It happened in February 2008.

Nope. Faye/Sven, at its best, was 297 posts.
EDIT: The secret is to click on the column heading of "replies".

--- Quote from: cannoli on 16 Nov 2010, 01:16 ---...I like Dora. As a character. But I would not want her as an RL friend (were such a thing possible). Reason being: I would figure out pretty quickly that being Dora's "friend" would mean being snarked at for something I didn't deserve, or mocked for something I held dear, and I would purposely distance myself from her as much as possible upon figuring that out, because "friends" like that, I do not need.

This was the only part of your post I took strong issue with, because I can't think of a single time Dora's done that to anyone. I can find a few dozen times Faye's done it, one time Marten did it to Tai and there was Angus making fun of Penelope's shirt, but I can't think of a time Dora's been snarky (snarky in contrast to vindictive or angry) or mocking. I think people seem to get that impression because it's the logical next step in most of her faults, but it seems to be where she draws the line.
The rest of your post I really loved because in a lot of ways it was very philosophically personal. I share your hangup about people using my computer or accessing it without my permission, although I tend to draw the line at saying I'd remove someone from my life altogether with no exceptions and no chance of reprieve. They would, however, strongly have to indicate that they'd seen why what they did was wrong and prove to me that it wouldn't happen again.
It kind of splits the issue into two separate dichotomies. Dora didn't commit any wrongdoing from a relationship perspective, she committed it from the perspective of any two people period. The progression of a relationship is essentially the destruction of the divisions between two people, in other words the closest two people can get is when they have no privacy when it comes to each other. However such steps must be taken willingly and Dora seemed to think she was entitled to push further than she should have. Respect for other people's personhood seems to be lacking from Dora's immediate reactions to things. While I see this as a serious problem, I don't judge her for it as it seems to be something she's come by honestly.

While I'm sure I had some sort of serious reply in the works regarding character development and plot progression, all I can seem to think about right now is Hannelore and Marten. Kudos for effectively invading my thought process, Arky.
