So the other night a couple of people took things a bit far in the March Madness favorite pony tournament by disparaging the ponies they didn't vote for with statements like "*insert ponies name here* sucks" and apparently some people thought Nazi comparisons were a good idea for Celestia knows what reason and people taking this whole thing in general more seriously than they should. A little fanboying is fun and is pretty much expected, but this isn't a matter of life and death and nobody should treat it as such. The fact is I like all the ponies that are left in the running even if I do like Applejack more than the others. I have supported AJ and will continue to support her but the fact is even if AJ loses I still know that Applejack is awesome.

While I am glad things have calmed down since then the "solution" to me is a load of bull. I know Docxfizzle's heart is in the right place but making it to where the previous round never happened and making the final round a 4 way where votes for one pony only count half (if I am understanding correctly) and voting for all of them counts as a tad more is a huge overreaction that will do nothing to discourage flamers or trolls and is actually unfair to all the people who voted in that round by punishing everyone because of the actions of a few.
