  1. Nonsense. Trolls are fucking despicable psychopaths who get pleasure from dragging every thread and video down to the gutter. They often destroy intelligent conversation by flooding videos with their bullshit, and dissuading conversation. I'm glad Pakman blocked you - not that I have an issue with you personally, but I'm glad that he recognises that freedom of speech is not an excuse to allow bullshit. I just wish that TYT would start doing the same.

  2. Trolls are scum who should lose their right to even speak on the internet. For too long, people have allowed these vermin to degrade EVERY video because they're so terrified of being seen to restrict freedom of speech. Well to hell with freedom of speech - if you come to my videos and post hostile, useless, off-topic shit, you're getting blocked first time, no messing. Disagree with a video, or another commenter sure, even profanely or aggressively, but if the sole purpose of your comment is to be offensive, then you are OUTTA there! And as for Jimmy's customarily inane and utterly out of touch comment at the end, that trolls are good because they help people develop a thick skin - bullshit they do. They simply push many of the decent people away, and leave the trolls in charge.

  3. Chickenapocalypse But the majority of the population is kind of weak. Does that mean that they don't deserve protection?

  4. Silverizael I think you're confusing trolls with hackers.

  5. SeanTheOriginal I don't know if you're trying to be ironic  or witty, but this is not about disagreement with points of view, any more than Somalian pirates should  be considered in a debate about yachting regulations.

  6. ***** Freedom of speech NEVER existed in a private space, and without consequences. What you call a "standard" is a fantasy that never existed how you think it should exist.
