Please don't post such off-topic statements in forum threads. Next time, you could simply message the person directly (just click on their name). Thank you.

Also... personally, I take issue with precisely the opposite situation. I don't care who says they thought of it first. But when people drop by and drop off their speculation without reading anything that has been laid down before, that gets my goat (I'm not sure what that actually means, but). Basically, I see anons drop in and plant their ideas in the comments section: "Cinder has glass slippers. She must be Cinderella." "Roman Torchwick looks like that guy from Clockwork Orange." "Penny is a robot. I think she's Pinocchio." And this is sometimes months after those theories have become widespread or even officiated via RT/Monty confirmation. By not reading through the wiki for information on this stuff, it makes it seem like these anons are trying to credit themselves with first discovering these connections despite the fact that they are so late to the game, they don't even warrant attention. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if an anon does not have the capacity to stumble upon connections we haven't made yet. It's just that they don't bother to look before they leap and they end up sounding like, "Derp, I think Ruby is based on Little Red Riding Hood. The proof is in the hood. Derp."
