That's the way I am in person.

Snit
Fair enough... and I appreciate the rare moment where you admit to not being perfect. Sincerely. No insult. No attack.

Marek Novotny
If you were here and I was to talk about why I created that script and was to show you how it worked, that's how it would be. If you find it boring, stop watching it. I don't like 15 minute videos that have no context. No one other than us knows what you're talking about. I'm all about the back story. Why are we doing this? What's its purpose. How did we get to where we are? What you see is how I actual am. This isn't a show for idiots with attention deficit disorders.

Snit
I am going to guess you have never been a teacher. :)

Marek Novotny
You'd be wrong.

Snit
Ah, you are a teacher, a programmer, and video professional... on and on and on.

Do you realize how absurd you sound with your tall tales?

Marek Novotny
Fact #1. I beat my teachers score in TCP/IP before he finished teaching the course to us. I scored an almost perfect score, missing just two out of 60. This is back in the Novell area.

Snit
Which has NOTHING to do with being a teacher, even if it was true.

Marek Novotny
I said I could teach the CNA course better than he could and he gave me the course and I nailed it. But a lot of the students are there on retraining money by the government. I paid my own money to take that course so I gave a shit about learning it. Many of them played solitaire during the course. If you don't want to learn, I have no interest in teaching.

Snit
So you claim you taught A class. And that makes you a "teacher".

But my years of Linux use excludes me from being a Linux user.

Nice self nuke. Again. :)

Also, the fact you think YOU are worth people's time, even if you are rambling, says a lot about your need for attention.

Marek Novotny
LOL. yeah, I somehow faked the 432 views and 11 up votes on my LVM video which I only showed off in cola. That video is 66 minutes long.

Snit
How many minutes, on average, do people watch?

Marek Novotny
Like I said Snit, find a better video on LVM where you feel like you can actually do LVM after watching it.

Snit
Ah, now you want me to do videos on topic of your choosing... but you cannot show even your favorite topic: simple PDF annotations.

Marek Novotny
Mine is real. I actually do it. I don't write about on a board. I actually do it, LIVE and UNCUT. Anyone will tell you the longer a single take the more difficult it is. You think you can do 66 minutes on LVM uncut in a single take without fucking it up, be my guest.

Snit
Ah, your videos are so good you can be unplanned, rambling, unfocused, and not teach as much.

Yeah, good bragging point. :)

Marek Novotny
You're videos are crap. You want to actually learn about something, watch my videos.

Snit
Hey, just think how much my videos have you thinking... you obsess over their content and bring them up over and over and over. You will not admit to it, but clearly you have learned a lot about Linux from them... things you do not like. It is why you troll me so much.

Marek Novotny
You've taught nothing. Lying about it won't help either. Anyone can watch your videos and see how right on I am. Try to even touch a subject as complex as lvm as I do. Come up with the slides. Come up with a working model environment and teach it from start to finish, in a single, unedited cut. You'll quickly see that what I did is pretty astonishingly hard to do.

Snit
Again: you can twist all you want but you have DEMONSTRATED that you have learned from my videos. And what you learned has upset you.

Marek Novotny
LOL. what video do claim I have learned from? Show some direct evidence.

Snit
Look at how you lash out in anger over my videos... clearly you learned things about Linux you did not like. Look at even just PDF annotations... you knew NOTHING of how Linux compared to the competition. Heck, look at ANY of these videos:

For that matter, my videos get comments and views from people outside of COLA... where yours are mostly ignored in and out of COLA.

Marek Novotny
I only show my videos to the cola audience and once in a while to AOL. Once to show how to format and work with group rights, setid, setfacl and so on. I have yet to see you do anything beyond the obvious.

Snit
And yet these "obvious" things are beyond you. Interesting.

<https://youtu.be/Mf2oZ4Tfi28> Filled with insults and accusations, and lies, and ZERO comments.

<https://youtu.be/JRpc-3P1Rv4>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/tSEWEAxaWjI>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/xg8DqBLUCls>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/DyTZfcuzvew>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/Iv8SeOcz2PY>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/hLEVf3O91iU>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/as6PxPnnqvc>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/KPZhMhbTfPo>Zero comments. <https://youtu.be/qaSSkeVYcGk>Zero comments.

Ok, checked the next several. ONE COMMENT here: <https://youtu.be/-_AHF3-329k>

Do you have any comments on ANY of your videos?

Marek Novotny
You videos suck dude. Show me YOUR BEST video, and I'll watch. Pick one video that you feel is the best one you have, and I'll give you my honest view of it.

Snit
Watch any video of mine you want. But notice how you get clearly angry when I show the reactions your videos have gotten.

Marek Novotny
What reaction on my videos would anger me? LOL.

Snit
Try reading what you responded to again. :)

Now most of my "Snit COLA" videos are just a couple minutes and made for just this group... but even then I have ones like this:'

<https://youtu.be/V791-XhhOxY> <https://youtu.be/ugylM7iVZos> <https://youtu.be/sdSiYE7lbQI>

And of course that is just my "junk" account. If you go to my "real" YouTube account you will see things like this:

<https://youtu.be/NvrpuBAMddw> <https://youtu.be/2hUUaG4o3DA>

Far more comments and 3,400 subscribers (which is really NOTHING compared to popular channels).

