The fact that you posted here before reaching out personally proves that you don't actually have lishma reasons for posting.

Agree that OP was not done right, but there is value in people knowing that Meir K is not sensitive to halacha/yiddishkeit so that they change the channel before watching.

So this should be about any aveirah in the world

I see a huge difference. Honestly I was really upset when I saw the video also. I just don't see this difference lending room to hate. Disgust, horror, maybe. No hate.
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

It absolutely can be for any aveira. The real difference is whether it is something that "everyone knows". So eating chazer can be worse that some chiyuvei misa in this regard even though it is only a lav.

a guy I'm disgusted of, can often be called a guy I hate... not that hate is the correct word.

Oh, and I hate people like berland also
I thought you hate people that hate on others.
So you draw the line at a certain point. Understood
Well I believe that line should be redrawn to include homosexuals

Here you are posting on the internet, but what's treif? TV!
Correct. TV and Internet have clear differences.
Internet is necessary for many people (although can be abused). TV is unnecessary.
Thus you will find many Rabbanim strongly urging people to filter their internet.
As far as TV goes, they are very clear that one should not have it and that it is 100% wrong.

Why are you so God-d**m judgemental?
Not nice to include G-ds name in a swear word. 
This is a recurring theme I've seen with your posts, you seem to think that God has given you a special job to make sure every other Jew lives their lives according to your brand of Judaism and what you think halacha says. It's very clear though that you don't really the depth of knowledge and understanding of halacha that you think you do. Your inability to understand and accept other people's views and opinions is why you'll continue to clash with other people. Your posts lead me to believe that you don't actually want to change anyone's mind about anything, you just want to be right. And that's why you'll continue being wrong.
yada yada yada. I'm not into blanket attacks without substance. Feel free to highlight something. Specifically what is wrong and why.

Fair point. My filter doesn't ban Youtube although I do have an option to shade out skin

How/why do you hate someone that all you know about them is from the media?

The real crime here is the spelling of his name in the thread title.

Fixed, and now the world is all right again.

It all boils down to:
Guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty. Same for Mezuzos scandal, same for any of the Kashrus scandals, same with this.
If you're okay using/consuming anything that "everyone uses", you're going with an attitude of innocent until proven guilty and you're going to burn yourself once before each time you define something as guilty/improper.
If you only listen to someone you know is kosher, buy from a Softer you know is Kosher, eat from a company/brand you know is kosher, then you won't burn yourself, and you'll tend to get annoyed by people who burn themselves and go around parading as if they've discovered America, whilst you think "who asked them to go that way in the first place?".

I hope people can make some sense or of my rant.

Akin to free will. OK. People are free to choose and thus responsible for their actions. Not sure though what that is suppose to prove
