Best thing to do is, delete their comments and block them. No point wasting your breath or letting them voice there 'opinions'

Maybe not a good idea swearing at people as well despite there wrongdoings and then posting it on the web
This just gives them more ammo for criticism and it does not look good on your part, keep cool and your the winner !
In this case you came across very aggressive

In the grand scheme of things his language wasnt as bad as the driving. If I swing a punch at someone and miss I cannot then claim that the victim's subsequent behaviour was offensive as they will be subject to the stress of the situation. The adrenaline will be pumping as a result.

Masterguly is a bit of a special case isn't he? I think he probably needs to go speak to his local IT friend as clearly none of his vowel keys are working :-)
Bigjuggernaught might be but masterguly786 seems to be typing with his feet as his arms are restrained by a straight jacket.
It was so funny reading "penniless tramp", such a moronic comment.

I love the fact one of them bemoans how cabbies are struggling with the costs of hitting cyclists.
And no, their fare pays for the upkeep of the vehicle. As I said on there I kind of knew a cabbie a few years back. He made a LOT of money from it, got in a bit of grief with HMRC, tried to go bankrupt to avoid the bills. Oddly the guy was living in splendor. He was savvy enough to know where and when to make an income.
I do regret swearing in my conversation with the taxi driver.
However he swore first, and was being aggressive in his driving and conversation, with a fare in the back. I wonder what the fare thought!
I was going to delete the troll's comments, however they're just making fools out of themselves so I think I'll keep them on for now.

This is why i no longer have a youtube account. Too many over opinionated morons on there, sitting on your PC arguing with them just lowers your IQ ... if someone wishes to express their opinion to me on the road while im cycling they are more than welcome to get out of their car and say it to my face.. but even then I wont be listening, I'll just continue sweating away and saving myself on £1000's of fuel a year while feeling like a smug ***tard

Why would that make you leave youtube? Either delete their comments, make comments approval only, or disable comments. If the comments aren't on your videos, then don't read them.
Just do as Gaz writes, I very rarely get trolls these days using these tactics, also if I am watching another users video and I see a troll I just block the troll.
In fact the last commenter who gave me some abuse was a "cyclist", driving their car badly trying to justify their crap driving by blaming me and using the excuse that they are a cyclist.

I have not left youtube as such. I just didnt upgrade my account when google took over it. I still use youtube on a regular basis, i just stay away from comments section as I dont have a log in. Its all too easy to be pulled into a debate with someone and get silently wound up behind your screen. In real life 99% of people dont have the stones to come and tell me what they think of my cycling, on youtube anyone can hide behind their keyboard and spout fanatical BS.

Even so you dont have to sit there and listen to rubbish. I used to get that a lot on there. I later realised that youtube is self-moderated, if they get shirty with me deleting their ignorant and abusive comments I just block them.
You dont have to get pulled into a debate imo. You can chose to leave it, or leave a stronger, more sensible message elsewhere.
