He is similar to Venomfang X, except just from the extreme opposite side. He reminds me of Scientology, always suing people that disagree with him.

SexedUpAtheist September 8, 2011 at 11:26 pm

@antybu86 You referred to him as “deplorable” and “censor-happy” and compared him to VenomFangX.

@antybu86

Win Antybu. Way to stand up for our free speech!

MEPHITIST September 9, 2011 at 1:34 am

Inmendham is just extremely ignorant in general.

shameoncanada September 9, 2011 at 2:03 am

Excellent.

longcatisloooooong September 9, 2011 at 2:14 am

@antybu86 Okay, maybe I _was_ wrong about the blockings. I’ve also ALREADY admitted that I don’t necessarily agree with his argument but the legal proceedings should go forward without unnecessary bullshit. Again, I disagree that his videos have no value. For the third time, he thrives when people mock him and post rude video responses. Additionally, I think it’s hypocritical that you only attack inmendham for DMCAs when the donotgod channel has been suspended due to false flagging stuff.

antybu86 September 9, 2011 at 3:11 am

@longcatisloooooong Why can’t you just admit you’re wrong? Seriously, it’s like InMendham and his followers (e.g. you) have some psychological inability to say, “I was wrong.” You said that InMendham doesn’t block people, and now you’re being an apologist for his blockings. Just admit that you are wrong already.

And, FYI, I don’t know whether I’m blocked from his channel. If I am, it doesn’t bother me. I’ve been blocked from too many religious funamentalist channels to care.

longcatisloooooong September 9, 2011 at 4:07 am

@antybu86 i can only assume you are one of these blocked (blockheaded?) people because you’re so butthurt about it. But you don’t answer that he thrives when people mock him and write him rude video responses. So I think it’s counterproductive to insist that he’s a proponent of censorship. And y’know what? Straightdope is such a fucktard that I would also consider blocking his troll-followers. So I can’t really blame him.

antybu86 September 9, 2011 at 4:23 am

@longcatisloooooong Calling him names? What are you talking about?

antybu86 September 9, 2011 at 4:27 am

@longcatisloooooong You write, “I defy you to show me an instance of where Gary has tried to silence dissent by deleting comments and blocking people. That’s just patently false.”

Did you even watch the video you are responding to? Look at the 30 second mark of this video where I quote one of his videos (and the link to the video is in the description). InMendham blocks TONS of people.

longcatisloooooong September 9, 2011 at 5:16 am

@antybu86 And just as a final comment, the intro at the beginning of this video is very poorly done. It’s probably not an idea to start out with calling him names because that will almost certainly make a lot of “inmendham-ites” not want to watch this video even if what you’re saying is true.

longcatisloooooong September 9, 2011 at 6:10 am

@antybu86 (2/2)… As for the whole thing about deleting comments and blocking people, I defy you to show me an instance of where Gary has tried to silence dissent by deleting comments and blocking people. That’s just patently false. He thrives on having people call him names and probably gets a lot of views just from that.

As for the DMCA issue, that’s a whole different animal. I don’t necessarily think that he will win the case but at least he should be able to present his claim. Thoughts?

longcatisloooooong September 9, 2011 at 6:50 am

@antybu86 The point I was originally trying to make was that Gary’s videos have way more VALUE than VFX’s. He explains challenges others to see things his way by providing AT LEAST a half-decent explanation. Okay, I admit that some of his videos are crap, but hey, what the hell, at least he has spent the time making all of these videos, and you have got to give it up to him for that. I’m saying that he has more content in these videos than VFX did in all his videos combined (1/2)…

antybu86 September 9, 2011 at 7:41 am

@longcatisloooooong Yes, your tone is definitely indicative of a typical InMendham-ite. I got to hand it to the guy, he certainly has built up a cult.

But, to answer your criticism, VFX and InMendham are very different in many ways. However, as I said in the video, they are similar in their methods of censorship. Both InMendham and VFX block people, delete comments, and file false DMCAs. In this regard, they are the same (but, yes, their *views* are drastically different).

longcatisloooooong September 9, 2011 at 7:51 am

You’re a fucking cunt-bag. I hope you die. You obviously don’t understand anything DNG/Gary/Inmendham says in his videos. He talks about real stuff, but I’m quite sure your eyes just glazed over cuz it was too intelligent for your weasel brain to comprehend. Gary and VFX are very different and trying to equate them in this video is nonsensical and counterproductive. Fuck you.

AnnCunter September 9, 2011 at 8:14 am

@ScottishAtheist Your comment is funny because it has the word “Gary” and “revenue” in the same sentence.

StrapOnDildoSexRulez September 9, 2011 at 8:33 am

inmendham is a crazy village idiot.

i love him, though he is wrong about this DMCA-shit

0121ryanh117 September 9, 2011 at 9:04 am

DoNotGod doesnt seem to actually put forward any actual points, he just gets pissed off at every video he sees.

ElvisonTour1972 September 9, 2011 at 10:03 am

Please be aware that if Inmendham keeps this shit up with the filing of false DMCA’s and filing frivolous lawsuits he will end up in jail. He is abusing the the DMCA option and the court system.

Care4alot September 9, 2011 at 10:27 am

thats not the point, somewhere someone explainted it…
if you really like to hear my explanation you can PM me i’ll try my version ;o)

FSEffect September 9, 2011 at 10:48 am

@Care4alot
Actually you can set the options to see thumbs down comments, spam comments can be clicked to show as well. So really the comment is still there.

TheLastCoolName September 9, 2011 at 11:23 am

What

Care4alot September 9, 2011 at 11:53 am

@antybu86
Fair use in a Legal way you want to argue, but if Gary wants to proof it ain’t so…..
What does he get from you guys?
Mob Rule …. nice going

Is that fair use on a human level ….
Ever wondered about that?

Care4alot September 9, 2011 at 12:32 pm

funny how the thumbs is equally if not worse then blocking, keep thinking boys
