<snip Akane-bash by Nobody>

Love is blind, Nobody. If love made sense, it wouldn't be as interesting.

You have made it quite clear that you do not like Akane. Fine. But stop all
this "Akane doesn't deserve Ranma / Akane should die / Akane is evil /
Akane is the antichrist / Akane eats babies for breakfast" - Flamewar
Kindling, because I have had it up to HERE (hand above head) with that
crap. It's just as wrong as a certain red-throated individual (not
mentioning any names :) requiring that all portrayals of Akane's or any
other Takahashi-character must be true-to-form. Holding the opinion but not
imposing it is okay. And I try to practice what I preach.

And if you really think Akane's that bad, go write your own goddamn fic!
And you're perfectly free to delete fics you don't like.

I had thought that the mailing list was past the "Akane/Shampoo/Ukyou/
Kodachi should die"-FlameWar stage. If you start one, I'll sic Tybalt on
you! And if you continue to behave like an asshole, then I will consider
you to be truly deserving of your nickname.


<snip rant>
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP, NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE THE MOST ANNOYING THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF!!!

Besides SPAM? :)

DARN YOU, NOBODY!!!! DARN YOU ALL THE WAY TO HECCCKKK!!!!!

Calm down. Have some dip.

And be sure to get that shift key checked. It seems to be stuck. :)

Anyway, this behavior is just as asinine as Nobody's. Don't let it get to
you. Nobody will think any less of you for writing yet another "Ranma gets
Akane" fanfic. :)
