I wouldn't consider you a HD DVD "basher" just as I wouldn't consider Robert George a Blu-Ray "basher". As for being a "counterweight" to Ruined, that implies you're seeking to match his tactics in the interest of balancing things out. If this truly is your belief, then you're basically calling yourself a "basher", where I would not call you one.

I consider you, and others, to simply be enthusiastic about this technology and are anxious to see how things will play out. There's nothing wrong with that.
But that is to assume I have an agenda in the hd wars. I don't insomuchas I don't have some vested interest in who wins. The reason I say that my posts are not as bad is because I don't start threads with the intention of bashing the opposing format. The counterweight is to balance what is almost an hd-dvd preference on this forum, at least from the outspoken forum members. I know Iggy has wished there was more said from the bd side, but we don't feel the need to trash hd-dvd in order for us to say that bd is great. When bd or the ps3 is being denigrated, I won't just let it go unchallenged. I've stated this before. But my agenda is not to see the destruction of hd-dvd, unlike some on this forum in regard to bd/Sony.

There is a difference between being "anxious to find how things play out" and another to be a propaganda voice for one format that bashes another. Maybe you don't see the difference.

That's NOT what I meant. I meant, how would you (and others) feel about Obi if he were proven to be right? Would you recant your comments about him above?

Peace...
Well, Ruined doesn't say things that aren't later proven to be true. My opinion of him as biased remains the same. Ditto for Obi.
