I feel it necessary to respond to the list, since the message being 
responded to was posted to the list as well. It has been treated to 
public view, therefore response will be in kind. 

Razorclaw, I found it hard to understand this statement, until I 

realized

your point of view was impaired.  

  Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.... 

If you remove your head from your ass,
you may find this fic as good as the rest of us did.

  Forgive me for asking, but who is 'the rest of us' you mentioned? Are 
you privy to the author's private e-mail, or are there hidden C&C 
messages which I've yet to see? 
  And by what right do you feel it necessary to resort to such language 
in a public (even if it is a private list, this is far from a private 
message) forum? 

beside how much the crossover doesn't seem to work (at least, not 

for 

me; the moment Urd popped up I refused to buy it), beside how 

utterly 

If I had used the ghosts, I felt it would have been even more of a 

copy

rather than a slightly different twist, which was what I was going 

for.

He complains that it's too much like the Dicken's tale, then it's not
enough like?  This isn't C&C, this is vomitous spew.

  By what assumption do you base this upon? I felt that bringing in 
goddesses was a bit out of whack. 
  I'm sorry you had to take my words as flames. The author sure didn't 
(and I respect him for such; it's an admirable virtue to withstand 
criticism). 

one-sided Nabiki was written (I think it's safe to say that we can 

agree 

that she ain't a cold-hearted bastard, dare I say SCROOGE, but 

that's 

the impression I got from this), beside.... 

Since being a cold hearted bastard and seeing the error of your ways is
the entire POINT of the story...

  That might have been the point of the original Dickens story, but.... 
  The impression I got was that the point of the story was to stick 
Ranma characters in a situation not unlike the original Christmas Carol. 
That was not far from the truth. 

Not that I'd expect you to understand that.

  Too many assumptions breeds conflict. I expect an apology in the 
morning. 

Sorry you had to suffer through that twit's vileness.  I offer my 

services

to use my clue-by-four on him.

  Unlike the author, who took my criticisms in stride, you seem to have 
some kind of problem. I can't think of any other respectable list 
member, in recent memory, who resorted to your use of language and 
behavior on this list. 

As for you, Razorclaw, I find you utterly lacking in the christmas 

spirit

and sentence you to suffer the visitations of ghosts three.

  It is my duty as a reader to provide feedback to the author. Whether 
it has something to do with Christmas or not is immaterial; what is, 
however, is what is written, and how it was written. The fact that it is 
the right time of year does not excuse what I perceive to be a flawed 
story. 

Grow up, moron.

  I expect an apology in the morning. Public apology, I might add. Your 
behavior in response to my perfectly-reasonable criticisms was uncalled 
for, and downright rotten. 
  If you weren't the list owner, I might have asked Tybalt to temp-ban 
you for your indecent public behavior. But, since you are, there's 
really nothing I can do about it.
