But as with anything, deal with people more on their tone of voice than on what they are saying per se. If someone is genuinely excited about what you're doing and paying you a compliment, treat it as such and inform them as an aside. If someone is insulting you, either ignore them or turn it around on them (and maybe inform them as a part of that).

But as for annoying things like this, it is a lot like how people get fed up of new people always asking the same stuff on message boards or news groups. It is just one of those things that you have to get used to and deal with in reasonable ways (like making a FAQ that you can point people to) instead of letting it drive you crazy.

Cause: people harrasing me to juggle rings
Effect: I stop bringing rings to school
simple as that
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

So, if people were shouting at you to just juggle without specifying, you'd leave all of your juggling stuff at home?
How about if they shouted "don't juggle rings"? Would you start taking your rings to school just to spite them?
Maybe they just really liked watching you juggle rings? Now instead of getting a reputation as a cool juggler, perhaps you're getting a reputation of a snooty juggler who thinks he's above everyone and deliberately ignores people.
I get the impression from some of your posts that you aspire to be a good performance juggler - if that's the case then you're going to have to learn to take heckling, you might as well start now, otherwise you're going to be screwed someone in the audience starts shouting proper heckles at you, rather than just wanting to see you juggle a specific prop.
Also - can you check that you've got images enabled in your internet browser for me? Next time you see or any of the other range of graemlins, take the comments as a joke instead of flying off the handle again - that's what they're there for.

Okay let me clear this up for everyone who may have some confusion
There not as much requesting as they are harassing me so if someone harasses you do something than typically you don't do it for the purpose of annoying them and they stop asking

I would like to provide you with a short clip of four club flats which I taped In my living room

Yeah, keep doing that if you want them to pick up on how much it annoys you, then they'll probably just keep on with the harassing. There are better ways to work out stuff like that.Written by: pre

Well, you're certainly a lot better than I am at juggling clubs - I can barely keep a 3 club cascade going most of the time. Oh for a life at school with plenty of time again

Duuuuuuude how come you admire Jason Garfield so much?? And keep on quoting him, his he your idol? Do you want to be him?
How come you never post about Thomas Dietz and the stuff he does, Thomas loved Jason Garfield and then completely overtook him?
What's this preoccupation you have with people asking you about the circus etc. Why do you hate it so much, I've had so many cousins when I was younger (at13/14 with fire torches) having a laugh about me going to the circus. Doesn't bother me much...what would you prefer, people saying that you're crap and not worth going onto the circus or something?
Nice flats btw. I can't do them for as long as that but mine are much cleaner and less wall plane-ish.
I'm really surprised that after spending so much time learning clubs and flats etc. that you are so blunt and ignorant of what we (other posters on this thread, and some of the other threads you've started) have to say. Most of the jugglers I know are always too happy to share tricks and have a laugh. Bit then again, there's a first time for everything...
