So I watch videos on Youtube, as we all do, but about things like debates. I end up commenting, and it ALWAYS turns into an argument.
People will begin personally attacking me, telling me to die etc.
I was wondering, at what point do I tell YouTube/report the user?

Dragonflymagic answered Monday June 10 2013, 1:57 pm: I watch alot of videos and movies on You tube myself. I read peoples comments from time to time. Of all the places on the internet where people can leave comments, this is the one venue where I always see people fighting. The person who downloaded the video is not watching or monitoring who writes what like in a chat room or other such place. So, the worst of society is usually posting there, the most immature people and trying to pick arguments with others. An argument can not ensue if the person picked on does not respond back. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how stupid, childish, immature or totally incorrect they are. You only have control over how you act and react. There is nothing in the world you could say to another to teach them how to be more intelligent, see the error of their ways, be more mature. If it was possible, the world would be a very different place. You might critique your own comments or ask a friend saying you saw such a comment (not saying it was yours) and how they got picked on. Ask if they see anything wrong with the original comment. If they do, don't get mad at them, just think about it and how you can improve how you communicate so things cant be taken wrong by those hearing you. Always be willing to grow and become a better person. Don;t chose not to just because everyone else is living their lives like they live in the gutter.
