Recently had someone leave a fairly ignorant comment on my Match Up Pearl review video.  He obviously didn't pay that close of attention to what I said, and went on a mini little rant about it.  I listened though, went back and watched the videos and one thing he did say was true, the reaction I showed didn't entirely "match up" to my commentary, or in other words, it looked a lot better than I made it sound.  I didn't like it, but an objective review can't be based on my personal opinions, I've gotta judge just on ball reaction, and despite my personal feelings, it still got a favorable rating. 

I HATE ignorance.  I can't stand our current political climate where if a million people like something, but one person doesn't or is "offended," then boy we've gotta change absolutely everything and bend over backwards to accommodate ignorance and stupidity.  On one hand, I'd love to get on there and pick his comments apart, because while he did have a point to one of them, he didn't pay attention to the rest of what I said, between the two videos I addressed a few things and thought I was very clear about them.  I don't want to seem like I'm getting defensive though, and I don't want to remove his comment, but I don't want other people seeing some ignorant cherry picked obtuse angle comment from someone who obviously just wanted to complai and then run with it.  I don't want to allow that kind of thing, so I'm definitely not going to get on there and apologize, but taking a firm stance would make me seem like a defensive doucher.  Ignorance and stupidity is becoming more and more prevalent because all you have to do is find a soapbox to hop on and whine from, and man the whole world starts changing for no reason. 

Obviously this really pisses me off, not because he had something negative to say, but because he didn't pay attention and was flat out wrong.  I know when you do something like youtube, you're putting stuff out there for everyone to see and can't control who watches your stuff or what they think about it, but I'm not going to bow down to ignorance, that just screws all my good viewers over and ruins the experience for them if all the sudden I change what I'm doing because I caved to a couple of morons. 

Just be yourself Luke.  The VAST majority appreciate your efforts, reviews and most importantly...YOU.

You’re a good guy.  So, IMHO, accept that negativity will exist regardless and it’s smooth sailing from there.

As they say 'ignorance is bliss'  one bean doesn't affect the whole burrito.

I agree pretty much with notclay.

For the most part I wouldn't respond, simply state your case and not call out anyone.

Someone who is entrenched in their position doesn't hear arguments. That includes people on both sides of the discussion.

Try posting something for sale….. And wait for the stupid questions or comments

Example

New in box 15lb Brand X, Most amazing ball pearl. $112.00 shipped. No trades


Question 1, what pound is the ball?
Question 2, is this ball new or used?
Question 3, how much is shipping?
Question 4, Would you trade for a 16lb 4.5 drill Brand Y ball?
Question 5, is this the hybrid?


People by in large are stupid. They do not read and comprehend. They only slightly do better with listening to or watching a video and comprehending.  As we see on here regularly people will argue with people who know far more because of something they read or heard from someone else years ago….. Which they probably didn't understand to begin with because as previously stated people do not comprehend or pay attention to anything.

Dilly Dilly Luke!!! There is a bitter beer face in every crowd. It makes me want to drop some Easy Slide on their approach. Inadvertently of course. lol
