Open Question, tactics Options

Usually I don't care how people play, be it running and gunning or sitting and waiting. This last method of play is what this question, or rant, is about.

Earlier today I had just joined GoodFellas and the map was Remagen. The Axis, my team, was getting their asses handed to them when a player named CUBANRANGER started calling Epacy and Cypher hacks. I told the player that they were on Missionary and could not be cheating. After all, Missionary players should watch each others backs.

CUBANRANGER's tirade continued for the rest of the map and into the next one. Epacy had taken his usual position in the house off the alley and was dealing death to everyone foolish enough to go near it. Stalingrad was next.

CUBANRANGER was coming unglued at this point. Meanwhile, I had gotten lucky and fragged Cypher twice in the bombed out building with the plank. Cypher asked Epacy for help with a camper. I was thinking it could not be me.

Well, I was shot trying to go for the stairwell as usual. So I went down to the boiler room. Usually I do set up on the top of the stairwell for the inevitable snipers going for their perch, but this time I was moving to another position. Epacy came in, shot me, and asked if my player had legs. Perhaps I wasn't moving fast enough to provide him with a challenging target.

The next map was Algiers. Epacy set up in the alleyway behind the room with all the beds and proceeded to butcher anyone stupid enough to venture by.

Here are my open questions to everyone: What is the difference between camping and taking a position covering a high traffic area? Is it wrong?

My answer would be none. It is not logical to run around the whole time and get shot. "Camping" is part of the game. Be it sitting on a spawn point, covering an alley, or guarding a house. Learning to deal with it only makes one a better player.

I do realize this is a long post and most of you have played here for a much longer time than I have, but I am really tired of comments such as the ones above. I know I have a choice of servers and that if I don't like it I can leave. This not about Epacy's witty comments. I would just like to know everyone's thoughts on the camping issue.
