Now THIS is how you do C&C if you disagree with something.

Um..thanks!
<"If I were in the same situation, with the same bad information as 
Mamoru, how much less suspiciously would I be acting?">

Me?  I'd back off and try to show that I'm a good person, instead of 
going behind everyones backs and sabatoging(sp?) my chances of being 
trusted again.
Except how do you show you're a good person, when you don't know what 
the problem is?

Ami: Well, maybe now, but once he gets his memory back?  I found out 
that he's under sentance of death in some place named Joketsuzoku for 
an "attack on one of their female citizens.>

Amazons keep computer records? ^_^
They have newspapers, why not?  Or it could be someone keeping track of 
the Amazons for the Chinese government.

<Usagi:  But  Ranma doesn't attack girls.
Ami: I'm afraid so.  Ranma is obviously a convicted rapist.  It's on 
a computer so it must be true.

Usagi: Does that mean the wedding is off?>

(Facefault)

<(back to prose mode)

See how easy it it?>

Point taken.
Bonus points if this gets used in TRIO :-)

<Doug, you mentioned "Bitter End" and "Ill Met" and asked (more or 
less) what the differences between those and "Mama's Hand" is 
(outside the obvious plot contingencies.)>

Actually, that was me.
Oops.

<SNIP, a dang convincing argument.>

(Zero and J.Bison, who were readying the torture device, suddenly 
slump as they see Flashman listening to SKJAM!)

Bison: Does this mean we're not going to kill him now?
Flashman: Don't worry.  We're going to try and be nicer and more 
understanding to Mamoru, (evil grin) but Endymion's still fair game.

Whoever he *really* is...
I guess the reason this story gets me so uptight is because I have 
known several people who have been abused by their parents over the 
course of my life.  I thank God it's never happened to me, but it 
still gets to me when I see it happen to someone else.
Me too, which is why I had to take a *big* step back from the story and 
check my reactions.


SKJAM!
(Maybe I'll use it in Half Moon...)
