Most of us have dealt with this...people on youtube, who usually have no idea how to pick a lock,and have nothing better to do with their time than hassle committed, highly skilled people wishing to share their talents with the world.
I feel this is a relevant matter for all who pick locks on camera.
At first, (several years back ) I used to take these incidents very seriously, and get all worked up about the whole thing, ( you know, being slandered as just about everything negative there is,IE: crack dealer, criminal,tweeker,thief,and everything in between.)
in fact several of my fellow pickers have had to shut their channels down because of this type of harassment.
Through experience i can tell you that at the beginning when i did not know how to properly deal with these incidents, the absolute best thing was having someone to hear out the problem.
i suggest that if you are lucky enough to not have had this happen to, then great.,but if you have, why not share some of those wacky insults accusations,and assumptions here?
and remember the BLOCK USER button is right there....
also to avoid stooping to these people's level, please EXCLUDE youtube usernames in your post,and hopefully we can all have a good chuckle.

here is my latest ( of hundreds):(posted on my "lockjaw vid and since removed)

"people like you should be locked up for life and the key thrown away posting shit like this here. I will be looking into having you banned from this site JERK!"

very nice post...

in my infant stage of youtubing I have not had any flamers yet (although I expect some)

I have however had a few on my website... Usually calling me gay... I just delete them and move on.

Well, since I only have one vid so far, and it's only been up for a few days, none yet, but I'm sure the idiots will come...

And really wtf? they had to be digging around for the material to come across it or something similar... Flippin asshats.

Ya know, I think the idea of this thread is interesting... I'm gonna sticky it to keep it up top so people add to it.

I don't do the youtube thing anymore, but I once had a locksmith from Colorado post some crap to me, I deleted it, I think he messed with Kokomo, or Awol as well, he basically told me that it was impossible to pick a Master Pro Series, he implied that I only had one pin in it. After I found his company name and told him I would not recommend anybody do business with him, he stopped cold, I never heard from him again.

I am sort of surprised that they are mad because of the material. I have dealt with plenty of flaming assholes who flame post just to piss people off and get a rise out of you, but im surprised that they seem to be mad at the material. I cant say that this has happened to me on youtube yet, but this seems to be pretty common on forum websites. my first thought when i read the comment was that i bet someone got something stolen and somebody mentioned that the lock was probably picked, like the idiots they are they go on youtube to see how easy it is and then think you are the problem when in reality the person probably left it unlocked or some other method of entry. and like you said the best think to do is delete it and dont respond. just a bunch of idiots.

"I hope they lock you up and throw away the key" !!!!!!

Blimey wouldnt that make a great vid for youtube huh? :mrgreen:

You get put in a room and the only way your freedom is met is by picking your way out of it ..........i would personallly thank the fella for such a good idea :fu:

The world is full of dumbasses. Though I sometimes enjoy reading flamers posts, especially the ones that sound like you alone were responsible for killing their puppy or something personal like that. Gives me a chuckle to read such angry and sometimes emotional posts.

I have had several mean and stupid comments. I like reading other peoples opinions, even if they are clueless as far as picking and security is concerned. I usually just tell them thanks for watching and that is normally the end of it. Mean people suck, and the world is full of them, hopefully no one closes their YouTube channel because of them.

Not as bad as the comments Awol is getting, but here is one from tonight!

Most locks are defeatable by some method or other - and, as has been said, a thief would have to be particularly dextrous and well-equipped (and also pretty cocky) to attempt this on the open street. Admirable stuff to others of your ilk but most of us want to protect our precious bikes and this kind of well-broadcast information is, frankly, a bit of a pisser. Maybe your next challenge could be to design a better lock.

Here is a link to the video.

At least that is constructive criticism, and kinda well thought out. The ones I get a kick out of readin are the ones that sound like some raving lunatic....shit spelling, horrible grammar, and bringing up the crackhead and tweaker stuff when there is no reason to. I always picture some tweaker that doesn't have the patience to sit down and learn to pick his nose, let alone a lock.

I haven't even looked at my comments on my vids for a long time, I should and see if there are any good ones on there for you guys...
