Sometimes it is not funny at all but it is public so what.
More disgusting are those typerulers with bad manners who offend player cuz there new or bad.

I've played a few times over the past couple of days against people who seem to delight in shit-talking saying 'pwnded' and other witless, moronic nonsense.

Coming out with it once in a while is OK. It's also OK if it's done in a jokey way or is meant to be amusing but these idiots seem to want to be nasty and aggressive.

It's annoying being at the top of a server and everyone blaming you for unbalancing the teams when if you changed the teams, it would unbalance it the other way. It takes players lower down to make the difference. Before I've been leading an unbalanced TDM game where everyone blamed me for making it unbalanced so I kept swapping back and forwards mid game between the teams until I'd got the other team back up into the lead before switching again.

I really only enjoy matches that are close in score and skill. If I'm on a team that is winning 200 - 30, I usually don't enjoy it.

The biggest problem with team balancing is when the teams have an equal number of players but the players' skills are unbalanced. When this happens, I can't just switch teams because one team will end up with 2 more players than the other team. Instead, I will either try to play through to get the map to end quickly or I'll just F3 and wait for the next game in hopes that the teams will be balanced.

This problem with team balancing has been discussed numerous times in IRC and on the forums. The conclusion that keeps cropping up is to have the server decide teams based on the scores in the last match or two. That's not a perfect solution, but it's at least a improvement over creating teams at random.
