Kudos to Bullseye, who pointed out an interesting (and rather long) discussion that has popped up at Shugashack following the release of the IncitePC movie. Still reading through it, but Bulls remarked mentioned that there are a lot of jaded people here. At least they cited the FAQ... ;)
If you do decide to go and participate in this discussion, though, keep your cool. It's better to inform people and cite information that can be found in abundance here and at halo.bungie.org than to get into an argument with someone who hasn't yet been exposed to Halo. That said, go forth and enlighten!
