- You know, telling us this tale of woe for the second or third time is not
- going to change the fact that it is only from your point of view (yes,
- the people who support you have similar points of view, but many others
- do not). Hearing the story from the other side doesn't paint such an
- innocent picture of the AA supporters. Gee, imagine that. It only goes
- to show that biased interpretations of the situation doesn't prove much,
- and eventually only feeds the fire of disagreement. Thanks again for
- doing that.

- This fact does not invalidate what Albert said about the staff that chose
- to remain with AX. There are such people (he is one of them) and so what does
- that show? It shows some people agree with Mike and others disagree.

- Spelling and grammar are two (too, to, tew) different things. Grammar seemed
- to be the problem on the previous post. I'm sure you don't want to post
- articles with bad grammar when you post, and most people tend to like
- seeing the english language used properly when they read. It tends to cut
- down on misunderstandings. I'm sure you'd certainly support avoiding
- misunderstandings, right?

- Come on now, "vomit"? Well, if we're into nausea, how about the nauseating
- articles about AX and "when are they gonna post about their GOHs"? Well,
- they have now. And I'll forget "quality" here. Mikimoto is probably one of
- the most popular figures in the anime world today. And amongst my friends
- and associates, his works are generally much more favored than others
- (including those guests on either guest list). Certainly, there is no one
- on either list that I can come close to, in terms of anime/manga related
- talent, and they all certainly deserve their positions as professionals.
- But compared amongst themselves, there is a relative (albeit subjective)
- ranking. What you want us to do here is equate all of these people's
- popularity, and that's like saying that we should enjoy watching
- Pierce Holt as much as watching Joe Montana. Both are great at what they do,
- but one tends to be more popular than the other (for whatever reasons).
- Hey, it's a fact: Mikimoto as a very large fan base.
