Why is it that Cologne takes such flak?  I know about the breaking point
and the cat-tongue but what else has she done to be considered such a
b____?

1) I wasn't giving Cologne flak here...I was paying her the complement of
understanding human emotions...
	<claps> Bravo.

2) She made his worst enemy almost invincible (by giving him a technique
that they thought was _deadly_ at the time) and she practically trapped
Ranma in his female form (which he hates...) That's not enough reason for
her to be considered a b____?  What is?!
	I'll be the first to admit that Cologne is an underhanded and
Macciavellian(sp?) sneak with an aversion to simply leveling with people
rather than playing puppeteer. 
	That being said, all of her 'mistreatment' of Ranma has ended with
him becoming more powerful or skilled than before.  Also, I have yet to
see Cologne act with _malice_ (not being rough or demanding, but outright
cruelty for the sake of it) towards anyone save perhaps Mousse.
