2: Dawn beating someone like Zoey and winning her first Grand Festival after episodes of losing would be really unrealistic.

This is rather like saying I\\\'m not allowed to complain when someone mishears something I say as something downright awful. If someone mishears \\\"I don\\\'t like those shoes\\\" as an anti-Semitic comment, for instance, the fact that he has blatantly misunderstood me is quite relevant.

Rae, it would have taken you literally two lines in the thread (not even in the PDF, just \\\'\\\'in the thread\\\'\\\') to say that you were using specific game mechanics from other people\\\'s work. That you didn\\\'t is dishonest and lazy and that you keep insisting it\\\'s no big deal is part of the reason I\\\'m continuing to harp on about it.

You\\\'ve yet to explain how two uses of the word \\\"stealing\\\" (both the same use and both semantically accurate) constitutes vitriol.

[=GameCube=]: Just offhand, here\\\'s the second sub-definition of \\\"steal\\\" provided by the Dictionary widget on my computer:
-->\\\"dishonestly pass off (another person\\\'s ideas) as one\\\'s own \\\'\\\': accusations that one group had stolen ideas from the other were soon flying.\\\'\\\'\\\"
:: Now, the definition of \\\"plagiarize\\\" from the same dictionary[=:=]
--> \\\"take (the work or idea of someone else) and pass it off as one\\\'s own.\\\"
:: Both of these words mean the same thing. Both of them are things you did. At no point was I attempting to be friendly in pointing this out; \\\"matter-of-fact\\\" was the intended tone.

Wii: ...Which I had absolutely no way of knowing about and which you had never mentioned before this juncture. Meanwhile, I have roughly a year of miscommunications and argument-from-the-same-side in my experience with you demonstrating that neither of us is terribly good at making our stances clear to the other.

(In case it wasn\\\'t clear, I\\\'m poking at the fact that you apparently don\\\'t know how to write multiple postscripts -- it\\\'s \\\"P.P.S.\\\" for \\\"post-post-script,\\\" not \\\"P.S.2.\\\" for \\\"post-script 2.\\\" [[DontExplainTheJoke I\\\'d have hoped you\\\'d have caught on after the first instance, but it seems I have to be explicit about it.]])

(I\\\'d have gotten back to this earlier, but I\\\'ve been busy dealing with a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/review_comments.php?id=1098 greater display of irrationality.]] Feel free to chip in.)
