I'll admit the mood right after watching an entry is sometimes dampened by reading criticism. I want to see Troy do good with this, I don't want there to be things he did wrong or could've did better.

But really, pravado has his own opinion. He has a right to post it. Just get over it or scroll past it. He's not just bashing things for the hell of it, they're legitimate criticisms. It's been said a bunch but I still don't really see a good reason to forbid him from posting how he does.

True story Very Happy . So I guess it turns out that everyone has a different opinion on this. But, everyone kept on saying that criticism ruins the mood for the video. But that would only happen if you read the thread right after you watch an entry. So either:

1) Wait a day or two until the mood from a video drains away, then go to the forum. I don't really have "the mood" a couple of hours after watching a video. For other people, it could be days.

2) If you want, you can read the forum right after you watch a video, and skip over what pravado says until a later time.

Location: I'm lost, let's ask that bald, tall, faceless guy in a business suit.

I think the problem here is not pravado. As you may have seen in the rage thread, I just skip over them (the truth is that I do read the comment, just don't pay attention at all to them). Do they bother me? They used to. Utill I learned to stop bitching about him and to just scroll down to him.

The problem here is the importance you are giving to this matter. Come on people, two threads have been done for this. Not to speak about the goddam derailed threads out there (almost all). Geez people, grow up! Let pravado just have it! As a person who was had this discussion with him, I just can tell you in an objective way that you people are the ones derailing threads. Just stop it. Let him post what he wants. You just skip it.

And now, a personal message for pravado:
You do have a point. You are truly in your own right to say whatever you want to say about the series without being a troll (because you are not). But you could just be a little considerate for the sake of the discussion of the thread you are going to post to. You could just follow the topic of conversation of the time, and at the end of your post add what you didn't like of the entry, not to just post your ranting or whatever without even commenting the topic of conversation. That's why people say you derail threads.
And please, I beg you: is it too much of a deal to not make your posts ala "oh please people this theory doesn't make sense", "oh this entry was lame because of X"? Again, you are not trolling, you are not complaining, you are not doing anything wrong. Because being a little rough is not being wrong. But is it too much of a deal not being (and don't mean to offend you, it's just that I don't know a better word) a dick? Almost all your comments, except the ones when you postulate a theory of yours, are rough and dick-like. Let me give you another example which happened some time ago:
I said something OOG which proven something wrong (like not to base our theories in the bodies of the characters, or something), and you simply answered "when did they said dat, gimme a link".
You can't tell me that wasn't a little rough, a little dick-like. But you didn't do anything wrong, right?

So that's why I'm personally asking you this and not complaining over the threads: Is it too much of a deal to just moderate a little the way you say things? Keep saying anything you want to say, but in a little more moderate way. No need to be rough, no need to be so blatantly biting. Is it possible? Please? Thank you.
Once again, consider this a personal request and a recomendation, so don't go giving me the freedom of speech and manners, since it's useless because this is not a discussion. You do whatever you want with this message. I just feel better getting it of my chest, so I don't have any beef with you. Cheers.

Honestly. Pravado isn't going to stop doing what he does. He just won't. Angrily replying to everything he posts only leads to debate and that is what causes threads to derail.
Making a whole thread about the issue obviously helped a lot though.

Criticizing the way people criticize always seemed kind of stupid to me.


Well, I don't care for the way you're criticizing the way that people criticize the way that people criticize!

Gonna weight in because why not? The only thing that ever bothered me about Pravado's posts is the way he is sometimes rude to people when they have theories he thinks are stupid. I don't mind the criticizing, other people post things that are OOG about videos and the like without spoilers, but no one minds because they're not negative. I think that's a double standard. He has critiques. He's allowed. I have no problem with it.

This thread really doesn't need to exist. The discussion of this thread doesn't need to exist.

I'm just sorry I didn't notice it sooner.
