1) Wow. Color me surprised. I had to wait a whole ten minutes to get this message. It’s like you ponies sit around and wait for a reason Boscov and I shouldn’t be together.

We can have disagreements, even in major philosophies. Just because I don’t believe in a greater good or evil doesn’t mean I’m going to wantonly kick sand in pony’s faces. Society still decides what’s good and I don’t want to harm anypony if I can help it.

2) I think you’re seeing what you want or expect to see. Like maybe you search for signs of something going wrong and try to compare it backward to past experiences when in actually, the bad was always there, in every fandom, right at its inception.

4) I’ve never been to Something Awful. Though considering how many times it’s been brought up, somepony evidently wishes I did.

5) Don’t worry about it. I try not to talk about my past much because I know ponies don’t want to hear about it anymore than I want to remember it.

6) That’s not really a fair comparison. An altruist and a sociopath would work better.

The answer is sort of complicated. “Yes, but…” “No, if…” In short, because altruism is more involving it’s rarer, and thus more highly prized and rewarded. But it’s like learning from mistakes. You don’t purposely make mistakes; it’s so easy to do they just happen. Sociopaths have a purpose, but no one asks for them because they’re already there and it’s the easier of the two to be.

All things in balance.

7) If it was sudden, just let them know what happened. That’s all you can do.

I would usually also say that I’m sorry, even if I wasn’t at fault.
