Ouch...you're on my hair...

Exploring the world of Youtube, I’ve found some pretty amazing things, funny things, odd things, and just bad things.

However, expression is what it is just like this is my expression. I have the right to say what I think and those of the generation behind me have the right to post their videos of their self expression. What really made me ponder was the seething hatred that people seem to have toward some people who post on line.

It really makes me sad that we can’t allow people the right to express themselves, even if they don’t do it well. Just like me.

While everyone is not as funny as everyone else or as original, still they don't deserve hate, death threats and other negativity strewn endlessly at them. I mean what is the point? If you just ignore it, it still does no harm and even if one person enjoys it or it serves some form of release for the person who is creating the Vlog or blog in my case.

Now I know that many people support their negative comments by the argument that they open the door by placing the vlog or blog in the public domain to any feed back positive or negative. While I do agree with the reasoning,, I disagree with right to be uncivilized in posting negative feedback. Telling someone that they don’t have the right to express themselves or that they should die because they have or some other comment that is only made to be hurtful is wrong. You may even say that I have lost my mind or that I’m just a bleeding heart and those with no talent should not do things which invite comments which may hurt their feeling. If you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen logic.

I disagree and as I’ve always said that while you may be right in your critique of the person, the peter rabbit principle is a better way to go. That is if you don’t have anything nice to say then it is better to just not to say anything. Or to make your own vlog or blog and explain why you don’t like the other opinion, approach, or what ever, but still making personal attacks just makes you seem petty.

By all means a good rant is therapeutic but rant responsibly. Notice how I didn’t say that those leaving the negative comments were for example;

[ just a bunch of mam-bee pam-bee troglodytes living in their parent’s basement and work at the gas n sip or video barn (if they have a job at all) and think that because they own every issue dark horse has ever published that they are somehow superior to the rest of humanity. Hello you live in a basement and you quit using the black light early in your adolescent years because it… well you know, and the closest thing you have to a relationship is … is… ok I got nothing there because I don’t think there is a word in the English language to describe someone so pathetic. ]

See that is just mean and if I were to say something like that would make me look like a bully. So if you dislike something you see/ read is it really worth your time to be ugly about it? Perhaps the better thing to do is just let it alone.

Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.

Ciao,
