I know that these comments are going to be an endless sea of love and hate, and that this likely will never meet your eyes. But I feel the urge to apologize.

I let David convince me that you were doing exactly what he was twice. I feel as though it is the most idiotic thing I’ve let happen in my recent life. I let him convince me that you were false and disingenuous when he knows not even the slightest inkling of who you are.

I’ve been watching your videos for almost a decade, and have many reasons why I remain subscribed to this channel even when I disagree with you at times. And then, I let someone I knew nothing about convince me that you were someone you aren’t.

I could so greatly detail how sappy I am over my own gullibility. And yet, you remain transparent and honest, and most of all, accepting of your criticism, and your mistakes. Something that though he claims to do, he clearly isn’t willing to. I for the final time, am deeply sorry for doubting your integrity that I’ve known for so long, because of baseless accusations from someone I do not care about.

More than that, thank you for being honest, humble, and genuine in your response, and clarifying the things that confused me and likely others. It really demonstrates that the response you were given was a deflection rather than a defense. And thank you for pinning the comment about the aggressiveness of your defense, and acknowledging that it was in that moment, quite heated. It makes me admire you for how you admit to your own actions, which is something our world has forgotten to do.

In all, for the too long didn’t read: I will continue watching your content and supporting you and your team until you migrate or lay down the mantle. Thank you for reminding me why I love Shadiversity, why I respect you, and who was truly being disingenuous.

If only there was a way for two people with swords to settle a disagreement.

[areallybigdwarf]

38:08 this guy @theevol29 swears that shad somehow coerced nusensei into doing that apology video about the impossible draw and when i asked for the evidence for that claim he just stopped replying, those are the guys on the sellsword camp vowing for him LMAO

[DystOptimist]

Never in my life did i think i would be watching a video about sword nerd drama.

[thrrax]

The problem with this approach is that if you only listen to authority, sometimes you can get in trouble.

[billmelater]

I get the feeling he's redefining what he said because it makes him look like a douche.

He was very clear in his words and meaning.

[Tikuros]

The time comes to mind, when a heckler told a comedian, he can't form an opinion about parenting, because he himself does not have a child. His response comes to mind a lot: "Miss... I am not a helicopter pilot either. But if I walk around and I see one crashed in a tree, I know somebody fucked up"

[roberthill]

It's the arrow on the left or right side of the bow debate all over again.

"You can't be accurate shooting from the right side of the bow! I've done this all my life!"
_"It's _*_because_*_ you've shot all your life from the left that you can't do the right. Other people learned the opposite and shoot just as well."_

As a Norman knight from 1200, I find it hillarious how bad these sword people on youtube are.

[kyleochoa]

Here's the thing, I don't know these people at all. But anytime someone tries to take a position of superiority and tell you why you SHOULDN'T listen to other people, be VERY wary of that person and anything and everything they say. This is almost a totally unimportant debate that should teach you a SUPER important lesson. Anyone who is knowledgeable, honest and straightforward has ZERO reason to want to stop you from hearing as many different opinions and interpretations of things as possible. Because they know that the more YOU know, the more you will agree with them. People who are ill informed, dishonest or deceptive always want to stop you from getting any information that may contradict them because they know the more you know the LESS you will agree with them. Always beware anyone who wants to silence dissenting opinions.

[AmogusAsbestos]

As a somewhat new technician (3 years in the field) I am constantly learning very valuable information from the master techs. They're invaluable and have shown me so much. I trust their opinion, but I am still willing to think freely with it. HOWEVER, even though I am a much younger and more inexperienced tech, I have still had situations where I've thought THEM a few things, and they go "Wow I never thought of it that way."

A fresh opinion is always welcome no matter who it comes from it just needs to land on open ears.

[SoulessGinger-fzlh]

One thing I have found invaluable, in my experience engineering, is sharing any issues I am having on a project with: a) other engineers that know nothing about the project. b) sharing my issues with people who know nothing about engineering. There are so many times where I get so caught up in the info I know I miss the obvious solutions and sharing it with someone with a broader view on the situation helps remove the blinders. I can see the same thing happening when practicing swordsmanship, especially in functionally uncharted territory like a double bladed sword. Don't disregard someone who is less experienced, they may have spotted something you miss if you had tunnel vision while putting together a project.

"If you don't do the art, you can't talk about the art" Sorry all you historians with PHDs in your field. Internet sword guy says your research and brains count for nothing. "You can't talk about human sacrifice if you don't practice the art!"

[orion]

Just an anecdote to try and visualize Shad's point about correct being correct no matter skill or experience:

I work as a deckhand for a towing company, it was late at night and we had to build our tow on two empty barges. I have only a few weeks of experience on the job, compared to my coworker whos been with the company for 2 years.

After we built our tow, I had an inkling of doubt about its strength, because of a way I was taught by a few different deckhands before I worked with my current crewmate. However, I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to "insult" a more experienced crewmate by making it seem like he didnt know how to do his job.

Later that night aftwr we went off watch, our tow busted due to being too weak to resist the high waters.

Moral of the story: If you know better, then say so, the worst that could happen is being corrected. Those who dismiss others due to lack of skill are either disingenuous or arrogant enough to think they could never be wrong.

[RigobertoRoque-nbnw]

Shad Dont give this guy the time of day.

“If you don’t do the art, you can’t talk about the art”

Movies are an art.
Art is an art.
Music is an art.
Cooking is an art.

I can assess dissonance in a song without ever picking up a flute.

I can assess a fillet of steak without ever touching a grill.

I can call out Echo as a bad miniseries without ever picking up a camera.

Just because someone has a lot of experience in a particular field doesn’t mean they’re always right, or even anywhere near it.

[FreakazoidRobots]

I've consistently called out even people I like for doing "blind items, " where they criticize people without naming them. I hate that middle school girl kind of behavior. If you've got something to say to somebody, you should be able to say it to their face. I also hate people who appeal to themselves as an authority. If you're really that good, you should be able to explain your point of view instead of just saying "trust me, bro."
