I deny accusations that I am monetizing Corky's content. I remind him that according to the Supreme Court case involving 2 Live Crew and their parody of Pretty Woman, that monetization is not invalidation of fair use. http://goo.gl/oPVmIS Fair use allows for the limited use of another's content for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and parody according to the 1976 Copyright Act. I further state that Corky has made this bogus claims against others who do reupload his full content unedited and yet has not been able to document any proof. I will grant it is possible somewhere in the vastness of the internet someone has monetized his work, but it is not known to me and not known to Corky, or else he would have used it when asked for proof.
In this video I also deny the claim that I never publicly stated that Brett and I had regular skype sessions, where we talk. http://happycabbie.blogspot.com/2012/08/feeling-used.html For the record, anyone who has ever had Brett Keane on skype knows full well that he will spend hours on end talking to you on skype if you let him. While Brett has occasionally cheered me up, many times it was Brett who required attention.
Brett Keane is also incorrect when he states that I never posted videos supporting him. http://youtu.be/W5uvaCPwvPw Also there was this video I did when his KeaneVlogs channel was shut down. http://youtu.be/TFBqQ-CZSFI In addition to the many times we went on BlogTV together either in my room or his room. You can go through my twitter feed to see how many times I promoted his events.
Brett Keane also says I never gave him credit when I occasionally asked for his assistance in the YouTube Help Forums. Then what the smurf is this? http://goo.gl/K4Hj8d
Brett Claims that I along with Christian Fairytale, Sheri226, and Dialectickaos created the forum. Technically this information is not as public as the others. You will need to create an account to view it but any member can view the members list. http://goo.gl/XDpvgH
Fun fact Corky not only joined the forum MONTHS before I did, but used to promote the forum on his YouTube channel. He also has two other accounts, on the forum. In total he is one of the most active participants on that forum when you count the number of posts.
Brett's claim that I am friends with those on the Corky forum shows that he actually thinks that people won't follow up and verify his bullwinkle. He also makes many references to my 9 posts on the forum. Well lets see what these 9 posts are.

On this post on the other ED thread where I again ask people to respect his privacy I am met with mixed reviews. http://goo.gl/z0kJ61
My post on this thread where Corky posts a video asking me what I think of his car so I tell him, then he gets mad because I am talking about his car. http://goo.gl/PIyMJb
Corky while living in his RV posted a video about wise investments and discussed a book called the Rules of Money. A friend of mine did the photoshop so I sent this over to the Forum. http://goo.gl/rVGljz As you know Corky had requested people in the forum make more photoshops of him. http://goo.gl/PBEh2t

It should also be noted that this forum is the second one that was created. The first one was created as a joke according to Admin AllMyMirrors. http://goo.gl/H7cTn5 and was even promoted by Corky himself where he told his subscribers to go and join the forum. http://youtu.be/9VcZS0Bb58s
Brett Keane has stated that in skype I laugh when I think about Corky's problems. This was a month ago. See for yourself. http://twitpic.com/d6wn2n/full
It also goes against what I stated publicly here. http://goo.gl/zSkgIw Here is me offering Corky a place to live after he was evicted in 2011 http://youtu.be/Vz67ATGfn0kIt only took 30 secondsFacepalmResponse2013-08-05 | Regarding Brett Keane's latest video. I only needed 30 seconds to compile all the data I needed to prove him wrong. Of course all the info is public and can be verified by anyone. Feel free to try it yourself. Epic Pwnage is coming later tonight.
Point 1. Brett says I have repeatedly claimed that Corky has done horrible things to me (as if to imply that my claim is false.
Point 2. I have monetized Corky's work and I am making money from his content.
Point 3. I have never acknowledged the things that Brett has done for me.
Point 4. I have never acknowledged to the public the skype sessions that Brett and I have had nor that I have had with his family.
Point 5. I have never stated anything positive about Brett Keane in the year and a half that we were friends, instead I only focused on the videos he made against me.
