I'm not one for these 'thank you' buttons available on modern forums, and this certainly isn't coming from a jealousy point of view, indeed you have 'thanked' many of my own positive posts, but I've started to notice you're only 'thanking' posts which are positive towards your channel. Tell me you're not the same as all the other tossers behind these shows (with the exception of Hof, that is) and only put store in the positive comments?
i wouldnt worry to much about it, if they just want guys blowing smoke up there asses then fine let em be, if they cant handle a honest oppinion thats there problem.
me id rather have a reply to a critasism rather than a thankyou for pandering.
So how one uses a thank you button is an indicator of how one responds to 'critasism' is it?
Hardly old boy, but then I'm not about to get into a dialogue with every Tom, Dick or Harry furious with Old Bob that he's not providing to his personal peccadilo. Too many fake breasts! Not enough up-skirts! No Mongolian girls! Where's the skateboarding nuns?
I do have a channel to run y'know. ALL the feedback is read and considered and appreciated. I bloody well certainly can handle an honest opinion but rather than indulge everyone I disagree with or hand out a pat 'yes dear' I just show gratitude where gratitude is required. Perhaps you would have me thank those who have been downright personal too?
No. I'd rather have some constructive criticism than somebody, how did you put it, 'blow smoke up my ass' any day of the week. It's simply a matter of manners and tone. I'm from an older generation you see? One that believes in punctuation, the dictionary and that a gentleman should stand up when a lady enters the room. I also thank people for their good manners, and one thing this generation seems to consider acceptable is the dreadful convention of leaving their manners to one side when writing anything negative. In my humble opinion dear chap, it should be precisely the opposite to this. It is when one has his dagger out that he should be particularly careful with the old p's and q's, do you not find?
So in short, I'll take all of your notes on board, and glad to hear 'em I am too. But I will use my thank you button as and where I bloody well wish and not be judged upon it by you 'orrible lot.
There, I got quite riled there for a moment, I may have to thrash a boffin to sooth my nerves.
Your old chum,
Bob Paradiso Esq.
