"Someone else came in and said 'Well, I skipped those videos, you know, they should understand that when you submit a video with that type of content, you know no one's gonna watch it.'
"That kind irked me. 'Cause as far as I've always understood the competition is, you enter the competition, you're a judge. And as a judge, that sounds really petty and childish to not watch every single video because as a judge you're expected to be unbiased, you're expected to watch every video, whether or not you like the video, I mean, there's so many videos I watch when I'm judging for other competitions, when I do basic pre-judging for Youmacon, for ACen this past year, there are so many videos I would not want to see once, I have to watch it 10+ times because I take my job seriously as a coordinator, as someone who is judging these videos based on content, on, you know, all the pre-judging and things that way do, I take that job seriously, and I watch every video, and if they videos suck, okay it sucked. If it had low quality, okay, it had low quality. If the video was really fun, really engaging, had good editing techniques, I'd go with that, even if I didn't like the source material, even if I didn't like the audio, if I, you know, if it's the 20th Death Note video in the competition, I'd still watch it 'cause that's what I'm required to do as a judge. And so it just, to me, that whole point of view just kinda irks me. And this has kinda sparked a bit of a drama, I should say....."
I still don't feel like I misquoted. And I also don't see how you could think I thought you were talking about me personally, unless you mixed up mine and Nessephanie's post. Personally, I watched all the videos, I thought this much was obvious from the fact that I left comments about all of them. And I did so before the "H-video" drama, which I didn't really participate in. I watch every video, multiple times, and feel it is important to do so but I can accept when others feel differently about it.
I realize that you were conveying your side of the argument, I don't have any problem with that aspect. My problem was that you were doing it in a very biased way, all the while talking about what an unbiased judge you were. For one, Nessephanie never said that no one would watch the videos. She said:

If she had said "No one will watch those videos, they're hentai." then yeah, I could kinda justify calling that childish. But she didn't. And then you take that, run with it, and make it sound like she was just skipping every video that sucked rather than skipping a few based on content. (She did come back and clarify her position, but I think this was after you'd recorded. I still don't totally agree, but she's not planning to vote in the hentai category, so I'm alright with it.)
Perhaps I should just take these more as "This Week in Ngsilver's AMV-world" or some such but I interpreted them as meant to be representative of what's going on at the org, and it's hard to do that one-sided. Not your fault, you've already addressed that and it looks like you're trying to get more people on with you, which is good, but the past shows have already been recorded and released.
