Over on the Blu-ray.com forums (like we're neutral either), AVS Forums
had become a symbolic punchline/buzzword for the schoolyard tactics and
general hinder-talking that was being demonstrated by the more rabid
HDDVD supporters as public support dwindled--
Microsoft's own consumer media head Amir Majidimehr was a protected
"celebrity" on the HD forum and had been narcissistically self-promoting
King Bully on the playground--and with some of the most howling PR
propaganda/misinformation this side of Ken Graffeo--before he also had
to make an unscheduled exit from the Forums.
The kids on the BR forums would say "Did you see what they said this
week?--Let's go over there and get 'em!", and the regulars would calm
them down with "Why bother, they'll just make more..."
