So I have not been keeping up the blog much, I do have another personal blog that I have been writing in but I never share links to that with the herp community because its kinda just about my every day life and I like to try to keep that separate to some extent. My feeling today is directly related to the YouTube videos I have been making for over 2 years now and the website I created so I figured this would be the best place to post something like this so here we go.
As you could imagine I get a ton of emails every day, I get a lot from video comments on the well over 300 videos I have created, I get correspondence from other people in the herp community, questions, comments, reply’s, everything. Not this is mostly in relation to my YouTube comments but is also in relation to some general emails and or reply’s even on the social networks.
I don’t understand where people get off saying some of the stuff they do. I mean is it because I try to be a warm caring person that people think they can just say what they want, when they want with no consequences or repercussions? Is it because I normally prefer to take the high road and stay out of an argument that people feel like they can just have their way with me verbally?
At the end of the day a lot of people seem to forget that we all have feelings and reactions to both good and bad and I for one am getting a little tired of it. I mean I totally understand that there will always be haters out there but honestly it gets old to work so hard to accomplish something just to have it or myself tore down by some little prick with nothing better to do with his time. A few times not it has honestly made me feel like just deleting everything and walking away from this whole thing altogether.
That being said I have been taking great advantage of the ban option both on YouTube as well as the social networks. The bottom line is I deal with enough crap as it is just trying to get ahead in this world and don’t need to listen to some jerk off keyboard commando pumping his chest in his bedroom at his parents house. I mean honestly dose it ever end? I would love to hear from someone who has a much larger following than me about whether or not this ever end or at least evens out a little bit. Not everyone is bad but the A-holes are quickly starting to out number the awesome people and honestly I would rather spend my time with my family than continue dealing with this.
GGGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
