This was Dan Ramers quoute:

"I spotted an ad for an HD DVD petition website and I clicked through to check it out. The nature of the site is to persuade visitors to pressure BD-exclusive studios to issue their content on the HD DVD format. There is a solicitation for signatures on a related petition. To motivate potential signatories, the site would have readers believe that HD DVD is superior to Blu-ray Disc, but it attempts to persuade with a deceitful and devious tactic. Some of my high definition disc reviews and others written by fellow reviewers and editors around the Web are generously quoted in two sections: one for HD DVD and one for Blu-ray Disc. But the site handpicked comments about the best HD DVDs and the worst BDs. This dishonest tactic of comparing the best with the worst naturally would lead unknowledgeable readers to the inevitable and erroneous conclusion that HD DVD’s presentation is better than BD’s.


In my column More Of What We've Learned So Far of October 19th, I compared all HD DVDs with all BDs and I compared the best HD DVDs with the best BDs. My unavoidable conclusion is that BD provides a better presentation than HD DVD. And I again suggested that BD’s higher bit rate, made possible by its greater storage capacity, was responsible. "


Sounds to me like rdjam is getting called out.
