Salutations. You already know why I'm here, and of the majority of what I'm going to say. However, I'd like for you to read through a quote from your fellow sysop, Shadowdemon137. The formatting has been slightly modified to fit on the page, but the text has remained untouched:

"Bakers Category

Since there is very few characters that are bakers the thought of that category being useless came to mind. The way I see it, it is completely useless but yeah, just expressing my opinion. The Americanized Brony03:59, February 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's the same thing with Category:Musicians and Category:Dragons. There are few of them, but it's still a defining category, just like Bakers is.

There isn't much that I can say to elaborate what he or she has said, as they've summed it up quite well already. Now before we get into another shouting match about the semantics of the word 'defining', keep in mind that all of the characters I've added the athlete tag to have demonstrated a physical prowess that far exceeds that of their peers. AJ can participate in a marathon and still have spare energy to race with Dash afterwards, the Wonderbolts out-perform the other Pegasi sans Dash repeatedly, etc. For canon characters with consistent personalities, these are defining attributes. I've made a list of instances in which this is made clear in the show for the forum post, which would have already gone up if you hadn't temporarily banned me under false accusations. In any case, I can add the list of episodes organized by pony and the time stamp here if you wish.

Also, here is another quote that I felt was relevant to our debate:

"My category

What do you mean a consensus? Whats wrong with my catergory? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyurem147 (talk • contribs)


 * The problem is that it's not a category we usually use, so you would have to get a consensus with the community to try and add that category.

This is exactly what I would have done if you hadn't acted irrationally and banned me--the discussion would be open to the public forum for any interested party to express their views on the subject, and that would have been the end of it. When I said that I wanted your own personal counter-argument on the matter, your own beliefs as to why a consistently recurring trait is "unnecessary", I wasn't speaking in uncertain terms when I used the word "your". You still haven't presented them. Regardless though, once my ban is up I'll open the thread, provided that real life doesn't muddle things for a few days. I will make my case, the community will cast it's vote, and I'll be relived to have nothing more to do with you.

One last thing: please do not drag Shadowdemon into this schism between us. They have nothing to do with any of this whatsoever, and I have merely provided their quotes because they illustrate that the legitimacy of a category is not measured by the number of pages it contains. You can accuse me of piggybacking off of their words if you like, but I have already stated these thoughts in my own words before, as can be seen by anyone on my talk page.(Compasionatecannibal (talk) 00:47, June 2, 2014 (UTC))
