HEY!! That's ENOUGH! Here's what *I* see here, and you'd all do well to step back, take a deep breath and realize that I'm on the outside of this argument so I *MIGHT* have a slightly uncluttered view than the rest of you.
1. Azrael posts a worthwhile heads up about some serious Woo about to materialize on C4.
2. Janice post a RELEVANT, ON-TOPIC, and USEFUL, piece of information, namely the scheduling data for the show in question.
3. World+dog piles on to Janice for something she may have said in a past thread, this is of course unprovoked (all she did HERE was post scheduling info!) and competely OFF-TOPIC in this particular thread.
4. inevitably this causes the entire thread to degenerate into a fight, and all opportunity for those of us who want to have an ON-TOPOC discussion has effectively been destroyed. Well done folks, well done indeed. In the pursuit of a personal vendetta you've trashed a good line of discussion and REDUCED the amount of viable EDUCATION gainable from this thread.
People, GET OVER YOURSELVES, this isn't even about whether or not you've been wrongs at some point anymore, are you completely incapable of seeing that these sorts of attacks are harming the entire purpose of this forums existence?? Are you so intent on pursuing vendettas that you simply CANNOT refrain from posting off-topic and ruining threads???
Oh and one more thing, I have NOT read back into whatever may or may nto have happened with Janice in the past, this is simply because I believe in judging a person fresh on the actions I witness myself, and the first thing I witnessed her doing is providing me with a piece of useful information that allowed me to shedule a recording of this show (and don't tell me it's not worth watching, ALWAYS watch what the woo mongers are feeding to their viewers, it's vital information!) Which is more than most everyone else whose joined this slugfest.
Furthermore I note a particular comment that implies that simply showing INTEREST in the POSSIBILITY of an afterlife is a form of 'woo'. That sort of argument is extremely falacious, it is directly contradictory to good science to state negative proof, you CANNOT say there is no afterlife, you can only say there is no viable PROOF of an afterlife, the possibility of an afterlife very much still exists and is simply impossible to disprove, merely investigating that possibility is not a woo infection, wanting to know more is not a woo infection, blindly BELIEVING that the dead talk to Sylvia Browne or whomever else is woo infection. Get the difference? Because if you don't you're a very poor skeptic indeed, your bias is preventing you from maintaining an open mind moderated by good science and instead forcing you into incorrect unscientific conclusions, and are therefore as much in the wrong forum as a woo monger would be!

That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about, you act like kids you fuel the real nutballs' fires.
