The thing is that there are most probably a number of people who agree with him.

Your schtick seems to be "Start a thread by posting a You Tube video and saying what you dislike/disagree with/think is lame about it". You are not unique or new in this behaviour. Quite a few people have developed that modus operandi, or a very similar one, before, they have been moaned at, and they have stopped.

Posting it here is implicitly saying "There is something in this material for EEVBlog readers.". If there isn't then all you're effectively doing is saying "Here is my opinion [whether you like it or not]". You're just grabbing people's attention and then disappointing them. There is an ideal place to express your opinion of random You Tube videos - they have a comments section conveniently attached to [almost] every video.

Saying something to the effect of "If you don't like it ignore it" is fine if you're talking about what you do at home, in private. It is not a substantive argument if we're talking about a shared space, which this is.

Yes I see your point now, you've put that well.  I see it wasn't a well thought out posting, and I will gladly have the thread deleted if the mods want to. Thanks for being man enough to say it clearly, without being snotty or condescending... that shows kindness and maturity.

It's not a matter of whether the gist of what he says is right or not, it's the accusational, abrasive manner in which it is conveyed. I have no time for that nonsense; whether I am right or wrong, I try my best to be polite (and often fail), it's what makes a man a real man.

Apologies to members for wasting your time - it wasn't deliberate.
