Rant: Trolls and haters on YouTube, often closed-minded and have no idea about the fandom, tries to fix it.
And let them spam BS comments? I'm not letting them make peoples view on furries bad to start off with.
I do the same; getting a defending reaction can make a troll go "ohai, the j-o's actually responding, let's try to upset him/her, hehehe." But actually burning the troll can evoke the opposite reaction - possibly even make them respect you more - and probably make them shut their trap and halt from trying to actually continue their train of thought. Then they just proceed to make idiotic statements and restatements. I've seen it happen dozens of times; just don't get upset if they make a really harsh insult of any kind. That's when they want you to go, "bawwwwww... T~T"
Ignorance may be bliss, but ignorance is also a pestilence and it should be eliminated. But Alexei's way actually works all the same.
I say mix 'em up; Own them then forget them. Like, if they come back after you shut them up; do as Alexei instructs and ignore them.

My Grandfather has no belief in my abilities... He doesn't acknowledge that I actually can do something, and just now told me to "put a shot up my nose" with a lingering context. He said it in such a way that actually stung, as if he wants me to kill myself. I don't know if I should be angry or sad... Get. Me. Out. Of. This. House...
