[Quoting VGAP]

     I guess it was selfish of me. I was trying to
avoid making a never-ending discussion, but I can't
stop people from expressing their opinions. Mr. Kleppe
and those that were offended by my post, please accept
my apology.

For the record, I wasn't offended by anything VGAP said; I just wasn't
willing to bow out of this discussion on his say-so.

    Also, while I do agree that there is no way Ranma's friendship with 
Ukyou could be stronger than his love for Akane, but it isn't as weak of 
Gary Kleppe made it sound.  Ranma hardly ends up eating at the Nekohanten 
when he's got problems(there are example, but they escape me at the moment). 

He never does that at Ukyo's, either.

 I'm not saying that he feels the need to always confide in Ukyou.  He 
does, however, go to her place to get away/think/brood about his problems.  

Nope. That's fanfic myth. In all thirty-eight volumes, there's not one
scene where Ranma went to Ukyo for a heart-to-heart talk. I've
repeatedly challenged the Ukyo fanboys to show me where in the manga he
did this, and they've never been able to answer.
