I did a video of myself for this worthwhile project, but took it down when I had a "hate" message which frightened me, as the person said they recognised me and had seen me out drinking with my "->-bleeped-<-got friends". They referred to me as "fatsy Patsy" - my youtube handle is patsytime and does not reflect my chosen name. When I went to look up their profile it said the account had been closed. Yes I know I'm a wimp and a let down but it was the first time I'd been subjected to ridicule on youtube.
It was quite untrue anyway because I rarely go out for a drink and if I do it's invariably with family.
Having said all this I don't wish to put anyone else off taking part in the project - I guess I'm just not yet ready to come out to the whole world.

I regularly post Vlogs on You Tube and did one for the project as well. The website is full of haters and I sometimes get comments so hateful and evil that it saddens me. However, this project is a very good idea. Last I heard it is coming along. They got quite a few more responses than they thought possible. I personally haven't been able to help with the grunt work since my father passed away. Things are much different and I am pretty busy.
I have to say overall You Tube has been a great experience. I have met at least 50 great people that I converse with regularly as well as many people whom messaged me in an effort to understand. Feels pretty good :)

I got someone hating me, and all I was doing was making a film about eating my dog.
