Good video and you speak alot of truth there.

Unfortunately you blocked me some time ago for correcting you on actual facts and called me a troll. I was pretty annoyed as I run the UK's biggest Atari show Jagfest UK, moderate several forums, write for a leading retro magazine and am one of the most widely respected people in the Atari community. I only ever correct people if they are wrong and always hope they take it the right way. Sorry you didn't but no hard feelings. Keep up the good work

@LairdOfForsyth I don't recall the incident, or for what reason I blocked you, so I can't comment. I don't blcok people just for disagreeing with me or correcting facts, but I do block for the manner in which they do it. I won't speculate on that having been the case, as I really don't remember.

@LairdOfForsyth Given that I don't remember the incident, I'll assume that I misinterpretted whatever comment you made at that time... I've unblocked you from my other channel.

lol This is some good shit! Fuck trolls bro. I usually just don't read there comments. They do the same shit on yahoo answers. haha I actually think yahoo answers is worse. Here is what I do. When someone talks shit delete there comment and then cock block them. lol They are nothing but no good pieces of amphibian shit anyway. Don't waste your time trying to help them and there pathetic lives.

By the way. Thats one nice accent you got there. Where you from man?

@Metalitron12 My method for dealing with the trolls these days is to reply to their comment, telling them what I think of their "opinion." They'll see this in their inbox. I then block them and delete both their comment and my reply to it, so no-one else need be bothered by the exchange.

My accent comes from the English south midlands... on the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshi­re border. I live further north now, and it kinda stands out a bit up here :)

Trolls are annoying they are like those people at school who dnt have any place in friendship groups or identity so they just float between them spoiling everyone elses fun.

[BenwaysWorld]

That about sums them up.

Among other things, this has got me thinking... an idea for a follow up video.

There's a perspective I haven't looked at that may be worth exploring.

Watch this space :D

Oh man... you think trolls on YouTube are bad? Try and play a game on XBOX Live. I mean, Jesus... I've never heard more racist, homophobic, sexist hooligans in my life. And the worst part is that most of them are kids.

Just seen this video as ive had some catching up to do. I find some people just think their own opinion is fact and everyone else is wrong and wont discuss it but will just argue and insult. Its very irritating I know what you mean. Also I think some people are what I call arm chair experts and have to be and expert on everything and everyone else is wrong unless you agree with them. This happens especially online I find but totally agree with you on all you said.

@BenwaysWorld

Yeah man. How is the UK? I live in America and love it here. I always liked the UK to. I always thought the US and the UK had similar things in common. Both places have similar ways of dealing with things. Excluding us having a filthy president. lol And our drinking age being 21. "gay" I still want to go to london one of these days within the next couple years and chill out. haha