Point 6. I never acknowledged his expertise when I would go to him for assistance.
Point 7. I along with Sheri226, Christian Fairytale, and DialectChaos created the Corky Forum.
Point 8. My goal in offering the debate was to "save" Corky.
Point 9. I am friends with everyone on the Corky Forum.
Point 10. Sheri226 is one of the main attackers of Corky and she sends me pictures of her feet.
Point 11. I don't care about what happens to Corky

Something is obviously wrong with me for me to allow this person in my life knowing he is going to continue to do this nonsense. Anyway here is the truth.
You can finish watching the wrap up show if you like and you can hear Brett popping in from time to time trolling the room.
Long story short, Brett was more than happy to participate in the same group that he is now criticising me for being in. Second, you can see from watching the debate I provided ballance to the room by defending Onision, something else Brett Keane forgot to say.Debate Challenge to OnisionFacepalmResponse2013-07-03 | Please contact me via my HappyCabbie channel or by twitter.
Rather than having your personal life be the topic of the debate as it was with your previous debates I would like to discuss an actual topic. Is pornography beneficial towards society or is it exploitation of women?
Second, nobody set AgentofDoubt up. He was given a bunch of links each one more shocking than the next just to see how low his standards were. It turns out he was willing to list any channel that was flagged down no matter how shocking the content.
Third the claim that I am the only one capable of flagging down a bunch of channels is also without merit. There is a group of us and I am not even the most active one.
Fourth, let's not forget the lie that AgentofDoubt said about me. Anyone remember when he put up a video claiming that I had lost my partnership? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq05H0DHZ00 He had no evidence, yet he felt compelled to put my name up in his video.
Also let's not forget him totally missing the joke on my video about Twinkies.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6muexSAqI_g
AgentofDoubt now you may cry the victim all you want, but that still does not relieve you of accountability. It is one thing to put up a series about people who were flagged and try to offer support, I have even put up some videos myself to show support to my friends when they were flagged. However, there HAS to be standards. There HAS to be a line drawn where you say that some content does not deserve to be on YouTube. Hopefully some day we learn what your standard is.

How the video came to be. BoogieNapalm (now known as NapalmThePhoenix) posted a funny video about how sad he was that ED was taken down. Napalm is famous for his rants and this was a classic. If anyone has a copy they should upload it, it was really great. Pamew is a guy I knew on YouTube who had done a few audio only versions of some funny songs. I sent him the idea for this song, along with a few ideas for the lyrics, but he composed most of the lyrics himself. He then sent me the audio file and I got to work finding the pictures to edit the perfect video together and boom a classic was born.

BlogTV was recently sold to YouNow and will be shutting down so I have been moving my videos over to YouTube. Subscribe to Brett at http://www.youtube.com/keanevlogsHappyCabbie is a Passive Agressive DoucheFacepalmResponse2013-02-20 | Posting a video response to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsg-ehVg3sY who is trying to convince people that Machinima fired Onision for not getting enough views despite him getting more views than some of Machinima's own Hub Channels. Some bullwinkle is just too good to pass up so I am doing this for the lulz.
He later fesses up that his source is a copy of DJ Keemstar's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrfZeXveJcw A few obvious errors should be pointed out. First note the blue section displayed later in the video starting at the 1:01 mark. The channels in the blue section he claim are Machinima Channels. While this video is a month old and some of the people such as xJawz have since left Machinima, there are two channels listed that never were with Machinima. These two are ImprovEverywhere and PsychicPebbles.
DJ Keemstar as everyone knows is an internet troll so any claim of his is highly dubious. So when he claims that he is showing us Official Machinima documents (which look like they were done in MS Paint) and the documents contain obvious errors such as who is and who is NOT in their Network, it throws every other claim into question. Would you trust a road map that listed Alberquerque as the state capital of New Mexico?
