  Long and the short of all this: Please, tone down the Shampoo bashing- 
and more important, the Shampoo fan bashing. One's liking Shampoo's character 
does not imply that one is dense, perverse, or in denial. One is permitted 
to not like Akane (I dare say I don't) and to find her unpleasant and 
Shampoo pleasant, and in many ways they'd be justified. Please keep that in 
mind.

	Good point!  I don't necessarily agree with your opinion on the 
characters, but then everyone should have their own opinion.  Actually, Shampoo 
is not that bad.  If Akane wasn't in Ranma 1/2 she might have been my favorite 
character.  Yes, we should try to keep this discussion just on the character, 
instead of making generalization on that character's fans.
