Well, I agree with the word amazing.

Anyway, this close analysis shows that Ranma is being provoked, largely
by a terribly OOC Akane, to the extreme edge of his IC envelope, or beyond
if you don't believe he'd do this to any woman other than Akane.  And
outside of that special case, I can't think of any woman who he's that
impolite to.  He may be a jerk, but not this much of a jerk.

<<shrug>>  Zen fails to see what anyone's problem is...  Akane and Lina can
fight over Ryouga, and Ranma gets Ukyou!  Everyone's happy!  ^_^

Keep writing, Christina-san! ^_^
