bahahahahha! i love these parodies. I was thinking about the microsoft table one today- "The future is here, and it's a big ass table"

muahahahaha

that it does please (about the voting agreement)

however, as for the blackmailing... whether or not you think you were not blackmailing or even if you actually weren't (whichever, I don't really want to debate it); just keep in mind that I am not the only one who walked away from that initial discussion on SiftTalk with the impression that some amount of blackmail was taking place. My only point here is that you should remember this in future dealings here on the sift, and make certain never to give the rest of us any reason to think that you are operating in any manner other than a straightforward and honest way.

and please don't respond to this, I am tired of dealing with you on this matter.

“we've already been over why your post got discarded so I am going to spend very little time on it as I tire of going round and round with you about it....

k, that's nice

[...] I really think you need to accept it and move on.

k

[...] and you shouldn't be surprised when people respond to you in kind...

well, it happens, i guess it's normal

probably more than a few sifters here would like to reach through the series of tubes seperating you from them and throttle you, I have certainly felt that urge on more than one occasion.

oh, lol, come on.

You need to accept that you are not "all that we ask of a God and more" (I think that was how your profile used to go), and therefore, nobody here is going to feel inclined to treat you with any measure of respect until you earn it.

sounds perfectly reasonable.

you were basically blackmailing ockhamist to change the embed code on his post. By saying, do this and I will do this, and pretty much holding that over his head, is, by definition, blackmail,
no, i wasn't.

please, i've considered seriously everything you said, and i'm agreeing with you with most things you said.

but this isn't even remotely true.

i hate blackmailing and i really don't like people accusing me of that, especially if it isn't true.

please reconsider this thought, and notice i never ever menaced him of *anything* at all. I've been rude with other people, ok, but with him i did nothing more than politely asking to replace his video.

my proposal was to discard my video if he replaced his, how on earth this could be seen as a blackmail? to him?

seriously, you were right in many things, i grant you this, but that blackmail-thing is fiction.

will you reconsider that, please?

[...] This is great, I'm all for sift quality, but let me just tell you now, that if you start going about downvoting everything that does not meet the looris stamp of approval you are only going to make more enemies,

i think i can live with that - but please read on

[...]
Really, downvoting to bolster your own agenda does nothing to enhance the sift... just think about it, if everyone who hated family guy (and there are many of us) did this, just how many vids do you think you would have published? You've got a gold star now, play with your new powers and your collective and be happy. Enhance the sift by posting good quality vids and maintaining a successful collective, but don't do it by bumming things out for others... everybody wants a gold star, and more, don't piss on their dreams just because you happen to dislike slo-mo... Or rather, as a compromise, if you still feel you have to downvote if only to make the statement that "I looris, am not down with the slo-mo" make it after the vid is published, that way nobody gets upset... for the most part, this is what ant does, and we've all come to just accept him for it.”

that's fine.

a nice idea, i didn't think about that, and i think i'll follow your advice.

i'll still downvote videos with bad title even if they are in queue, but for the rest i can wait them to be published.

i hope this satisfies you.”d
