This is the policy he has on his YouTube home page.
It is cut and pasted word for word from there:
"And folks, there are no tolerations here. All spam, rude, revolting, bad comments on ANY video that I post will immediately be deleted, no exceptions".
No tolerance for criticism. He'll go very far in show business.[/quote]
Count me as another who cannot read that, at least on the surface, as no tolerance for criticism. YouTube comments, as a whole, are a fetid pile of compost, and were I brave enough to post videos on there and allow comments, I would certainly delete all of the "rude, revolting, bad" comments without hesitation.

Yeah, but if the videos suck (as they do in a lot of cases...just be glad you've never watched a Let's Play video), then deleting the comments equals a lack of tolerance for criticism.
And Mr. Tiller's videos are not exactly of a high quality, despite his best efforts.
People can be spiteful on YouTube, yes. But that doesn't mean that every "rude, revolting, bad" comment is without warrant.
