Way I see it, if I'd done a scanlation and actually made a serious attempt to have it accurate, clean, and fancy -- with titel, err, TITLE pages and everything -- then I'd fully understand such not-rational-but-comprehensible ire... which is why I didn't. It's why I said, don't distribute outside this comm (and have done my best to check elsewhere to make sure this remains true), it's why I left in notes about what parts didn't make sense to me in translating, it's why I didn't try to do a consistent and fully-cleaned presentation. I wanted to make it clear that it wasn't something to be taken as quality enough to save, and surpass, any later-comers.
I've never heard of DP having state-sized egos, so I suspect this is a case of one member going off on her own thanks to her own insecurities, more than anything born from the group's mindset. And thus, I equally dismiss it, too. (Okay, and mock, but I mock even what I don't dismiss. I am all about the mock.)
Although I think with the last part of ch1 -- and the remaining chapters -- I'll just be even more blatant about including the hanzi, pinyin, and literal translations. Just to make it perfectly obvious!
