I corrected your unblock request. It is hard for me to fathom how a grown man would think that this is somehow appropriate in an encyclopedia. But perhaps you don't know what an encyclopedia is--certainly a YouTube link does not count as a "reference" since, as I think you really should know before you start doing things on a website, our reference should come from reliable, secondary sources. And please don't think that we're going to send an email explaining to every new user and vandal what they should and should not be doing. But maybe the next admin will look kindly on your unblock request. If that is the case, I strongly suggest you not add that material again. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 00:33, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

First of all, there is no need to be rude and condescending. I ask that you treat me with the same amount of respect that I have shown you. At no point in time did I make fun of you or your intelligence or make assumptions of the kind. Of course I know what an encyclopedia is and in this modern age sometimes the only reference is a digital one and the fact that this reference was based on that video alone and has no other reference point that exists outside of a private group of which you must be a member to see left me with that one option as a reference point. As I mentioned before, the addition above mine had references in it to an obscure television show that only had 12 episodes and was about rap music being played over old martial arts movies..... That is appropriate for an encyclopedia but a group that enjoys talking about the tasting notes and experiences of enjoying whiskey from around the world isn't? Not to mention that there are plenty of fictional characters listed in the Encyclopedia Britanica including comic book heroes and villains and cartoons. They are allowed a place in an Encyclopedia but a group founded by two actual living, breathing human beings with nearly 500,000 members is not? I also don't appreciate being called a vandal, I clearly was not trying to harm anyone or anything in any way shape or form. The Tribe itself is based on brotherhood and acceptance. If you take offense to the titles of one of the co-founders, those were given to him by a well known publication in the whiskey world in an article that was published recognizing their efforts to broaden the diversity of American Whiskey/Bourbon, specifically Texas Whiskey and were done in jest because he is a bit of a clown. I don't expect you to send one to every new user ahead of time a list of what they should or should not be doing but obviously this all could have been avoided with one simple email the first time I made an offense with an explanation of why it was taken down. I don't think it unreasonable for someone who is editing or in this case removing someone's work to explain to them why they did so. Mrcamidge77 (talk) 01:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

I believe my addition is sound and will try to find a new reference for the use of the term within the group but the group is largely based within the world of YouTube which is a form of popular culture. They do have a Facebook page but you must be a member to see the page. It would be included in the popular culture section of the page. I don't understand why anyone would think I am looking for free web hosting. I am just a member of the group. I have no ownership or rights to the group, I am not trying to recruit anyone or advertise in any way. Simply making an addition as to the use of the term in a very popular group that has members around the world. I was not negative in any way. I really don't understand all the problems this has caused. Mrcamidge77 (talk) 15:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If you believe your addition is sound, you don't understand what Wikipedia is and shouldn't be editing it. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:42, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm sorry, maybe I should point you back to the 5 pillars. Especially the part about respect and civility, which I have not found as of yet. In fact quite the opposite. I am continually being talked down to and belittled. There's also a pillar that says there are no firm rules. To be bold without being reckless. Maybe I'm not the one who doesn't understand what Wikipedia is or what it is for. The open and free sharing of knowledge to the world where everyone is a part of it's growth. I wish I could say it's been a pleasure but it truly has not. Mrcamidge77 (talk) 17:04, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
