Well, if he hangs with the EFNet #anime! crowd, you have to have some teeth
to protect your posterity. I've been known to get downright medeval on
USENET
for instance. I don't hang with many of them, because to be frank, they're
kinda hard to fit in with, and some of them are downright hostile. Sometimes
I
think they're a little odd. Though I met up with a guy I know who goes by
Raider3 at AX, and he's pretty cool.

Shit. I talked with him as I left the pannel and made my way down to the
lobby
to go home. He didn't seem too odd. Although he was very zealous about
getting
a copy of the Macross 15th Aniversary One-Night Stand video, claiming that
he'd
pay anything. I wouldn't hold that against him too much though. The Kanno
bit
is definately over the top however. Even if you're providing even a half
accurate
description. :/
BTW, Terrance, I publicly slammed Working Designs at the Media Blaster's
pannel
when they were showing their Rayearth dub. Later I got into a debate with
the
gentleman in question, an AX staff guy, and another person or two about WD's
incompetence. It was a glorious moment to be able to create such civil
unrest! j/k
Score another one for the anti-WD "fanboy"! :P~~~
Okay, so maybe I'm embellishing it just a tad.... :)
