You did not simply ask a question. You said you wouldn't be so sure what I said was true, and went on to mention the nudity in Ranma as a reason for your doubt. So, no, you did not actually accuse the library of prudishness; I apologize for overstating the case when you merely implied prudisheness.
You have also, twice now, implied that I am either careless or stupid. Once by assuming that I would say Ranma could be available without knowing for sure that it *was* in some places. Twice by assuming that my feelings for my spouse have anything to do with my high opinion of public libraries. If you want me to stop assuming things, I will thank you to stop as well given that your assumptions have been considerably more insulting.
If your intention was simply to ask a question, may I suggest that you do so without immediately casting doubt on your target's truthfulness and/or knowledge. It rather undermines the chances of your query being taken seriously, not to mention calmly.
Arlington libraries, by the way, only have the OVA, a fact I found mildly ironic considering the recommendations made in this thread. They do, however, have a nice bunch of the manga, should you happen to be missing any of the early volumes.
