Trouble with the "fandom"
- Motto: "I'd just like to remind you all that I'm best. Thank you."
- Weapon: Mighty Ear
This'll probably get locked for one reason or another but okay..
As some people know, I do reviews of TF figures on Youtube, and shamelessly plug them everywhere I can, and i've gotten quite a few "fans" (or at least 'repeat customers'). Now that's all well and good, and I really appreciate the support, but how exactly do I deal with the difficult ones?
One user, who I shall leave to remain anonymous, started a conversation of sorts on one of my videos (on the comments), that went something like this
-----
Anon: Can I have all of your Transformers please
Meverix: It'll cost you several thousand
Anon: are you kidding
Meverix: well theres just over a hundred here, averaging about 10 each thats 1,000, plus the various 20/60 you're looking at about 2000... =D
Anon: just energon rodimus
Meverix: Sorry, I'm not selling any =P
Anon: y not
Meverix: Because... they're mine... and im quite comfortable with them here
Anon: I hate you

Not entirely sure how I respond to that. Though, he did. A few minutes later he commented on another of my videos with
-----
Anon: Y DIDINT YOU DO MY Cybertron Hot Shot REVIEW YET

I don't know why I'm posting really, other than I'm not sure how I react. 'Calm and collected' seems to turn up more hassle...
Guess I'm just sharing the fun of it with you guys.. or.. something..

Try psychological warfare. That would be hilarious.

Ah welcome to my world. You just have to block out / ignore the users who don't necessarily make "sense" and pay a lot of attention to the people who like what you're doing. The people who give you good advice and constructive criticism will help guide you to various levels of success.
Now if we could only get you to do these videos for SEIBERTRON.com ... we might be able to figure something out if you want to contact me.

Wait, what? Seriously? If so that's hilarious.
But anyway pay the fellow no mind and report if it goes out of hand. Judging by the level of communication you're likely dealing with someone relatively young, so it's not that dreadful.

This is the best snow day ever!

Unless of course this is only someone pretending to be the real culprit. The post count gives me a pretty good guess.
My observational skills suck.
EDIT: The previous posts, that's also something to note.

That's the first thing I thought, but I wasn't totally sure.
Better safe than sorry, right?
