Is there anywhere where we can see top to bottom channel rankings? I'm really curious to see where the wheels channel is, and try and guess if it'll ever make the top ten.
Purely idle curiosity, obviously not a pressing matter.
It seems to me that your mind has been made up, so it is futile to discuss any further with you.
Good day, sir.

You continue to downplay your role in matters to the point of self-delusion- I'm leaving this discussion here- but my original message stands, please keep your feuds contained in profile comments or off the Sift. In complete honesty - I would prefer that you left the community- as I think there is some risk in your attitudes and behaviour to others. If you're going to stay, please prove me wrong by not hurting the Sift further.
In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
I have no reason to change. The married woman who I groped have not left the sift, the two of us have settled it outside of the sift and are each continuing as productive members of the sift as well. The only person who have left because of me - that I know of - is peggedbea, and with the massive personal attack she made in her "flame off", I don't feel the loss.
alien_concept, by her own words (check the thread), had intended to leave anyhow, evil_disco_man left as well, but not because of this, or at least not solely because of this. Who else is there?
I am not a danger to this community, even though some people like to see me that way - I'm part of what makes this community great. I don't break rules, I sift popular videos, I fix dead videos, I socialize with sifters. You may be scared of me all you like, but I am no threat to the Videosift community, which is something I hold quite dear too. (If nothing else, my history should damn well reflect this.)
It seems to me that you have made it abundantly to me that you don't take a neutral stance and just "take the side of the sift", you work based of rumors as well as the rest of the mongrels. You judged me quite quickly during the whole alien_concept leaving thread, which I certainly did not appreciate. You also gave me a whole lot of shit for making a comment on the what's-her-face "seen her naked" video as well. This is not appreciated as well. You should be impartial, dedicated to the sift and to the truth - you instead chose to be dedicated to all the butt-hurt users who complained. Like when burdturgler complained about "spook" being used by quantumushroom and blankfist. These are not admirable leadership methods. I agree that you have to walk a balancing act at all times with such things, but consistently making the wrong choice is a bad move.
I am very appreciative that videosift is such an open community as it is, which is completely your doing. If it had been most other advanced forums, I would have been banned for life for disagreeing with an administrator. I applaud that you allow dissenting voices to be heard, but I don't like to be admonished, neither on my profile page or in polls I make. The jabs you got in in the poll were just cheap shots and they were quite unjustified. You should be bigger than that.
In reply to this comment by dag:
Just to be clear, I don't find your cockiness admirable- several great contributors to VideoSift have left due to your actions. You have hurt the Sift, whose side I'm on. I'm concerned that the actions you've admitted to, groping a married woman, and member of the Sift make you a danger to the community. As I said, I'm on VideoSift's side- and have to do what I can to make this a safe place. Your continued belligerent behaviour makes me think that you're not going to change.
In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
My cockiness is a trait to be admired. I am not against videosift in any way, and my post was juvenile, so I'm sorry for that. I do wonder why I am singled out in this, when so many others have posted much more hate in comments. Makes you wonder.
My feud will be where it is relevant, which is to say I will keep it to profiles as much as is needed. If it spills into other stuff, I will not be the reason for it from now on.
In reply to this comment by dag:
The depth of your cockiness is almost funny, but not quite. I'm not on anyone's side here except videosift. Please keep your feud on profiles or offline.
In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
I was just wondering when you las admonished rasch for his vicious attack on my person? Is it that you've chosen a side already?
My post was not a necropost - he, himself, renewed it in http://blog.videosift.com/Lann/Hey-VS-Art-Hooligans#comment-886812 so I responded to that. I assure you that my hate is completely new and fresh. He started it, I'm just following through and countering his attacks with re-attacks.
If that is all you have to say, then please refrain from posting on my profile in the future. If you have something to say - and perhaps apologize for - you are completely free to post, but know that anything else, from now on, will be deleted (which is really just "hidden") by me.
You have chosen your side and it is the wrong one. I only hope that you will realize it at some point.
Cheerio mate.

If you want to continue your little grudge match - keep it in profiles.

I appreciate your concern and you have a point- but I'm not dragging more people into this conversation- I've said my piece and have registered your disappointment, thanks.
In reply to this comment by UsesProzac:
You'll never grasp the situation wholly unless you're a direct part of it. And who are these "several" people who have left the Sift because of him??
In reply to this comment by dag:
Why do you assume I'm referring to gossip? I don't think I referenced anything unsubstantiated in my comments and I have communicated with the people involved.
In reply to this comment by UsesProzac:
Wow. I'm really disappointed in you.. "Hurting the Sift" Every time I hear that phrase, I think less of it. For someone who claims to be impartial, you really take gossip to heart.

I'm tired of seeing people who have no business in this shit calling him delusional and a sociopath. It really disturbs me how far this has gone.

If you honestly think that Gwiz is a dangerous person[hah!], quit pussy footing around and ban him. You started it with your snide remarks..
I didn't want to butt in, but this last comment of yours really offended me. Gwiz didn't do anything wrong to the Sift. Policing his actions outside of the Sift seems a bit fucked up, like getting suspended from school for doing drugs at a friend's house. O_o

Could you resurrect this: http://www.videosift.com/poll/For-the-old-timers-Should-Choggie-be-allowed-back-in-the-sift ?
Seems like gwiz didn't like it when someone questioned him, so he discarded it. It was a poll under discussion and it wasn't even close to being finished.
It's my poll, I'm allowed to do that. Make your own poll rasch.
edit: Sorry, this was supposed to be profile reply.

^Yes, how dare anyone question the all-knowing oracles of medical knowledge.
I think the reason that many geeky type people always toe the main-stream medical line is because they conflate medicine with science (which we all love). Yes, it's almost the same, but if I had to draw it as a venn diagram, there would be a crescent of over-hang. Medicine to me is 80% science and then the rest is filled in with dogma, patriarchy and business ($$).
That crescent of non-science is the part that makes me squirm. I don't think it's that wrong to question medical programs like vaccinations- with the idea that it may be being pushed non-scientifically by the medical industrial complex. (big pharma).
Bill Maher is not a kook.
I'm not sure what his version of rightists believe in or don't believe in, but as for Libertarians, which is what I am, most do believe in Objectivism. It's a good sounding principle, but Rand believed in war and violence from what I know of her, so I cannot say I believe in her positions, to be honest.
Libertarians, however, certainly do not hate immigrants or Hollywood. I believe in open borders and I live in Los Angeles. Kind of a sweeping generalization on the columnists part, and I'm sure I'd probably not fit tidily into his narrow-minded right-wing paradigm.
It's an interesting albeit shallow article. But remember, he writes opinion columns!
