- Are you kidding?!?!?
- I am dreading the day the group ever sees a discussion that you *would*
- consider a problem. Don't you consider it odd and discomforting that a large
- number of people have taken offense to many of the things you said? Are you
- blind to the insults of others or is your system somehow flame-proof?

- Not really. We simply have an *indepth* understanding of your opinions.
- How *will* we prevent animation from going down the toilet? I'm sure you
- would say: prevent animated girls with guns and lesbians. But your view
- has certainly not become the consensus. I personally *don't* have any
- solutions on how to keep animation alive and well.

- > I think everyone is tired of this (including me)
-
- Oh certainly. But you seem so unaware of the viewpoints of others that I
- couldn't let your article go by with a response. I apologize for not letting
- this thread die (and for what turned out to be a 'sort-of' flame).

- Anime *is* animation. Anime has its own group and indepth discussions on
- anime are more appropriate there, but I don't think there is anything wrong
- with the odd remark on anime here. For you to have talked so long about
- anime and then say it doesn't belong here is madness.
