The gentlest of reminders

[TheTempusFugitive]

Thanks to everyone who commented on here, as a result I won't take it down, yet

: P

-Tempus

[bewarethelizards42]

*shakes head*  Some people. Tut.

[TheTempusFugitive]

Fine. It stays. Happy? : D

[bewarethelizards42]

When am I ever happy, eh? :P

[TheTempusFugitive]

Whoooa no you don't get the last word on this one!

[bewarethelizards42]

This, Tempus, could go on for a very long time.. :P

[TheTempusFugitive]

Well indeed it could, but then again, it could end when you like.

[bewarethelizards42]

Which of us is more likely to get bored first, do you reckon? You forget, I'm older and more patient. You young fly-by-nights have no staying power.. :P

[TheTempusFugitive]

I don't need to be patient or even here, I've got all the nonsense automated. It's a new windows program, 'Auto comment'. So please, do carry on, I'm currently enjoying a beer down the local.

[bewarethelizards42]

You are so immature. Honestly..

[TheTempusFugitive]

I know

[bewarethelizards42]

Dont think I cant see through your ploy to gain additional views and comments. It's a cheap, cheap trick Tempus.  You should be ashamed of yourself. Ashamed.

By commenting further, you admit to this cheap, trollish trick. That's all I'm saying.

[TheTempusFugitive]

Ah now that's an old trick, appealing to my moral centre. You forget I am an atheist & by definition I have no morals. As such I shall comment on MY video for as long as I please.

Now let's see if you have any morals ; )

[bewarethelizards42]

There's something wrong with you.. you are pathologically unable to not get the last word. Sad, really.

As for morals, I do have them. Which is how I know I am on the side of right. Fact.

[TheTempusFugitive]

Thank you for the diagnosis, but then you would know all about habitual psychosis, Ms. 'I am pathologically unable to talk without umming and erring.'

Still, it's good to know we have something in common.

[bewarethelizards42]

Us? Something in common? I'm not buying it. You dont even like cheese. That alone makes us practically different species..

[TheTempusFugitive]

Well I think we all know the standard definition & method of establishing different species. Shame there is no way to test your hypothesis, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you're right.

[bewarethelizards42]

That comment made me laugh so much I have decided to let you win. You can have the last comment Tempus, you earned it.. ;)

[InfidelAvenger]

I, too, ask that this not be taken down.

[DonQuixotedeKaw]

A vebal hug. Art, that is not an artifice.

If it hasn't been said today, welcome home.

[InfidelAvenger]

That background music -- remind me what is it called, again?

[AncientAtheist]

Nicely said. Look, it's not easy to do, but if you can take the good at face value while largely writing off the bad and not giving it a reaction, things tend to work out. This is especially true about trolls.

I can't figure out why it means anything to them, but it does seem to be the case that they live off of, feed off of the negative attention. Take away the negative attention and they tend to move on towards better feeding grounds.

[theqmogvlogs]

I agree with thoughtfulatheist, Don't take it down. Its true like any real neighbourhood this one does have its idiots but out of the thousands of people I have come across here, some as merely viewers or video makers others subs and commenters, I too have met about a few real friends, awesome people who have really made it all worthwhile.

[miksedene]

Well said.

[dewonthegrass]

2:17,"Let's just try and see some more smiles", he says... and... doesn't smile.

[ThoughtfulAtheist]

I really dont think you should ever take this down. Its a wonderful message, and its displayed beautifully.

I too have met a number of good friends here, yourself included, whose friendship I value greatly--often times more so than the acquaintances I have in my day-to-day life.

[bewarethelizards42]

Yeah TA, I met loads of nice people.. then I met you and it all went down hill.. ;)

[ThoughtfulAtheist]

likewise...im gonna go kill myself now...

[ReverendAtomSmasher]

Well said Tempus. Thanks man.

[ExaggeratedElegy]

Beautiful, beautiful work. Chalk this up as a vote to leave this video exactly where it is. Sometimes I think we need this kind of reminder. I know that I certainly do. And I agree; there is beauty, enlightenment, friendship and many other spectacular experiences to be had here on the Tube. It's just a matter of sifting through the shit to find the diamonds :)

Regards,

George

(faved, obviously ;) )

[Vogter2100]

Love you to mate :-) And it is meant in a very manly manner LOL

[lc237]

Thank you for that. YT has been important to me. I've learned a lot and it has been cathartic as well as energizing to have a forum to express myself more openly than I do ordinarily.

[ChelseaHysteria]

This was a wonderful message and I'm happy that someone sees the brighter side of things. The music was beautiful and fitting. What is the song called?

[TheTempusFugitive]

The song is 'Any other name', it's from American Beauty. Oh & thanks for the comment : )

[TheMysteriousCorner]

That was nice.

Dayum, that music was fitting...

[tattooskin72]

All I can say is thank you for the reminder :)

[ReverendAtomSmasher]

I love this guy. He's so cool.

[bewarethelizards42]

Please let this stay up, it's beautiful, I love it.

I wouldnt give up YouTube for the world (as silly as that sounds), I've met the most wonderful, gorgeous people here. It's saved me, in some ways - before I started making videos I was a little bit lost. I've be found now though.. :)

And you can see me smile anytime, you know that ;)

[nelliediddle]

That was a beautiful reminder, and I agree some of the best people I have met have been here.:D

[juliandeathgod]

..... and I agree, you can certainly make friends here on YT.

[juliandeathgod]

Well said.

Is that "any other name" playing in the

background, fitting ; )

[TheTempusFugitive]

Yep.

[TheAtheistSwede]

I can only agree.

[defcore108]

This should stay up.

It's beautiful.

[Horseplay71]

Thank You Tempus. That was lovely.

This place is such an interesting "world" but absolutely, outside of it, we are humans with lives, I hope. Feelings, ego's, frailties and responsibilities.

I'd like to know the person in the shadow of "TheTempusFugitive" however under real circumstances, don't reveal him here - it's not such a nice place for real people...

Take care.

[TheTempusFugitive]

Yea, that sums it up pretty well. Thanks for the lovely comment.

Take care? I'll try to : )

[Horseplay71]

Not implying you need to ; ) Just a simple salutation-type thingy. Bit twee innit!

[dewonthegrass]

You make very good points!

Surliness and grumpiness suit you, but your smiles (few that they are) lighten up my day. :D

[TheTempusFugitive]

I'll try & conjure up a few more smiles then : D

[dewonthegrass]

Conjure away :D
