Banned for Being a Team Player?

So I just got banned from a random TF2 pub, for trying to enforce team play. Before I begin, I know, I know, what was I doing on a random server and not priming TPG? But sometimes I like to just mess around on arena servers, since they never get played here.
So I was playing soldier on this random arena server and ran into an interesting situation. I got into an argument with a combat medic, who also happened to be the owner of the server. I was trying to explain that while combat medic can be useful (in survival situations), healing is the primary objective of the medic and that he should leaving the damage/killing to a more effective class like mine. He then went on to say that he didn't care and that he bought the game/server to have fun and do what he wants. I tried to reason with him and said as the owner of the server, he should be enforcing team play, since its in the name of the title and everything. I was then berated by the other people in the PUB, saying that I was being disruptive and arguing for no reason, shortly after I was banned for being abusive.
I'm not at all surprised by the events that took place and its probably very common on many other random PUBs as well. I just found the irony too funny, because if this had gone down on TPG, you know I would have kept that shit Sukka Free in a flash.
So let this serve as a reminder to everyone, about how lucky we are to have TPG.
