An apology.

I'm not really back, mostly because I'm in the middle of hell week for the production I'm working on and today's my only free day until next week, but I've been doing some thinking over the weekend, and I wanted to say this.

I reacted badly last Wednesday, and I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that the behavior of dub fans "sickened" me. There are

Hi, I was about to type up something and I realized you said it perfectly, echoing your sentiment.

Also the biggest reason this pissed me off is because of who you are. Having someone as influential in this fandom as you essentially promoting that level of hatred towards the dub and fans of it just really isn't good because people will follow your example.

Particularly this. It kinda stinks cause I know the people working on the dub, so hearing that I supported them kind of insulted me. I mean, taking away the dub, the whole anti-licensing affair people are adopting is quickly turning me off of this fandom then again, three years is a bit long. The whole attitude a lot are adopting of Funi simply approaching it in the first place, much less dubbing it is apparently akin to something of a hate crime. I've already had someone describe licensing to me, and then tell me point blank that FUNIMATION DOESN'T DO THAT--THEY RUIN THINGS

That's certainly how you're coming off; I felt that buying downloaded subs was a very reasonable compromise so your suggestion did feel like you were trying to convince (I never said force; thankfully this conversation has been civil) me to buy the dvd. In any case, I think it is easy to agree that our priorities are divergent here. Best of luck trying to tackle piracy in fandom. I'm not nearly so passionate about it, but I do think it's something that needs addressing.
