Hey Arcon,
While I appreciate the opinion, let's get one thing straight: This is not an HKdvd news site. It's a store and a review site with a message board attached. The rants are just what the title implies. They are rants, and if they weren't personal opinions, they would not be rants. They hopefully add a bit of color to the front page of the site and if the discussion from these first two has been any indication, people have fun with them. I'm not so self-centered that I expect the people reading the rants to take my opinion as gospel, but I'm also not so naive as to believe that the readers who come and read the rants will be so offended that they'll never come back to the site. Who knows, maybe by responding to the thread and discussing, they might meet some of the forum regulars and want to visit the boards.. You know where to find HK news, since I see you on the arcticnightfall forums all the time and you're sometimes the one reporting news. If you don't like the rants, don't read em. I certainly wouldn't if I were you, since you don't seem to enjoy them. The rants take nothing away from the site, as the same updates that you're used to seeing will be right below them. It's my sincere hope that some of the topics raised will interest people enough to get them to respond and discuss the issues at hand. And if you honestly believe that by encouraging people to buy some R1 releases that I'm discouraging them from buying HK releases, then perhaps you don't know your fellow anime fans as well as you think you do, because many of us buy just as many R1's as we do HK releases, myself included. If you disagree, please post a reply in the other rant and voice your opinion. If you'd rather not participate in the rant discussions, then, again, by all means, please don't read them and move on. We'll hold our little discussions without you.
