Well, a good few weeks ago, I like many others like myself was searching and scanning youtube out of boredom. This was of course until something caught my eye. I am sure many of you are aware of the Comedian Michael Richards "aka Kramer from Sienfield" And his horrible actions of racism. While I do not support him, I do feel his story does not need to be pushed any further then it has, and people seriously don't need to be provoking it much longer.
Back to my story
I came upon a video like many others with tiles like "The official Michael Richard tapes" And out of curiosity I went to view it. However to my disgust it turned out to be a serious video where he apologizes however instead of it being his voice, it was a badly dubbed audio tape from a male. It' honestly disgusted me the things he said along with repetitive uses of the N word with blatant disregard of anyone. So I decided to leave a comment, along with about 600, other people. My comment was as follows.

Where I do agree that what Michael Richards did was immoral and wrong, not to mention blatantly ignorant. I can't help but notice your video is no better. In fact it is in my opinion more ignorant then his very act and you should be ashamed to make it in the first place.
Seems fair correct? I mean it's just a YouTube comment. Who doesn’t do that once in a while, I mean not to mention he had hundreds of other messages, most congratulating him I might add on a video well done.
It only took 2 days however for me to receive this message from the video creator himself.

Subject: Hey
Message: I just saw your videos and thought they were s**t.
How pathetic is it that you’re 18 and still watch cartoons.
Do you really think I want the opinions of a sad loner like you?
The answer no so ******** OFF MORON!
You are now.... BLOCKED.Bye loser Ha-ha
This statement first made me laugh. Was this man serious? Did he honestly read my response among hundreds and feel it this important to point out flaws he personally may see in all my videos. Rather unlike me when I simply commented my opinion on a video, he felt obligated to attack me as a person. However like I said I shrugged it off, and went to check on my old AMV's until I noticed it. Under each and every single video I had on the site, he had copy and pasted this statement and said it. He also emailed me this statement. At around this point I was annoyed until I noticed the things he said in his comment.
A) I just saw your videos and thought they were s**t.
I am fine with this it's his opinion go all out my friend. I mean I don't even like my AMV's that much, why do you think I stopped making them
B) How pathetic is it that you’re 18 and still watch cartoons.
Hmm now this I found funny, because if he had spent more then 5seconds looking at my account, and actually viewed my video's like he claims he did, he would see that in the description I state. "This is a video I made with some pals a few years back" Does he not realizes I made these videos around the age of 15-16. I guess not.
C) Do you really think I want the opinions of a sad loner like you?
Funny? I'm not the person replying to each and every individual post against my video counting down the reasons why I say there lame, make fun of them, then block them in fear of there response?
All in all it made me laugh but I was clearly annoyed. So I took a few moments of my time to contact youtube. I mean I never wanted too much of a serious problem. I deleted his comments on my video, blocked him on my Email and all was fixed. I just wanted maybe to give him a warning or maybe even a scare. So like I said I contacted youtube admins or officials and stated my problems.
Wouldn’t you know it 5 days later and low and behold, his account has been banned off the site for ill manner. Bravo stranger Bravo. You can search up his username yourself if you want you’ll just get a blank message.
All in all my friends this, is why you don't act like an idiot on youtube.
