Heheh. Hey I did try to bring it on topic for you. The irony being,
while I posted an on-top reply in your off-topic post, 99% of the post
complaining or responding to you from regulars were off topic! Typical :)

Yes, safer to *avoid* trouble, with Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Kung Fu
Panda, Dark Knight, psychotic videogame columnists in lawsuits, Wall-E,
and whether or not Wall-E actually appears on the "Ratatouille" DVD.

(Except for "Speed Racer", which of course was an anime. Any dicussion
thereof is, as we know, holy and blameless.)

I appreciate you having my back. And I haven't forgotten about Sea
Wasp with his blanket absolution, that was nice, too.

Ah, the private chumminess of the Wounded Net-K00k:
Soon, he'll be defending his posts on the basis that his close circle of
Bestest Friends on the Whole Wide Group want to read them, even if no
one else in the immediate vicinity does...

(And yes, I know we referred to Darky as a WNK, but similar patterns do
eventually emerge, depending on the depth of the wound and the tenacity
of "recovery".)

For the record, while I had no interest in your review (since I instantly
lose interest in anything Star Wars related the moment someone bashes the
prequels), I felt the level of vitriol being thrown around here was
extremely excessive. This wasn't a matter of life or death; and RAAM doesn't
and never will get enough traffic that it's worth getting upset about
off-topic postings. I feel some people are being excessively anal, even if I
do agree in principle that completely anime-unrelated things ought not to be
posted.

Only the people most interested in sucking the remaining life and
enjoyment out of the newsgroup. Only by blindly following rigid
rules of behavior can you have a truly functioning anarchy, where
all can participate if they behave in the approved manner.

Cap.

I do.

(Who cares if Tarou is replaced by Ukyo in that picture? You do. We
all have little things that annoy us.)

That Viz altered a picture to put on a box set that didn't include the
character removed doesn't annoy me in the slightest. I want to find the
original picture to possess it as a collector, and have for some years. You
are comparing apples and oranges, and really, I would've thought better of
you.

"Forum" is a word, and as has been pointed out repeatedly, its English
definition would indeed include a USENET newsgroup. Now, a "webforum" is
something else again. But in either case, is it really worth people getting
cranky over?
