I made myself look dumb.. Really now? Let's see who's really the stupid one here (tip; get your mirror ready)..

"lol 'then change your custom URL'..'you can only change your custom URL, not your steamID64', thanks tips!" - You butchered my words and removed the context of my sentence by ignoring the sentence after that (which is intrinsic to my whole statement) to try and make me look stupid - my last sentence gives meaning to "you can only change your custom URL, not your steamID64". I said what I said (so, the comment in its' entirety) to make clear that your earlier sentence of "it is possible to create an account using a valid account, then change your custom URL so SteamGifts won't link to it" was entirely untrue and illogical.

I just tested this by changing my custom URL from "oni_shinobi" to "testingthisout", and the link on my SG profile instantly linked correctly to my Steam profile, with the new "testingthisout" custom URL. Go ahead, try it yourself. The way Steam works, is that if you haven't set up a custom URL at all, it defaults to showing your profile permalink (which contains your steamID64). When you do set up a custom URL, it doesn't display your permalink/steamID64, but your custom URL. SG links to your permalink, which the Steam web API automatically translates to your custom URL - that's why my test worked..

SG uses your steamID64 to identify you / synch. Not your custom URL. How the fuck would that even make any sense whatsoever? People can change their custom URL at any time. How would syncs still work, then? Why the hell would SG use an impermanent, user changeable variable in its' database, rather than a unique identifier that's permanently linked to your account - steamID64? The sheer lack of any logic in your thinking is baffling in its' absurdity.

You are truly one of the most obnoxious, and idiotic users on the forums. Calling others stupid, when you make such enormous leaps of incredible idiocy in your argumentative tactics and reasoning. Trying to remove context from my words thus effectively removing my whole point to try and make me look dumb like a child cherry-picking words they hear, when your entire reasoning to begin with was so ass-backwards stupid, it hurt my brain. Go play under a bus, man. For real.

And this is a perfect example of how you make yourself look like an unwarranted twat. You say something absolutely stupid and wrong and then rage at someone who corrects you by saying they're the one who fucked up.

You weren't rude, and you handled the conversation well.
