Talk:David Yost

message: Vandals like putting up nonsense about Yostmania.  Note that Yostmania is described as sweeping the globe, but David Yost only a C list US celebrity.  Googling for Yostmania produces only wikipedia and wikipedia mirrors. Tbjablin 19:44, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Seconding the inspiring testimony of "A Yostmania Advocate".  Tbjablin would like you to believe that "vandals" like putting up "nonsense" about Yostmania.  Nothing could be further from the truth, and quite frankly these accusations are offensive to myself and other Yost enthusiasts.  I would like to begin by pointing out that I personally created and maintain wikipedia's article on David Yost.  This article pops up several times when googling David Yost which I think is proof of its quality.  As an obviously enthusiastic and serious member of the Yost fan community why would I write an entire section pertaining to Yost which simply wasn't true?  And the fact is, I am responsible for the creation of the Yostmania section, and I continue to authorize its inclusion in the article by fellow faithful Yost fans.  Vandalism, my friend, is the malicious defacing or destruction of property.  If I painted a gang insignia on my own house, you could not force me to remove it unless it caused you some kind of distress.  The same applies to intellectual property.  As I see it, the only people who could say this act of "vandalism" is causing them reasonable distress are Yost purists who are unfamiliar with the concept of Yostmania.  But is not this obsession with what you percieve as accuracy in Yost-related journalism a form of Yostmania itself?  And then there is the matter of your own offensive comments relating to Yost's celebrity status.  Such degredation of an article's subject is hardly the kind of thing that is appropriate for publication on this website, even if it is only in this discussion section.  You speak as if you are an accredited authority on the subject of David Yost, yet you make biased and bitter statements about him.  If, as you say, we have vandalized this website with our comments about David Yost than you have done the same here.  And a low post count in the forums proves nothing.  These forums are less than a year old, and are not advertised at all.  Admittedly, Yost does not command the same fanbase as some other hollywood stars, but one exists nonetheless, and it is a healthy one.  And by the way, I do not and never did reside in the United States, and the same can be said of many of my fellow Yost enthusiasts.  If Yostmania isn't sweeping the globe, than how is it that we are keenly aware of this "C List U.S. Celebrity"?
Googling for "David Yost" yields about 10k hits.  "Lock Haven, PA" has a population of 10k and has 55k google hits.  "Dustin Diamond" scores 17k hits, and I consider him to be pretty C-level.  You may feel very strongly about David Yost, and there may be others like you, but that doesn't make it a mania sweeping the globe or an important social phenomena.  This article doesn't belong to anyone.  Everytime you hit submit there's a warning at the bottom say: 
# All contributions to Wikipedia are released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Project:Copyrights for details).
# If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it.

message: 1. If you have a problem with only the part about "sweeping the globe" then change only that. Do not just remove it.
*OK. I will change this. Do not blindly revert all of my edits. Tbjablin 00:29, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  You are incorrect. 

message: I'm curious. The article mentions that Yost married a childhood sweetheart named "Louis". Does this mean Yost is gay? Kidicarus222 23:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Provide some evidence, and you can re-submit it, else someone will probably erase it. Michael 19:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Presumably, it was removed because there are no reliable sources to back up the claims, and those are necessary for information to be included in Wikipedia. That certainly doesn't mean that it's not true, but until and unless he comes out publicly, we don't have the kind of proof we need to include it here. --Icarus (Hi!) 22:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well... it was taken at Thuy Trang's funeral.  It is the most recent one widely available on the internet and much better than the fuzzy screen capture that was there before.  RexTraverse 02:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: David Yost currently working at Z Pizza? Source?
:That's probably just bullshit.  Unless the instigator who created this rumor can produce solid evidence that Yost is working at a pizza parlor, I won't buy it and consider it vandalism. Pitstain 05:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