I guess I have to explain to Someguy827 that Machinima can't really fire one of their Partners because it doesn't work that way. The contract can either be terminated or simply not renewed.
At the time Onision joined Machinima they were still signing people up to their lifetime contracts which officially do not exist yet here is a copy http://imgur.com/a/NLm5P#2 however only directors were being signed up to this contract. A director is someone who produces content for one of Machinima's Hub Channels. It is unlikely that Onision was a director, most likely he signed the same contract I did, their two year entertainer contract. If that is the case he would have been paid $2.00 for every 1000 monetizable views, about a third of the views are not monetizable due to adblock and other things.
Someguy827 has not elaborated on how he came up with the total for Onision costing Machinima $7,500. The simple reason is he can't. He knew all along that he can't because his source his only source is a known internet troll DJ Keemstar who himself has been causing problems for Machinima for a long time. (Keemstar used to be a director with them until they parted ways)
Now if I were to take a guess, at how the number was calculated I would like to refer you to the YouTube blog. This blog was written about the same time as the Keemstar video was posted. http://youtubecreator.blogspot.com/2013/01/whats-happening-with-view-counts.html It is well known that Onision has had several flagged videos especially on his main channel. Just do a search for Onision Flagged and you find lots of copies. He also has privated some videos.
During the time of December Socialblade was listing many channels with negative views, this led to some on the help forums to think their was a glitch and others were even posting videos accusing some of using bots, when it was simply just YouTube substracting views from your channel if your video was privated, deleted, or removed.
It is my speculation that Onision had a drop in views as a result of this policy and that is where the $7,500 figure came from. Ignoring the fact that this subtraction in views didn't cost Machinima one cent as they are paid by YouTube for ad impressions and the advertisers bought the ads in December and everybody got paid.
Ok that is enough, although Machinima has lots of hub channels and Onision beats about half of them in views, yet Someguy827 is trying to convince us that Machinima fired him for not getting enough views at the same time they are signing up partners with less than 1,000 subscribers?

Like most of their videos, this one was a sponsored video. In their video description it says: Thanks to Gillette for making this video possible - #KissandTell
Of course in my opinion there is nothing wrong with sponsored videos, in fact nobody does it better than Rhettandlink who have been able to turn their music and sketch videos into a very profitable advertising medium. I wish them all the best.

This video preserves there final farewell to YouTube.
That being said in case they ever decide to return, the internet of course does not ever forget, but the internet also moves on to new things quite quickly. The Atheists on YouTube are always looking for the latest chew toy. In times past it has been me, this week it is you. Just because you pissed all over the internet does not mean that you should An Hero your channel, just learn from this and press forward.
Remember how upset everyone was with me with my Prop 8 video of last year, life goes on. Don't be a stranger and remember you didn't lose all your subscribers. There are still people who want to hear about your latest video.
The Vegeta clip at the end was in jest, don't take it seriously.
