        People, remember.  This ML is supposed to be fun.  Just about
anything goes in here, except for images and spam.  Flamewars are great, and
I think Jaymz's example of his reply was entertaining to read.

        I think HTG and you (Jaymz) are both kinda wrong about Akane.  You
see, Akane _is_ kind and rational (sometimes), but she is definitely _not_
sweet tempered.  While she loses her temper easily, it's usually because of
Ranma's other fiancees or Ranma's actions (like pretending to be Ryoga's
so-and-so, or whatever).

        On the other hand, normal people don't beat the crap out of their
fiancees for little slights, real and imagined.

        Besides, RT never intended R1/2 to be true-to-life.  If you want a
true-to-life story, look up Maison Ikkoku.  Akane smashing Ranma's head into
three feet of concrete, or sending him into orbit with a throw or a punch,
is just for comedic effect.  While it looks painful, it doesn't seem to
bother Ranma too much, so Akane could keep on doing it over and over again.
