Wowsers....
at long last I've decided to say something after reading these bits from
UTB (Under the bridge - not to be mistaken in any way from over thwe
rainbow.)
Now as I see it our friend with he odd choice in living arrangements
(can we call you Kappa-chan??? as opposed to our mob-boss friend
Cappo-chan)
has at some times been quite silly in has acusations, sometimes quite
wrong and sometimes (the rareset) come close to some almost-truths....
(as a compliete aside here..... what sort of Super-genius would use
hotmail? -unless it'
s Wi-li (no relation to Bruce))
The thing is
WRITING IS NOT LIFE!!!!
Something that seems impossible or implausible in literature can be very
life-like but not at all believable in fiction.
The reverse also applies...
What we are doing here to a large part however is writing fiction based
on fictional worlds...thus what possibly seems to be unrealistic in
naturalistic or other forms of writing (is anime fiction
"super-realistic" "magic-realism" or something different?) Is not...
handt plot contrivance is part of the genre:
I've made my decision. I've had it. Now that I have wandered this far
I'm truly lost and never shall I see my beloved Akane again."
Royoga bowed his head and walked around the cornse of the old shop.
"OWWW! You jerk watch where you're going.... wait... it's you Royoga!"
The wandered looked at the figure on the grownd.
Akane lay slightly spralled on the street amid a pile of packages.
Well, you get the picture....
of course we can also use Kappa-chan's pokes and jibes as a jumping off
place for other prople...
I mean.. take his critical reviews.. write something and then loudly
proclaim that he's a goof when he cuts THAT story to ribbons...

I will make this challenge once again. The last time I did in regards
to
Kodachi, you ignored it.
Well, you told me that Kodachi was crazy because she does things which a
crazy person would do--not things that ONLY a crazy person would do. I
responded by pointing out that, in that case, Ranma is gay because he
does things a gay would do.
Actually, he's an aquatransexual trapped in a maetial artist's body :)
Again, I challenge you to point to behavior in the manga that would
DIRECTLY suggest that Kodachi is crazy--walking down the street
screaming "I am the Lizard King!" or something that ONLY a crazy person
would do.
I do that.
It doesn't make me crazy... but it does make some mad.
And yes, Nabiki is harmless; she is interested in an easy, material
life, and NOT in hurting other people. Ranma suffered because he tried
to fight Nabiki.
Maybe we should call her Cappo-chan?

I met a Lady in the Meads,
Full beautiful, a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light
And her eyes were wild.