It should be noted that Darkmatter2525 later posted a bulletin expressing regret for taking part in this. Here is his bulletin as of January 14, 2013
"I regret "dramagate" because I no longer agree with the methods or reasons it was done. Though I did feel a bit dragged into it, I didn't really resist it as I should've either, and I let it go on without meaningful direction and consideration. I apologize. Telling others what they should PREFER (note: not "believe") or to actually impose preference on others is extremely misguided. "Drama" is subjective. I didn't intend any of this. I'm continuing my usual content without perpetuating it. Thx"
Those who later changed their minds about Dramagate were sold out by the three main contributors LiveLife8072, NegationofP, and TheTexasCanadian. youtube.com/watch?v=IlMwKXdZN5I It should also be pointed out that contrary to their claim that WeisApple was in on this, she denies any involvement and has posted this video to clear her name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YxgAEO6V50
For the record on January 14th Darkmatter2525 sent out this bulletin. "I regret "dramagate" because I no longer agree with the methods or reasons it was done. Though I did feel a bit dragged into it, I didn't really resist it as I should've either, and I let it go on without meaningful direction and consideration. I apologize. Telling others what they should PREFER (note: not "believe") or to actually impose preference on others is extremely misguided. "Drama" is subjective. I didn't intend any of this. I'm continuing my usual content without perpetuating it. Thx"
When these videos were uploaded in the second week of January, they all said the same thing in their video descriptions and also in the comment replies. That they couldn't explain what the accusation against Darkmatter2525 was until the victims had a chance to contact the police. They all promised to reveal the big secret on Saturday on BlogTV
Shortly after that BlogTV show each of the contributors put up an explanation video to their audience. Some only remained up for a few hours until they had regrets and took their videos down. I have found most of these thanks to http://www.youtube.com/losoyo and http://www.youtube.com/mistressarte
Once some key players such as Darkmatter2525 and MeridianFrost expressed regrets the dramagate organizers changed their story and essentially sold them out as seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlMwKXdZN5I
In the end the Dramagate Organizers have announced they are going to An Hero their channels.DramaGate revealed on Skeptic FenceFacepalmResponse2013-01-20 | Recorded from BlogTV January 12, 2012. BlogTV allows the use of recording for other use.

Now while I find the user rkwatson and her side to be a bit nutty, especially when she considers being asked out for coffee a form of sexual harassment ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKHwduG1Frk ), to completely dismiss the notion that sexual harassment at conferences is NOT happening and should not be addressed is equally nutty.
The Crimson Moon, a sexual fetish for spanking club, has a sexual harassment policy why can't Atheist Meetups?
"We are all adults (minimum age 19), and the club has no say in what takes place behind closed doors among consenting adults. That said, intimate sexual contact, drinking of alcoholic beverages, and drugs are not permitted in group areas. WE ARE NOT A SWINGERS CLUB! The only "swinging" that takes place in our party room is the swing of paddles, crops, canes and floggers! Gentlemen are expected to be on their best behavior; inappropriate touching or fondling of a lady WILL result in prompt expulsion from the party and the club. NO MEANS NO!"
Thunderf00t I think YOU need to rewatch one of your own videos as of lately you have been the one "dividing the house of atheism"
And it is more than just your video, it is your constant promotion of any video that criticizes the FTB people via favoriting their videos which shows up on the subscriber feeds as well as on your Twitter.

What he did was none of my business and if MrRepzion wishes to meddle in someone's marriage then I need to mind my own beeswax and stay out of it.
A family comes forward to have one of their own healed. One is quadriplegic and the other is walking but claims to use a wheelchair due to pain, which one will be healed? Now I am not criticising anyone's religious beliefs here, however I do have to ask John Mellor Ministries why they did not post a video of the quadriplegic being healed. It is entirely possible that he was and the video has not yet been uploaded to YouTube. However the skeptic in me questions the validity of the claim of healing when all you presented was a person who was capable of walking prior to being healed is still able to walk.
Now it should also be noted that a majority of American doctors themselves believe in miracles. In 2004 a survey found that almost 75 percent of doctors believe in miracles. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20041220005244/en/Science-Miracle-Holiday-Season-Survey-Reveals-Physicians Now as an atheist I do have to admit that at times things do happen for which their is no logical explanation. This does not mean of course that I believe that God did it, but I do recognize that there are times when people get better for no known reason.
However, if a person can be used by God to heal people, why not heal the quadriplegic? It is clear that John Mellor claims to believe that he is a tool of the Lord to heal the sick. So my question is this, why is there no video of the quadriplegic being healed?
