Return of the You Tube commenter

A couple months ago I posted a blog about the ignorance of most You Tube commentors. In recent months I will admit to have been in that same category. Not because I leave rude jerk off comments, but rather I get involved in You Tube arguments to easily. I see someone being a jerk or saying rude and uncalled for things and in my mind I have this urge to put them in their place. What I get though is a few comments of insults, and stress from these people. But I'm not hear to talk about jack asses on You Tube. I'm here with some tips that may help you if your ever in one of the situations that I occationally get in. With some experience I've come up wit a few.

1. Just don't comment. Sometimes I swear people comment on others comments just to be douche bags. Or if your me, to play law and order. Be careful, or don't post anything at all, but more importantly refrain from commenting on comments.

2. Be mature. If there is one thing that I have done better its been being mature in my comments. Whether on the video, or to another commenter. That being said some videos it OK to be immature on such as You Tube Poop videos, but in many cases its best to be mature. You feel a lot better when you sound smart and mature compared to your obsessive swearing angry rude opponent. You also look a lot better too. I like playing the act your age card.

3.Stake realistic claims. Granted many people will still call you an idiot who doesn't know anything even though you did your research. All that does though is make them look ignorant, and immature.

4. Do go out half cocked. Meaning don't get in an argument if you know little about the topic, or know you wont be able to find viable research. You might end up looking like an idiot, and the other commenter will put you down.

5. Report abuse if necessary. Sometimes people go to far. Saying just incredibly cruel and insensitive things. Some may even give violent death threats. Best thing to do is report them. They get their punishment, and they can never comment or talk to you until you un block them. Save you a lot of trouble, and might make them feel foolish in the end.

6. Quit while your ahead. There's no need to pour more fuel onto a fire when not necessary. If the commenter continues to argue, or insult you just stop, or a leave a simple comment like, "your and adult, act like it." There isn't much they can do after that that wont make them look stupid.
