    Comparing the date of the entry with the age of your account, my impression is that you named your account after the already existing term but maybe I’m taking this far too serious

      Nope, it is me from the early 2000s when I apparently annoyed this person on the official Counter Strike: Off Topic Forum (OTF).

      I originally came up with the username for the Counters Strike leader boards my friends and I used to compare how well we were playing back around 1999 or 2000 because I needed a unique name, and stuck with it because it is always available. For example, when steam launched in 2003.

        That’s an impressive story. It reminds me of how we know some ancient persons only because someone was pissed enough to leave a written document (and mostly in stone or clay)
