I have some sympathy with the ideas that people got too worked about this, took it too personally, and had too much animosity toward people that went with HD DVD.

But you lose almost all credibility when you say this:

And, by the way, that right there is why a lot of people are happy the format war is over: Encodes can now be done to take advantage of BD's higher throughput and disc capacity.
