I knew you'd have to come out and do a few cheers for us.

>>> "Maybe, but not by you. You have proven that you can't discuss or analyze these issues rationally." <<<

I see that you've added whining to your routine, but so far I haven't seen anything more spectacular than a few back-flips.

>>> "But you lied. You adopted HD DVD for specious reasons, refused to listen to logic and were hugely insulting to those like me who called you on your hypocrisy and questioned your false statements." <<<

We aren't discussing HD-DVD here, but just to keep the facts straight, you're dead wrong. The reasons aren't specious. Many folks in the industry STILL consider HD-DVD was the best shot at a next generation high resolution format for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being competitive pricing of players and media, and the fact that HD-DVD had fewer glitches and was more market ready when introduced.

I can prove this assertion, but that's not why I posted this link for discussion; this is about Blu-ray's future and I expect you to respect that rather than getting all whiny.

As for being insulting, that's a laugh. In Yiddish I believe it's also called chutzpah. You're the dude who acted like a giddy fan-boy creaming yourself over every biased Blu-ray assertion and quick to ridicule those of us who had any interest in HD-DVD. Don't try spinning that baloney here because it's easy to locate your silliness in the archives.

>>> "And yet you bought the first HD DVD player on the market. So much for your simple rule." <<<

Another weak and easily refutable piece of misinformation. I think you're getting rusty from your clownish behavior over on the Outside board, but we won't go there.

FTR, I bought my first HD-DVD Player less than a year ago, in August as I recall, and it most certainly wasn't the first player on the market.

Now that I've virtually tucked you in for the evening, rhetorically speaking, I'll see what some of the adult voices around here have to say.
