You know, people visit their favorite forum for a reason. Some visit ASLrocks while others visit DVTV. But to call a person a "hero" for being on a forum is, well, very tacky if not totally inappropriate. Especially if a person is known to have done slanderous and injurious gossipings, or just being crude and nasty.
There are several things or reasons why people go on to these video forums. Number one reason is probably for the mindless gossiping, libeling, defaming and complaining hoping that somebody will notice the flailing arms. You know, just trashy stuff hoping to get noticed. Number two is to learn new things from people who have the knowledge. Something that's purely informative and helpful. Number three is the more educational on the social level on what's going on out there in the world of who's who. Number four is for the simple entertainment value that probably comes with a message. That's pretty much the gist of it, I think. There could be a few more.
But don't call a person a "hero" just because of the number of hits a person was able to help generate. Saying that is an act of pure selfishness. I have my own definition of what a hero is like and it has to do with selflessness, caring, sacrificial and enduring. Base it on the content of person's character, not about the ability to have a potty mouth. Not about gossiping. Not about smearing and libeling. Not about defamation and other petty actions. Those things do not make a person a "hero." What those thing produce altogether is a monster. Something that people should already have learned to avoid but can't avoid like some trashy tabloid sitting in a magazine rack at a grocery store waiting for somebody to pick it up and buy it.
To be a "hero" has a much more deeper revelation that is to be appreciated and wondered. I'm not a "hero." Neither is Barry of The Holism. Or anybody else who run their blogs and vlogs out there. We are simply people who have various passions for life. If people come and read your blogs or watch your vlogs then they have a reason for coming. So, please, save the "hero" label for somebody who really deserves it.

Hmm, to be frank, I did find that video to fall within realms of repulsive and repugnant emotions. I refused to watch it when I initially saw it posted. -shudder-
I may be an acquaintance and a friend of this "hero," but I do not think he deserves to be call a hero. The said uh... instigator is obviously looking for numbers to rack up the popularity of her at the expense of the "hero." That video is now gone from the vlog site, but it's still in the youtube section.
Hero, in my opinion, should be applied to people with the likes of Armed Forces. They're out there serving their country and do carry a risk of loosing their life. Sure, there are those enrolled into the Armed Forces for other reasons, besides the call of duty. That's besides the point, but I take it you get my gist?
That dude ain't no hero in -MY- book.
Honesty, if this guy found out that you went to Jail and this guy WOULD SPAM aslrocks about you for days and days. This guy would use your real name, mock your friends, and family while the rest simple-minded memebers at aslrocks would be laughing and give this guy a high five.
Now, aslrocks fellows paid this guy a respect which is ridiculous!
Just curious... who are you slandering and defaming by referring to their inappropriate use of the term "hero"? It would be nice to have a reference point to go to and see this "anti-hero"
Lows of the lows.
They're uneducated and have never been exposed to rational environments.
No matter how hard they try to correct their mistakes, they won't admit their mistakes.
Lows of the lows
Same circus of people ranting with failed topics. It felt like a winner.
Losers of the losers
If they realized this, change is too challenging.
Falling hard back to the lows drowning like deafhood.
Daddy says "F$CK YOU DEAF COMMUNITY"
What video are you referring to? Some of us have no idea what the heck you are talking about since you've not provided a reference as we don't check ASLROCKS
Elvis has left the building.
It's gone.
I visit your site because you talk sense mike, sorry, I'm sure you've saved a lot of lives today as well :) Sadly I've not managed to save any today myself...
I noticed something. Ad banners like Convo and others have been removed. Let me know if you can see the same thing.
Video is gone...
Didn't get a chance to see it.
Bottom line: Heros are reserved for those who really deserves it, not some Howard Stern wannabe with a machine gun. I think we all can agree to this, no?
@Candy -- aye aye. I strongly believe the concept should be utilized only when it's above and beyond the call of duty, integrity, ethical, and so forth. I'm sorry to say this to that quote hero unquote, that person does not fit any of the criteria mentioned.
@Anon6:10AM -- it's still there.
