I'm sorry I can't watch your video; I had to block youtube because some of the antics my son was getting up to. (Don't. ask.) :makesface: I also have dial-up. Too bad, because it sounds royally entertaining and the kind of thing I'd NEVER have the guts to do.
I first heard about Cyber Angels through an article in Reader's Digest.

I'm glad all of you like me (or at least the people I've seen active on this forum so far), but what I meant was that anybody on here that has a YT account should leave positive comments and also comments that saying things like there is nothing wrong with what I'm doing, and why there's nothing wrong with it, because I want all the trolls to see how stupid they are.

They won't. That kind of person reacts primarily with negative emotion and are convinced they are the be-all and end-all. Very much like a spoiled child, in fact. Their most likely response will be how stupid everyone who likes you is -they can't get that kind of positive friendship, so they revile it.

i have to admit, i'm not sure what the problem actually is here. the video is pretty cute, but there's like, two negative comments spaced out over a month. two. in a month.
sure, it's annoying and maybe a little upsetting if some other stuff is already under your skin, but from the first few posts, i thought your stuff was being flamed from here into the next dimension of reality. as far as rabid harassment goes, it's kind of a fizzle.

I work in a mental institution, and that asshole has insulted everyone who has to be there. The mentally ill are in legitimate need of help, and often that's the only place to find it. I've walked past people talking on the phone -- and there's no-one on the other end. Or they're ranting or talking about whatever their paranoid delusions serve up. Some look, act, and sound almost normal, but don't get them started. They have it bad enough without jerks continuing to spread nonsense misconceptions about them.
I know it's easy to say, but ignore those yarak kafalis. They don't know you. They live in their own little worlds, and if they didn't have their keyboards to hide behind, they'd keep their mouths shut. Put in the same room with you, they'd never say a word. You might hit them.
(You're the one holding the weapon in each smilie.)You have the confidence to have fun. Don't let losers who would probably diss their own mothers spoil your life.

Oh well what about this comment he recently just left?
wow ..just looked through your other videos you sure know how to scare the crap at of a woman dont you that poor rachel lilis woman.talk about awkward.i do think you should be locked into a hospital tho for everybodys safety its usually freaks like you that go to the top of a bell tower and start a killing spree because somebody ripped there favourite pokemon card.
and i do apologise for the late response but you tube isnt my entire life im afraid.but do get back to at some point you may like to explain that miss lilis wasnt scared or that pokemon is cool or something.or maybe just call me a dumbass you dweeby perverted little freak.
This kind of crap can't just be ignored. You need support from your friends in a matter like this. Also, how am I a pervert again?
Also, it really makes me sad that no one will support me, because I hardly ever ask my friends for help with anything, and the one time I really need them, they won't do it despite them telling me that they love me. That's like saying you know-"Even though we love you, you don't need our help and you can take care of things yourself." Oh really? How? This kind of stuff just can't be ignored like I said, and I especially can't handle people like this by myself either.

i guess it's a case of feed the troll, they come back to the table.
have you tried getting the youtube authorities involved to get the comments removed and/or the author suspended? admittedly i'm not up on what their abuse policy is but they certainly must have one.
i'm really leery about posting in the video commentary like you asked for, because while the video is perfectly awesome and cool, you're asking me (and everyone else here) to get involved in an argument. You bring in your side, they bring in their side, and then you haven't got some nasty comments from a single troll-brain, you've got an honest to bejeezus flame war. you're just asking for support, but support usually brings in answering air strikes.
I don't like arguments even when its something I'm passionate about - I don't really want to tell a doofus he's a doofus when it's already perfectly obvious to anybody with an IQ over 75 reading his commentary. Because if I do, then I can have the joy of feeling obligated to checking back in a week to find out how creatively he can slang MY mother for birthing me. Then I'm going to get out the vocabulary that will sail right over this doofus' head when I *could* have spent that time slaughtering digital pixels in my game-du-jour.
and actually yes, it can be ignored. It's just amazing how much good a decent, solid round of answering apathy can do.
You're doing nothing wrong and a ton of things right by enjoying yourself, having a blast and posting a video of it. It's not your fault or problem that the internet is full of people who don't get "fun" when it stares them in the faces, so why are you rising to the bait, anyways? because that's what it is - a fishing lure.
for some reason i have the vision in my head of the old Mork and Mindy show, where Mork throws up the egg with the joyous cry "Fly! Be free!"... then the egg splats on the counter. You, my friend, probably currently feel just like Mork did in that instant - puzzled, confused and upset that the egg didn't zoom out the window on it's own.

Asking somebody to back you up isn't necessarily feeding a troll.

Lyon's right, Allen, I've seen an entire group destroyed because of one idiot attacking someone and people taking sides. The two best ways to approach this would be contact youtube to report the review as harassing and abusive or two write a scathing response to the author, save it don't send, and anytime the idiot leaves a review, add to it, but never send it. When the person stops reviewing because you don't bite, or the others stop laughing, and you are able to move on, delete the file. I've done it lots of times with people I know won't take what I have to say seriously because they don't see their own behaviors. It gets it out of me. Sometimes I go to friends and sometimes I get to the point where I can approach the person in a manner that works for everyone. Honestly, you'll never be able to approach that idiot so don't even bother.

Feeding the troll is exactly why I am not going to post anything Allen.
As Lyon and amethyst have pointed out, I have seen it happen several times. You get your friends to say how great you are and he/she gets her friends to say how "bad" your work is and it just continues the vicious cycle. Tearing boards and friendships apart.
You have been given many suggestions as to what to do to stop this troll. If you do not want to act on one of them then that is up to you but you also have to have the confidence in YOURSELF to realize that you ARE much better than what he says. You should not need us to jump in and echo it in public.
Sorry for being so blunt Allen and I do not mean to appear uncaring. I have had similar situations occur myself and I know how it feels to have something you have put such emotions effort into being criticized.

Allen, i's clear that this upsets you, and I can understand why. But the others are right. If you respond to this person in *any* way, you are giving them what they want. If you ignore them and do not respond, they'll realize that you're above their petty comments, get bored, and move on. It's the only way to get through to someone with an IQ as low as theirs.

At the end of the day Allen you have to step back and say to yourself,
"Do I really care what this person thinks, says or does?"
As others have said the only thing you can do is ignore them, trolls live for the reaction.
If you find you can't and its really playing on your conscience contact You tube and have the offending user banned.

Don't pander to twelve year olds or immature people who get a kick out of saying things like that just to get a response, like everyone else said, report the idiot if it continues or is offensive.
