An excellent summation Sir. I was not aware of the situation and have not yet watched the videos. I was never subscribed to TPP and doubt I ever will. The community has fractured beyond belief in the last 10-12 months, and many of the best presenters have stopped making or only make rare videos. I am sorry it has come to this, but you had to stand up for YOUR rights and did so in a civil and professional manner. Every action has consequences, and TPP has just encountered his. Best regards
I watched this video and had to flinch at the plethora of ironies and stereotypes that are inherent in the story and are so well laid naked. I am glad to see that the PolishPiper was affected in the same way and has posted an apology video. Hopefully future “humor” will show a tempering due to your words. This was a brilliant show of logic, humanity and justice. You are a man of action and honor. It is for all of our best interest that the community remain based on respect.
Gustavo, I'm very sorry that you and the Polish PIper had this problem. I don't think he knew where you were coming from. I'm not sure you know the whole story of what has been going on which prompted his mocking video. This problem between the two of you has been the worst thing to come out of the actions of those three people and their elite group. I've always respected you and the way you roll on youtube. (as a gentleman) I see TPP has offered his sincere apology,
@SmokeRingsPipeDreams Kel someone has to call you out. This community is finally getting to a place where we are letting go of this horrible animosity and in fighting, and this is the second comment on -what I believe to be- an important video helping the rest of us to move towards peace that you have made an instigating remark. Stop it. Grow up, be a man and move on with the rest of us to a place where we treat each other a little bit better.
@reverendmbrewer Brewer, I don't want to hear any more from you frankly. Your video about prom queens was disgraceful. Your dishonesty with me was disgraceful.
@reverendmbrewer I guess what I need to do is make a very long video calling YOU out on your behavior and how you have consitantly defended bad behavior. And how you conned me in your emails to me pretending to be just a concerned pipe community guy. Instead of what you are, which is a toady for mike. I could have some respect for mike doing what he wants to. But you??? You are just sad.
@SmokeRingsPipeDreams Kel, if you do it, people will see exactly who you are. I didn't con you. I've never been dishonest with you. My concern has been immensely sincere. Believe me when I tell you that you don't want to go here.
@reverendmbrewer Then why didn't you say who you were right up front? (instead of pretending to be something else) Why did you make a video calling those being harrased with thumbs down weenies? Why did you make that prom queen video blaming the victims who had been harrased. (by Mike) Again not being honest about who you were (one of mikes people) (all to pave the way for Mikes return and to start this shit up all over again) You're a real peach you are.
@reverendmbrewer I had dropped all of this and wanted it to go away. Until YOU began making videos defending mikes bad behavour and blaming the victims. You are the most unethical youtuber I know.
@reverendmbrewer And you're such a pho ny, you start shit with me on this video then you apologise to Gustavo as you attack me? Whew, dude you need some serious therapy.
@SmokeRingsPipeDreams Kel do YOU know the whole story? I am a key player and have Talked with Salam and i don't believe you KNOW the WHOLE story! I see you are trying to help things alone but don't instigate any! This is from the Horses mouth!
@ToBaCCoR0W If there is a whole story Mike, why don't you tell your side? Why did you spam my video with nasty comment instead of doing so? Why did you hassle me about my tags?
@SmokeRingsPipeDreams hey man i am the first to admit i did stupid things! we are trying to move passed this! but you were not a player in what was going on you just tagged along! i hassled you because i thought it was stupid to put puppies and sex as tags in a pipe smoking video but i see know who cares! lets move on!
@ToBaCCoR0W I would like to move on Mike, but your little butt buddy brewer keeps bringing it up. First in that disgusting video and now in comments to me. As far as my tags go if you had asked politely I would have explained what the joke was all about, but what business is it of yours anyway? Why did you have to hate on me? You brought me into this with that and your comment under a fake channel name on my video about this. Now you want to come back and start playing the same games?
@SmokeRingsPipeDreams hey i am sorry i commented about your hair color man! i am sorry! i am not trying to play any games i want to just smoke pipes and cigars with anyone that will watch! like i said i made stupid mistakes i own them and am trying to get past it! as for brewer he is his own person and i have no control over what he says! and i don't understand y u call him my butt buddy! i am not gay but have family members take are and don't get the homophobe comments
@ToBaCCoR0W I'm not making any homophobic comments, being a "butt buddy" is not about being gay. Nice try to get gay people on youtube pissed at me mike. With one hand you pretend to apologise, with the other you attempt to start more trouble. Remember this, all the trouble that has happened and is happening came directly from YOU.