Marek Novotny
And how long has the channel existed?

Mine is only on cola. And you have what, 4 subscribers due to cola? I have 30 or so only due to cola and perhaps the one or two times I posted outside of cola.

Snit
Gee, you are a part of a cult-like group and you get subscribers. By the way, I am one of them (but not a part of the cult-like group).

Marek Novotny
So if you're not in a cult, why do you think others are? Paranoia snit. It's a lifestyle.

Snit
Look at the bizarre obsession your cult has with me. Look at how you each lie to back each other. Look at your irrational views you all accept or at least refuse to question, with few if any exceptions.

I can provide a list and see which YOU are willing to reject. I bet, at most, one.

Marek Novotny
I'm also doing things like gpg and slrn. Hardly a crowd starter. Dumb bitches do make up videos and get millions of views. I don't compare myself to the stupid teen watching some dumb bitch talk about lipstick.

Snit
Face it, by any metric your videos are not doing as you claim.

Marek Novotny
What aren't they doing that I claim they are? Be specific and back it up. You can start with explaining what it is I claim they do with direct evidence.

Snit
Teaching people. You offer no real evidence. You get no comments. You do not speak of how long people even watch you videos.

Heck, even this one which is just ten minutes of static has a LOT more interaction than yours:

<https://youtu.be/mfycQJrzXCA>

But unlike you I am still open to learning... open to experimentation... open to doing things better and listening to the advice of others. And unlike you I am not even claiming my videos there are all that "special"... I have no interest in your you-vs-me nonsense, I merely post the above in RESPONSE to your focus on that.

Marek Novotny
I claim they are good because they are good. Like I said, seriously, go find a video on tar that teaches you more real world tar than I do. Go find a video that actually walks a n00b through installing slrn and configuring the conf file manually for the first time. Tells the user how to restore it if they fuck it up. Find just one that does this.

Snit
I am not putting your videos down... though I have noted where they can improve. But you are very full of yourself.

Marek Novotny
If I didn't like the video, I'd remove it, or perhaps not post it in the first place. I'm confident. And I'm not blind to what's out there, which is a lot of crap.

Snit
Oh, you advertise your insecurity all the time. That is what your you-vs-me nonsense is all about. You feel threatened by me (which is stupid since our skill sets are so different and you DO have good skills). Notice I have no need to insult you or put down your skills... I am not scared and insecure.

Marek Novotny
Find one video on lvm that is even remotely close to the ease and comfort of mine. Seriously, show me a link of a better one. They will draw on a board, speak hypothetically, and not actually do anything. I actually do everything, live, right in front of you. I create it from scratch, make the lvm, grow it, shrink it, make a snap shot of it, etc. You will learn more about lvm in one single video that makes sense.

So me one video of yours you think compares to what I do.

Snit
Any of the ones I link to, above. :)

Marek Novotny
Okay, watching this one.

https://youtu.be/V791-XhhOxY

It's crap. Find me anyone else in here who disagrees with my opinion that this video is idiotic and obvious. Anyone can open the app for the first time and discover easily everything you're talking about. This represents ZERO skill what so ever.

Like I said, your videos are crap.

Snit
Look at the comments. LOL! It is true that since I made that video for COLA I did not go into details... so I pointed someone asking for help to a better video.

I taught.

I educated.

I made a difference in someone's life.

Now show that with one of your videos. :)

Anway, does not mean I will always take the advice, of course, but I do not share your arrogance. And I wish you well... I hope you get from your YouTube channel what you want. If you did end up with more comments and views and subscriptions I would be happy for you and not feel threatened in any way.

Marek Novotny
If I wanted a bigger audience, I'd talk about it outside of usenet. I don't care. Not a media whore. And I have no desire to cater to ADD idiots. I make what I am interested in making. If you want to to watch you can. If not, I don't care.

Snit
Your whole focus is trying to "prove" how much better you are than me. Of course you care about those things.

Marek Novotny
not at all.

Snit
Your primary focus in life is trying to convince yourself you are better than me. Watch how it comes up over and over and over. You want to convince yourself. And you keep failing.

Marek Novotny
My videos are for anyone interested. You just happen to be comparing yourself to me, which I find pretty laughable. I couldn't make a video this stupid and not laugh my ass off all the way through it. What dumb fuck is watching this?

I see 377 views and ONE up vote. Let me guess, you up voted yourself? LOL.

Snit
Funny how I bite at YOUR comparison then you try to blame me. Almost like Owl blaming me for his word games or Carroll blaming me for his flooding.

Hey, did you ever figure out how wrong you were about Carroll being me? Can't believe you actually fell for the "Everyone is Snit" gag and took it seriously. It is not MEANT to be taken seriously... people in COLA are JOKING when they push that overused and absurd gag.
