Sometimes it's hard to tell when you're being serious or not. If you're honestly this pissed off over this, holy shit. Shakycam is annoying, most people will agree on that. By complaining about a video shot in shakycam, it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the fact that someone took the time to upload this, and that I don't appreciate the fact that it was shared here on the forum. It is not reasonable to expect someone to put a "I appreciate x, y, and z" before issuing criticism (especially semi-constructive criticism). This is doubly-so when we're talking about a non-forum member that I have no way of directly addressing (in which case I never would have said anything of the sort), and when I am making a statement about shakycam footage that is rampant on Youtube in general, not bitching exclusively at the person that uploaded this specific video.
There is nothing wrong with my mental capabilities, and while every man is inherently selfish I spend a great deal of time and energy analyzing WHY I do things, WHY I think things, and if I am fairly interpreting things or just interpreting things through the lens of my existing bias. Yes, I was pissy this morning. Yes, I worded things more negatively than I would have otherwise. No, I was not exclusively criticizing the person who shot this video, nor was I simply bitching for the sake of bitching.
