Kilt on Ghost Hunters International

[Zardoz]

Just a recap of the show for ya'

Something touched my leg!

What was that?! Do we have any people up there?

Did you hear that? It said 'Get Out' (in English, even though we're in France or where ever)

I saw something!

Dude! RUN!

Do you smell something?

That stuff, wrestling and canceling Caprica, is why I actively boycott the SyFail channel now.

I like watching it for the locations and hearing about the buildings. It's not as bad as the ghost adventures show or whatever it's called. Did you really have to jump on this thread and do that? This thread was just about spotting a kilt while people were visiting two places in Scotland.

Cynthia, I apologize to you for the thread-jack. I used to really enjoy the Sci-Fi network, and I feel pretty strongly about a lot of their current programming of shows that might be 'fiction' but not 'Science Fiction'. I'll blame my lack of decorum on the late hour, and the fact that I'd just been discussing the same sort of topics over on the Facebook SyFy Boycott page.

And Arlen, you could have stated your potential interest in shows like that without directing a personal insult at me for being a rennie. You continue to show a lack of the neutrality a moderator should have.

First off, the comment wasn't directed at you as an insult, just a comparison of something you enjoy but I don't. Not meant to be negative in any way or a dig or insulting. I have plenty of friends who adore ren faires and go frequently and I don't judge them for it. Likewise, I really enjoy plenty of things they find annoying/trite/stuffy and would never do. (Such as Larping or historical re-enactment.) I actually don't tend to enjoy shows like that since I find them very false, but if they are in a location I like I will watch them to find out a bit more about it.
I am sorry if my comment came across as an insult. It was genuinely meant as a simple comparison.

As for you feeling that I show a continued lack of neutrality; Please, go ahead and bring it up with the other Mods and Steve. I will not be angry or insulted. If I had known you felt that way or if you had contacted me previously then perhaps we could have dealt with it at an earlier date.
I try hard to make a note of 'taking off the mod hat' whenever I am doing something that is strictly my opinion and of dealing with moderator issues in as impartial and objective a way as I possibly can.
However, unless it's brought up with me as it happens I'll never know that I'm coming across that way and can never learn/change my communication style etc. (Like just now.)

Well it's all individual preference, I mean, I don't go to Ren Faires because of the amount of people in historically inaccurate Kilt costumes, but some people just love the feeling of the places, wear whatever they want and have a wonderful time.
I don't watch much T.V. at all but I'd watch something like that if I came across it just to enjoy seeing a bit of home or an interesting castle elsewhere.
