Very good write up.
This is how I view the demographic of the HD-DVD supporter:
1)
The Shill: MS/Toshiba propaganda evangelists seeded throughout the tech/media forums with the intent to spread misinformation to the uninformed masses.
Notables: RDJam, HMurchison, Amir, Lee Stewart, David Vaughn
2)
The Anarchist: Irrational hatred of all things Sony! They have a difficult time grasping the concept that the BDA consist of the majority of the CE industry and studios. Under the fervent belief that that the BDA is anti-consumer, while at the same time gleefully supporting the Toshiba/MS bribe to Paramount that effectively blocked access of movies to BD customers. Often rude. Low IQ. Will frequently resort to cheap shots and disparaging remarks.
3)
Saint Jude: Champion of lost causes. This individual enjoys defying the odds and being the underdog. Close cousin to the anarchist.
4)
Four Eyes: Short sighted. Bought into HD-DVD based on price versus BD specs, merit, and long term potential.
5)
Lenny (Of Mice and Men): Woefully ignorant to all things HD. Easily influenced by the shill. Like a battered spouse, Lenny will make excuses for HDDVD shortcomings. Often requires an intervention, but over time can be rehabilitated.
