Blocking comments in youtube - a feature available since 2013.

Interesting that you have no comment on the FireFox extensions?

Sandman
I know nothing about any comment-blocking firefox extensions. I know these explicit statements are incorrect:

"Only way to block comments was with a Firefox extension which no longer works..."

And ironically, this statement, which has turned out to be very incorrect:

"When I make mistakes I am happy to admit to them"

OK, here is the mistake I made... I did not give credit to Peter for the ideas I was pushing. :)

I speaks of how those of you who troll COLA are very predictable. I made a prediction and, I admit, I was a bit off. I expected Marek to rip into "my" ideas and say how utterly insane they were. And, you, too. A Firefox extension? What the hell? That is utter nonsense... but I goofed in assuming Marek (and later you) would be able to understand that. Neither of you did. You guys did figure out the part about not being able to block quotes was absurd.

Still, I shall keep doing this from time to time... quoting Peter and seeing how Marek and others who troll COLA react when "I" say things as stupid as the does. Those of you who troll COLA do not call out Peter but I still bet you will jump all over me if I use *his* claims. Might even use others.

Another mistake I made was to use his quote exactly... one you could have looked it up, but two, his English is not great (not a put down, it is not his first language... he, like you, do fine there, even if you use some "odd" phrases and the like... again, NOT a putdown in any way).

So this is the content I was using (even made a video on it!):

Peter Köhlmann: ----- I have a pretty good idea why you try to avoid sites like YouTube: They can be commented. And you fear the comments more than everything else -----

Snit: ----- You can block comments on YouTube. -----

Peter Köhlmann: ----- Really? Do you really think that your Firefox extension will still work? Why would YouTube allow to disable comments? They have activly disabled all extensions which tried to do that And the mere fact that you know about disabling comments (even if it does not work anymore) shows that you have tried to do just that. Because you can't stand having comments about your idiocy -----

Peter thinks a local Firefox extension could disable comments on a public server (until YouTube "disabled" that ability), showing ignorance one might expect from an octogenarian newbie. More detail here: <http://youtu.be/iFFF_DQPgiI>. Note: comments are on. :)

And, of course, Peter never admitted he was wrong. :)

-- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