The good news is at my last weigh in I was down to 308lbs. youtube.com/watch?v=b6ZYJ0-2hek&feature=results_mainAm I losing thousands of subscribers as the Anti-Brett Brigade claims I am?FacepalmResponse2012-06-10 | Some lies are just too easy to disprove. The first point in any argument is making sure that you are correct and can back up your claims with evidence. Sadly, for the Anti-Brett Brigade facts are NOT on their side. I barely had any drop in subscribers as confirmed by YouTube Analytics. A clear picture is here http://twitpic.com/9v2732
I did mispeak in the video. The analytics rage is from May 1st to today. On April 30th is when I had the civil skype conversation with Brett Keane that caused an uproar in the Anti-Brett Brigade.
The Anti-Brett Brigade became enraged when I discovered that some bogus DMCAs were issued in my name and I sent an email to Copyright@youtube.com to have claim retracted.
To the Anti-Brett Brigade. Seriously get a freaking life. I am so sick of answering the same questions over and over again. If you want to know something about that tub of guts, go talk to him. Leave me out of your pathetic little fight. Quit making sock accounts trying to impersonate him and for the love of sweet feathery jesus stop making videos about the man's wife and kids. Do you get off on how sick and twisted you are when you sink down to that level.
Now I am not ignorant of the things he has done, nor am I naive about who he is. The only reason he is civil towards me now is because I contacted YouTube about those bogus DMCAs. I fully expect him to turn on me eventually.
However, what I don't need is endless parade of messages on a daily basis asking me questions about Brett Freakin Keane. I get enough messages from people asking for legitimate help. The next person who sends me a message about that tub of guts is going to get blocked. I am sick of it and I am sick of the anti-brett brigade. The only thing I truly regret is that I was foolish enough to count some of you as my friends once. I don't need fair weather friends in my life. So to those of you who sent me messages writing me off and ending years of friendship I say good riddance.
Go stew in your own juices and have a circle jerk about how much you all hate Brett Keane. As for me I have a life that doesn't revolve around him so I will be living that.Conversation between SpikeBravo and MyselfFacepalmResponse2012-05-27 | The whole story of what went down, read it with your own eyes

I am merely going to play his own words back to him as to why I did not think the van would have made it to Phoenix. Had I sent him the money trusted to me for a bus ticket, his van would have broken down, and then it would be more expensive to help him as I would have to arrange for someone in California to drive out and find him.

People that we both know are going to say that I'm wasting my time trying to speak with you. I'm inclined to agree with them as I've seen you do nothing but plead ignorance about Brett Keane, a.k.a. "Your New Best Friend."
Still, after reading your blogspot post about him from May 8, I have to question your ability to see beyond what you're willing to.
Now, you may speak to whomever you wish and you may help whomever you want. However, other do people have the right to criticize you for your actions. That's the double-edged sword of freedom of expression.
Currently, outside of the continued pleading of ignorance of Your New Best Friend's actions the only issue I have with you is when you claim that Brett's detractors dislike him for his past DMCA abuse and flagging campaigns and his doc-dropping.
Are you truly that ignorant of your new best friend's history?
As someone who served a YT suspension because of your new best friend's flagging campaigns, allow me to describe some of your new best friend's past actions (and possibly waste my time in the process):
• Your New Best Friend is a man who has had the cops called on him at least four times for domestic violence.
• Your New Best Friend has stolen dozens of videos and claimed them as his own, along with several essays and song lyrics on other sites. Brett has even been caught claiming poems written by teenagers as song lyrics for his idiot brother to sing (more on that jerk in a few paragraphs).
• Your New Best Friend claimed in the video that got him BANNED from YouTube that one of his critics was threatening his family and posted a name, address, phone number and e-mail of the person in question. In essence, Brett was saying "This is a bad person, have at him" to the internet.
• Your New Best Friend once convinced a retarded Christian that he owned all of Brett's copyrights and sent him out on a massive DMCA spree.
• Your New Best Friend, hypocritically, cries foul when children are put on YouTube and Facebook after doing the EXACT same thing with his kid in 2010!
• Your New Best Friend constantly issues fraudulent legal threats and poorly worded cease-and-desist notices, often using information gathered from false DMCA claims filed by his little buddy, to other YouTubers.
