YouTube Preference Poll

Not Guilty On All Charges

I sincerely appreciate your considered response, but I would like to offer some comments.

Those "two jerks" that caused all this are the medical conditions of Arthritis and Corporal Tunnel Syndrome. Humor does have its pitfalls, but gee whizz, I did put a smiley face at the end of the paragraph

I can only hope that you would feel differently had you realized that I was joking about a condition that was causing me to seriously consider abandoning reloading entirely. I believe this misunderstanding extends to other interpretations of my post that you mention, as well.

If I had actually, on this forum, referred to two live humans as "jerks" I would feel that I deserved your comments.
I did not do so.

The thread seemed to start off with an attitude issue and you seem to be responding to comments of "two jerks" in making the video. Not sure what that is about, but no reason to follow through.

I finally gave in to the "off-press priming movement" sweeping the forum... well what I really gave into was those two jerks, Arthur Rightus and Corporal Tunnel.
They don't seem inclined to cut anybody any slack

Mmorris,,All I can say is do the best you can, There are always Monday morning or arm chair quarterbacks. It's easy to be a critic,
You Tube videos are not going to win an Oscar or whatever. From your poll the majority will watch.

Some people just don't get humor or off beat jokes, Don't worry about it,

If your record them, people will watch

I voted "none of the above," because the number of You-Tube videos I look at during a year's time can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Once and awhile I will hear of something that seriously attracts my attention.

For that matter I don't do Facebook or Twitter either. Put frankly I'd rather spend the available time right here.

It is very difficult for me to get an understanding of group dynamics with only written communications. To understand an audience I cannot see or hear, I have to slowly gather information that is available instantly in person. Old habits are hard to break, and I slipped into the old habits of my classroom.

I had the impression posting links to YouTube videos might be offensive to the group at large. I was wrong.

Early on in the thread I realized my blunder. It was too late.

In spite of the phrasing of the question, this was never about my video in particular. It was about the acceptability of my forum contributions. Meaning: If I am unintentionally doing something in my posts that is unacceptable to 80% of the forum I feel I should change my ways.

Thank you to all who liked the video. I never intended that anyone look at it who was not actively considering which bench primer to purchase. I think I should adopt the Joe Friday M.O. for writing in addition to video.

Being straight up and up front when asking questions is always the best way.

I am not a big fan of long drawn out "produced" videos that are high on "fluff" vs stuff.

If I include a video it is supplemental to what I have written and other photos I have posted. I bet the average length of the videos I have are under 1 min.

This is the shortest one I have posted at 5 seconds long.

However, try and come up with a way to explain creating a device that will take a collated nose up bullet and invert it nose down for sizing as quickly as one can "see" it. It took less time to build the device to demonstrate the concept than it did trying to explain my idea the first time.

5 seconds of video turns "I don't understand" into "Oh, yeah, that's easy."

FWIW, if someone posts a link without an explanation, or short intro about the content, I just back out and go to another thread...
