You guys saw my last post and you know my opinions when it comes to hk DVD's.. It's not a big stretch for me to say that I own more HK stuff than most hk buyers.. With the exception of Arcon who prolly has like 10 times as much as I do. 
With that being said, I think everyone needs to take a step back and stop slamming Steve because he has an opinion. We all have our own opinions and if we can't voice them intelligently without insulting someone else, then maybe we shouldn't be posting at all. I can understand why some may not like R1 rips.. I don't like the idea of them myself, as I understand that if the set is a perfect version that I should be suppoting the R1 companies and buying that legit release. That being said, I choose not to spend that money when there is a perfect HK set because I am not wealthy. Would I prefer to have that R1 set? Sure. But money is money and my supply is not infinite. Do I own all of my top 10 favorite series in R1 form? Nope. But I will attempt to buy the Maison Ikkoku stuff R1 and I will buy the Digi Charat stuff as it comes out.. As far as Card Captor Sakura goes.. I'd love to, but I don't have the cash to drop on what, 18 R1's? Ah well. I know there are those on the forums who really don't care about the R1 companies. I'm not gonna say it's wrong cause who am I to judge , but I find that a bit sad. Folks who truly don't want to support companies who make the product they love available to the masses truly make me wonder.. The industry will make more money, creating a domino effect which will in the end allow more and better quality anime to be produced. Is this a bad thing? Again, I own lots of HK stuff. You all know why I own it. Respect the opinions of those who choose to do otherwise. Steve buys hk's series that are not available on R1 and chooses to buy R1's of other series. Respect that. You wanna disagree? Great. Voice your opinions. But do it intelligently and leave the cheap shots out of it. Steve has been here a long time, and has supported these forums long enough to be treated a little better than this.