• Your New Best Friend publicly threatened a rape victim with contact from their rapist.
• Your New Best Friend, who always cries about how important family is to him, may have been involved in the breakup of a marriage and another family. That includes encouraging the possible cyber-stalking of said family by Your New Best Friend's little buddy.
• Finally, Your New Best Friend once posted a video of him laughing hysterically while his idiot brother and a mutual friend suggested I kill myself in a variety of ways. He did this because I publicly refused to go to his censor-happy Stickam chat.
Most of this can also be proven to a reasonable extent, something Your New Best Friend never bothers to try with his accusations. The flagging and the DMCA abuse are a drop in the bucket compared to all the shenanigans Your New Best Friend has done simply because it gets him off.
And now, you've allowed him to attach himself to your ass like a overblown leech.
HappyCabbie, if you wish to continue to plead ignorance of Your New Best Friend's past, please do so and I will just dismiss you and move on with my life. However, if you honestly think that Your New Best Friend can ever make amends with some of the nonsense that he's pulled, you're only fooling yourself.I am NOT responsible for YouTubes DecisionsFacepalmResponse2012-05-12 | New blog post is up http://happycabbie.blogspot.com/2012/05/asheistheraven-doesnt-want-me-talking.html addressing the criticisms of AsheisTheRaven
I had nothing to do with YouTube deciding to reinstate Brett Keane, Jdubs, or even Corky. For those who obviously can't keep track longer than a week here is what happened. All three users were taken down due to bogus DMCA claims. Some of these bogus DMCAs were issued in my name. I even made a video about it.
I used no special connections and I don't have that kind of power anyway. If I had the power to get YouTube to reinstate accounts don't you think I would use it for my friends like Coughlan616 or Vogter2100, or BlackBusterCritic, or some of the other friends of mine who have had to start over? Hey if I had that kind of power don't you think I would get a flagged video of mine lifted?
When YouTube processed my email my logical guess is that the bogus DMCAs were sent from the same email. This may have prompted YouTube to investigate the other DMCAs issued because Brett Keane, Jdubs, and Corky all had their accounts reinstated by YouTube at the same time. This was far too quick for YouTube to process the counter-notices had they sent them in. My theory is the only logical conclusion.
However it was YouTube's decision to reinstate their accounts. I did nothing wrong. Now to address the other point of the video, why was AsheTheRaven's video taken down? I can't answer that because I did not watch the original video, past just a few seconds it took me to embed the video on my blog. I need more than just the video. The video description and tags are equally important. One thing that YouTube takes into consideration is context.
My tutorial on how to avoid being flagged, based off of notes I took from last year's meeting with YouTube staff about how videos are flagged. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAYjPN_yBWM
Thanks to Brett Keane for sending me this video via skypeResponding to Happy CabbieFacepalmResponse2012-05-01 | Brett Keane responding to my first question to him. What is the difference between him flagging others and others flagging him. Thanks to Brett Keane for sending me this video via skype to uploadBrett Keane vs HappyCabbie on SkypeFacepalmResponse2012-05-01 | Here is a classic example, even when you have to people who disagree with each other, civil conversations can be had.
It appears that Brett Keane no longer wishes to continue with the discussion we were having so that is fine. I do wish him well in life and hopes one day he makes a return to YouTube. I just wish he would reconsider his actions such as being a member of the Coughlan616.com website.
Final note to Brett Keane, I had intended this discussion to be peaceful and a way for two opposing points of view to learn about one another. However it appears that you now wish to see my channels destroyed. You have that right to try to do so, but regardless of whether you succeed or not, I have no ill feelings towards you. However, I should remind you that it is a futile effort to report me to AdSense because I don't earn my money from AdSense.BK Cleans Up the InternetsFacepalmResponse2012-04-30 | As stated from the beginning of this video I have permission from Brett Keane to upload this video to YouTube. Looks like from his video that he no longer wishes to continue with our discussion. Click here to see it all http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL90E484782856F083
One point of contention though to Brett Keane. I don't earn money from AdSense. So reporting me to AdSense is pointless.YouTube Bans Brett KeaneFacepalmResponse2012-04-28 | 2 new blog posts up on http://happycabbie.blogspot.com one addressing Brett Keane and the other addressing Corky who both recently addressed me in video.
