Lesinutah, Kirbylux77, Vacuumdevil and Tom
I am brand new to this site and have purposely avoided all social media: no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no YouTube channel. I am new to this vacuum cleaner collecting thing, too, as I have yet to make my first purchase. But I am dismayed by all of this vitriol and pettiness over something as stupid (and fun) as vacuum cleaners. I have never once commented on social media, but I could no longer just sit on the sideline as I now feel compelled to toss my two cents at someone.
Hey Lesinutah, just because Tom Gasko doesn't get back to you immediately is no reason to get your panties in a bunch. I also emailed Tom in late December and he did not respond until last Sunday night. Now, I could have freaked out and gotten upset, but I realized: (1) it's the holidays, (2) he's probably very busy running the Tacony museum and answering questions for us vacuum geeks and (3) I bet he has a life outside of vacuum cleaners (yes, that is possible). You’re lucky to have a guy like Tom putting up with everyone’s B.S. He’s probably forgotten more about vacuum cleaners than most people on this site will ever know. No, he’s not trying to hide valuable vacuum information from you. He’s just busy. Occam’s Razor, pal.
Hey Tom, I’m feeling your pain. Years ago, I founded, ran and played in a highly organized adult sports league. The peanut gallery drove me crazy to the point that I finally said “screw you guys” and left. Guess what happened? The league started to fall apart and the same idiots who constantly criticized me came crawling back on their hands and knees saying “please save us!" Hey everyone, driving Tom away would be a bad thing for Vacuumland, mkay?
And Kirbylux77, you crazy knucklehead. Don’t be dissing the Vacuumdevil! (I’m assuming he’s pals with the Robotdevil). As a fellow Hebrew National, I find it very disconcerting how you went from him being a Miele fanboy (that’s obvious given the Miele apron and T-shirt he wears on YouTube, or maybe he’s just trolling everyone, did you ever think of that?) to a racist Aryan German.
WTF? My neighbor has 5 Mercedes and he told me he would never own a Japanese car. Should I fear him, too? Doesn’t that make him a Nazi? Maybe I should punch him. Aren’t you supposed to punch Nazis? Isn’t that where this is going? I thought that’s what you’re supposed to do?
No, I’ve got a better idea: just calm down. You’re mouth is writing checks that you would absolutely not have the guts to cash in person. That’s why you step up the hyperbole because you feel so powerful while you hide behind your computer screen. I know, I’m using big words. If you want me to stop, I will.
Anyone who would be “disgusted" by vacuum cleaner comments on YouTube really needs to take a good look in the mirror. It’s just vacuum cleaners, bro. Part of the fun on this site is that everyone has a different personal connection to these machines. However, if someone doesn’t like your preferred brand or opinions on various vacuumology, then that’s no reason to lose your cool. For instance, I absolutely despise all Hoovers. That’s sure to piss off a bunch of people on this site, maybe even the Vacuumdevil himself. Are you going to hate me for that? Bring it on, I can take it!
And another thing, if you’re not Jewish, then don’t go around calling out people as anti-semites. You make us real Jews look bad when you overreact to commentary and try to label someone you don’t know and have never met as a racist Aryan German. And then you get it all wrong because he’s actually a Jew. Doh!!!
To Lesinutah and Kirbylux77, here’s my unsolicited advice: Take a deep breath, and step away from the vacuum cleaner. Next, go outside and look up. See that bright shining thing in the sky? It’s called the Sun. You need more of it. Clean air and exercise, that’s the ticket. And if you disagree with me, well then you can just KMSMA!
