Hey Jill, YouTube comments suck at the best of times - I can't imagine what it's like to be persistently harrassed by the same people there. The bad comments I've had there, I've blocked the users - but I imagine these guys just sign up for new accounts to persist?
I wish someone would take this up with Steve Chen at the NewTeeVee Live event in the next couple of days. The hater situation needs serious addressing there, and they don't seem to care. It's the single worst thing about YouTube. Have you been in touch with YouTube support, to block your stalkers/haters and to check with them that your site won't be taken down because it doesn't violate their T&C? As far as I know, especially if they're aware that there's a problem, they'll check before taking down videos that are flagged as inappropriate. And have you thought of disabling comments on YouTube and embedding your YT videos on a blog, where you can control comments and also design a great site around them? If you set up a blog on Wordpress, you can block certain IP addresses from sending comments. IP address blocks are a lot harder for people to get around than just blocking their account on YouTube - the average person can't just create another IP address the way they can create a new YouTube account. That means you can also still continue to host your videos on YouTube and keep all your subscribers - just disable all comments there and directing people in your videos to comment at your blog instead of at Youtube.