Well his latest account http://www.youtube.com/user/BrettKeaneSexyBeast, although because it was linked to Google Plus it displayed his user name as Brett Keane, was just terminated by YouTube. This comes just hours after he filed a bunch of bogus copyright claims on videos of the BlogTV debate between him and Straightd0pe.
While I can not know for sure that he was terminated for abusing the DMCA, the timing is too good to logically assume otherwise. However the people affected will still have to counter-notice these copyright claims in order to have the videos restored and their accounts back into good standing.
If you require assistance in filling it out feel free to message me on my HappyCabbie channel.
In your counter-notice you should state the following.
"This video does not violate the copyrights of Brett Keane. This video is a recording of a BlogTV show hosted by Straightd0pe and Straightd0pe has no issue with my video. Furthermore it states in section 5 of the Terms of Use for BlogTV paragraph 3 http://www.blogtv.com/TermsOfUse that users and viewers are allowed to reproduce and produce derivative works from content hosted on that site. Brett Keane does not hold a valid copyright to this video."
It is unclear at this time if Brett Keane will continue our online debate. He has refused to defend the website Coughlan616.com which he is a member of and instead has tried to stir up drama again between me and Corky, a drama that pretty much everyone is tired of.
Anyway my good friend Devchelle2 is hosting a BlogTV charity event for Aids/HIV research. You may have been seeing me Autoplaying Peach's video for the past few days. The event is live this weekend so I hope you take time to spend a few hours helping out a worthy cause http://www.blogtv.com/people/FightHIV
A follow up video to Brett Keane. Essentially what I want to know is why Brett Keane is part of a website that doc drops, makes baseless accusations, and harasses people on the internet? This is the website's sole purpose
I am going to give you the same advice I gave to Napalm, one of your critics. If you want people to believe you are the good guy, then you need to act like it. Having a membership at a website dedicated to trolling other users, puts you in a bad light and makes people question your honesty and integrity. Why are you part of this website?
Note: Because this is a website dedicated to doc dropping, I suggest that you do not visit the website unless you know how to hide behind a Proxy. Brett Keane posted a video called HappyCabbie is a Cyber Bully and a waste of skin http://coughlan616.com/watch_video.php?v=YRXU8SDNY72H Shortly after I responded to his video it appears that he took it down. However you can hear him say at 4:22 that he gives permission for his video to be posted on YouTube.
A little clarification about the fundraising scam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Wc8OlxSO0 There were in fact two fundraisers going on at this time. Both claimed they were raising money to pay for my doctor bills. One was organized by my good friend Shayrah, the others were organized by a group of trolls. I was actually trying to convince Shayrah not to do the fundraiser but essentially everyone told me to just take the money and see a doctor which I did. My video about the Fundraising scam was to warn people about the trolls who were raising money in my name and keeping the money for themselves. The money raised by Shayrah actually went to doctor bills as documented here http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB56999BA77BD52A2
Brett Keane lamented about how Corky is homeless and that if I were to lose my AdSense I would be homeless too. Two things. Corky is homeless because he wants to be. He is homeless by choice. He has been offered a free place to live and has turned it down. Furthermore he insists in living in prime real estate in the high class area of the LA suburbs rather than in a part of town that he can afford. I have looked up on Craigslist and there are many places that he can live for the $500 per month he earns from Social Security. The only reason he is homeless is because he wants to be.
Brett Keane also referenced to some women I supposedly beat up yet gave no evidence for this. Citation please
