny when he says it and ends up dead a moment later, or even mid-sentence.
Your assertion that v/o should be disabled. Was this serious?
If it was, then maybe you could create your own thread to discuss the issue. Based on my experience here, I imagine you'd be similarly ridiculed for your opinion. I'm not sure I'd post in that thread, but even if I strongly disagreed with you I'd refrain from posting something that was willfully ignorant of what you'd said, mocking in tone, and clearly only for the amusement of myself and my friends.
If you weren't serious you should know:
A.) I have never requested that taunting should be disabled.
B.) You're a troll.

Re: Taunting
I think Linc was making a point using sarcasm, which you've done yourself in this thread. Better to just respond to the point and not get distracted by their attitude.
I think people just like to attribute the actions of others to me.
I don't really say much on the server at all.
I'll call out a bad map, and maybe react to some of the things mentioned in this thread. Little else.
Yet apparently I'm a monster.
Well, somebody on the server said you were pooptf2, or maybe I misunderstood. I still don't know your name. I didn't even know you're still playing until you opened this thread.
