Re: Yes, broken halo.

In Response To: Yes, broken halo. (WaLKa)

: I'd prefer it if you'd have left your comments in the forum and off the news
: post.

For some reason I'm bothered by this statement. I could've sworn Wu maintained this site out of his own pocket, although I could be wrong about that. However, no matter what his financial sacrifice is in maintaining this site (free of charge), I'm fairly certain that he puts more heart into HBO than anyone else out there. For some reason, I'd say that would give him more say about what goes into news posts than you.

I could be wrong.

The only analogy I could draw would be one of cars. Say Wu has a fleet of Porsches that he let's people drive, anyone who shows up at his door and asks for keys. He maintains them, he polishes them, he goes nuts if he accidentally puts a scratch on one of them, and he profusely apologizes to anyone that it inconveniences while he buffs it out. So one normal day he puts some dice in the mirror of one of them. And he gets punched in the nose by an irate driver.

This has probably been said elsewhere (and more eloquently, too), but I have no desire to be late for class. No matter, I think it would bear repeating in any case.

And, like I said, I could be wrong.