@ToBaCCoR0W And by the way, .. it would have been nice if you had been "first to admit" but after I barked at you for hassling me, you didn't. You instead pretended that you were just "joking". (after telling me point blank several times that "this is no joke") Why didn't you stand up like a man and apologise? Why didn't you stop harrasing people? Why did you harras me on my video about salams video? Why send your little toady brewer out here to put out fires you started?
So do I think you took the right aproach. no to silence and not delowering you or ThePolishPiper. You did well rising the civility and leaved the window opened for the settling of matters since both where caught by collateral involvement of other's issues, it seems to me.
But I agree of a non abusive freedom of speech, always.
Always the gentleman. I applaud you in your stand; you handled yourself with respect and dignity. What more can we ask of each other as humans? By the way I love the suits too.
A great response and I agree with the exercise of free speech in both directions. Name calling isn't the answer. A fantastic video, well said. thanks, gregg
Well done Gustavo for speaking up for civility, good taste, and good manners. Such things gave birth to the YT pipe 'community'. People often like to assert and talk about what they perceive as their 'rights' without having much regard for their 'responsibilities.
Well said. You have always been respectful of others. I like your suit, your books, and your videos. Please keep up the good work. Respectfully, BAMiller
Gustavo, I have seen ThePolishPiper's video and now this one. Allow me to say that my words probably mean nothing, as I am not known in the pipe community at this time. However, I would like to applaud you, Gustavo, for the way you handled this matter like a true gentleman. Muito obrigado, Gustavo!
Ah man, the polishpiper is a funny guy, although I don't think he meant to be in this case. And a homophobe, whose feelings of intellectual inferiority are very much on the surface. I grew up in the American South where this sort of anti-intellectual hostility is very common. Not universal, but very common. Where personal insults are a way of avoiding real communication. Sadly, arrogance and ignorance are traveling companions.
How dare you call me a homophobe. If you paid close attention to that part in my video, I was referring to how other people on youtube refer to homosexuals and nobody jumps to the defense of homosexuals. I have a family member that is homosexual. I would greatly appreciate if you took that statement back.
@ThePolishPiper It is easy. Listen to your choice of words for your childish personal insults. I've heard the same talk from many gay hating Christians from your country. Give it some thought, if that is not your intention. Maybe a bit of proper English usage would assist you. Oh, I forgot, you are too clever to bother with such things.
Dude, I don't hate gays. I'm just using those words as an example that people are using non-stop. I'm not claiming to be clever. I'm not smarter than anybody. I only said in the video that I've been to school and that I am not stupid.
@ThePolishPiper First, I have no reason to disbelieve you about not hating gays. So, I take back the homophobe comment. But your language, if you really listen, said a lot more than you are claiming. The innocent act just doesn't work.
The variety of nasty personal insult that you go to so easily is typical of the worst rednecks that I had the misfortune of growing up with.
I'm serious, think about what you said and how you said it. Ugly, just ugly and very ignorant sounding.
Thank you for taking it back. Ok, I understand that I should have not used that kind of language. I was just upset and frustrated at the time. I have a stressful job and my language gets vulgar at times and my temper catches up with me. I'm not an innocent person. I'm not claiming to be. I just dont know what to think anymore.
@ThePolishPiper Oh well, occasionally we step in shit without intending too. I do my share of shit stepping Youtube is a very public place so it is not surprising when someone responds negatively to what you say or do. No matter what you say or do.
I do not care for the baccybutcher guy, at all. But, I believe that requiem made a valid comment
I am saddened that this video had to be made, however, the clarity with which you have composed your sentiments is such that I am satisfied having watched it. At times, within any group of people whom share a common affinity like this youtube pipe smoking community, we sometimes are confronted with the reality that outside of our common interest, we may be quite different from one another in sometimes shocking ways. I appreciate that you made this video.
Hear, hear. You, my friend, have handled this like a Gentleman should: with clarity, civility and lucidity. I sincerely hope the entire matter is thus brought to its conclusion - though my instincts point in the opposite direction, alas.
Well said, Gustavo! Don't EVER change anything about you unless you want to. I love ya just the way you are...you're one of my favorite presenters!
