Yankee Marshall and IraqiVeteran8888 feud

[4949shooter]

Yep. When the "Yankee Marshal" threw ole Hickok 45 into his mix of badmouthing other Youtubers, I completely tuned him out. Nobody badmouth's Hickok!

Okay, to be honest, I had tuned him out before this comment. Something about his negative comments toward 10mm and the Glock 29.

YM pointed out that there are different categories of gun channels on YouTube. He called Hickok45 a Presenter/Entertainer/Mark(in the positive meaning of the word) and commented how this type of channel is the most important type on YouTube, because they help to open the gun community to larger audiences. I can't see how that's throwing him under the bus.

He made a point to say that the onus really lies on the person watching the videos to recognize the difference between a Presenter and, say, a Reviewer. I can see where some might take exception to him using the word "shill", but he made a point of saying being a shill is not necessarily a bad thing. The definition of shill is " is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization". This is not bad thing unless the person takes it to the level of giving credibility to organizations that are actually at odds with the gun communities best interests. Admittedly, he did seem to start using the term "shill" in the more negative aspect as he went along and can see where this might have been confusing.

If you are interested in seeing him say it in his own words here are the links to the videos

3:30 to 3:36. It was a less than flattering comment about Hickok, and appears to be totally unprovoked.

I have nothing constructive to add to this thread other than to say I can't stand the Yankee marshal.
