I can't find a You Tube user named IamianaimaI. Possibly he/she created the account to flame you and and then deleted it. (I had one person do that to me several times on the same video-- see below.)
I usually let the truthers rant away on my channel and don't respond though I do have a zero tolerance, instant plonk policy for anti-Semitic remarks like the one you quoted. I had to moderate the comments on my Truthers Defend Holocaust Denier video because of Jew-hating comments from truthers. I'm frequently accused of being "part of it" (i.e., the 9/11 conspiracy) by truthers on You Tube and on my blog. The most interesting comment I've gotten, however, was a video comment from Truther Sarah who lives right here in Savannah (embedded below-- Caution: NSFW language). Sarah didn't turn on the lights when she made her little video tirate but I've included a picture of her playing in traffic during a truther "street action," my video of which prompted her on camera meltdown, so you can have a good look at her.

No, it's not illegal to to photograph or record people on public property (streets, sidewalks, parks, etc.) in the USA. You may need permission on private property (including shopping malls), however, but even that is not usually a problem unless someone objects to what you're doing.
Sarah claimed I was using a "hidden" video camera but the camera was in plain sight the entire time I was there. She even took a photograph of it (on the left side of the park bench) and posted it on the truther's meet-up page. She only claimed I was "illegally" filming them because she came off like a total loon in the videos I made. |

When I read comments like that by truthers / paranoid CTers I just get angry. It just once again shows how ridiculously stupid and naive, no- childish these people are. Their whole world view and "understanding" of how the world works is similar to a hollywood movie, and a bad one. This becomes particulary apparent when they proceed to tell you how they're gonna take teh NWO down... |

UNLoVedRebel had a hate mail thread a few years ago, it was immediately derailed and AHH'ed, won a reprieve only to be sent back again.

This thread reminds me of a gentleman who messaged me after some comments I left on a truther video. At first he was "just asking questions," mostly related to 9/11, but after exposing a handful of his truther talking points, he started on about the Illuminati and Jews and contrails and all types of other nonsense. There's a lot of buffoonery in here, but I think my favorite part is where he says that the death of Alex Jones would "create mass revolution."
Quote:
His next message was a list of "quotes" from the presidents he'd mentioned, all of them either taken horribly out of context or made up entirely. He eventually broke down and sent me a message in all caps, calling me a sheep and a servant, and also that he was tired of my "debunkerizations" and I had to block him after that. |

Every time i open a 9/11-related video, I have to go down the comments list and block about half the responders before I comment on it myself. If I don't, I get obscene messages left on my You tube channel page and dislikes on my videos, none of which are related to 9/11, so far.
If there is a "14" or "88" in a user name, it gets hit with the ban-o-matic. |

I love when truthers or ct'ers in general bust out the " turn off your televisions " line.
T.v. may not be the most intellectual source of information, but compared to youtube, it is golden. Its like saying " When everyone stops doing weed and starts snorting meth, then the real revolution will take place." |

Filming someone on the street is perfectly legal but HOW you use the footage could bring up other legal issues. For example, you COULD be sued for appropriation.
The laws vary a lot from state to state so be careful. |

I find a post that they have made to another person's video, click the user name, and go to their channel pages. Below the "Subscribe" buttoin are buttons for "Send Message," "Add as Friend" and "Bloick User." Click "Block User." A window will appear asking you to confirm that you want to block the user. Click "Yes," then wait for another window saying "User Blocked." Click "Okay" in that window. Bye-bye troll.

Thanks, now that's going to be stuck in my head all week. I remember staying up on Friday nights to catch the Bill Tetley Variety Hour as a kid.

Closest thing I got to hate mail was Cappy Robby responding to my e-mail query about why I was banned.
basically because he did not like me. I probably don't warrant a bullet to the back of the head by his estimation though, unlike his desire for some others. |

Biggest twoofer hate-freakout I ever received would have to be this one over at SLC in response to mentioning that WTC7 was the largest office building fire in history:

FYI, Ryan Mackey also demonstrated that WTC7 was the largest fire of its kind in history to a similar, though less profanity laden response from RedIbis. |

I think my hate mail actually borders on harassment.
It's a guy I know personally, I used to consider him a friend until he got in to truther ************. He knows where I live and often sends me truther propaganda mail, and publicly slanders me in my own hometown. Just because I refuse to accept he's "right!" |
