This is how I see it: A YouTuber makes video where he pans the Maverick, then makes an account at MTC to promote his video, but disingenuously starts a thread about the video, claiming it was made by someone else, but that the content of the video was “spot on”.I was saddened on yesterday when I saw an otherwise interesting thread devolve into name calling and profanity laced insults. It seems as if it got so bad that it was closed to further comments. Most of us are older people . We can do better. We're talking about a TRUCK. It's not that serious.. I enjoy this forum because we're civil even in our disagreements. When I want to watch a nasty back and forth,mingo to twitter, Facebook,and Threads
. Anyway, let's do better God bless.
Then when someone accuses him of making the video himself and self promoting, he gets very defensive.
So then someone else jumps in and starts to mock and belittle the YouTube video, because it is a hatchet job of a review on the Maverick. And in response, the OP starts to get super offended and defensive about a video, which he supposedly did not make or have any connection to.
Which then leads everyone else to pile on about how bad the video review is, causing the OP’s temper to boil.
Then on page 5, Art Vandelay jumps in and very skillfully starts to “troll the troll”, slowly and subtly at first and then openly after the OP has taken the bait.
And that leads to a complete temper tantrum / meltdown of the OP, slinging insults and obscenities at everyone that had criticized the review video, that was supposedly made by a third party, that he had no connection to. Which makes absolutely no sense, unless this guy was the author of the video and he was lying to everyone about it.
In my opinion, OP of that thread was disingenuous, hypocritical and self aggrandizing, and that he got what he deserved when other forum members criticized him.
And the swearing and insults were only coming from the OP of the thread, which led to him being banned.
As far as the “we can do better sentiment” goes, I think the other members that commented on the thread were not being unreasonable in bringing up criticisms of a video that repeatedly panned the Maverick.
