...Upon further research, I've decided to cancel the lobby. There are thousands of links to this page, and over ten thousand offsite visitors to the page; that translates to too much buzz to rename the trope safely.
That's me.
would real life court cases which are just word vs word fir here? (either as general mention or with specifics)

Just to describe this a little better: court cases in general. The prosecution and defense both present their own versions of the issue at hand, implicating or vindicating the defendant respectively, and it’s up to the judge / jury to decide which version is more believable.
That's me.
I'm to inept to attempt to add this example myself: Anne Rice does this with Interview With a Vampire and The Vampire Lestat.

That would be an Zero-Context Example.

Is there a possibility of Real Life examples? I'm sure marriage counselors see it all the time, as each spouse thinks they're the one being manipulated or controlled by the other.
Hello. I'm newly known here, and I am just learning how to do these things. If anyone has noticed a long list of my edits because I kept goofing up with typos and such, I can explain. I commented in my edit reasons that if there is not a Preview Changes feature, there should be.
I have since located the Preview button on the edit screen. (blush) I apologize for the annoying repetitive editing. In my defense, I have peripheral vision problems, and the Preview button is located in the lower left corner of the monitor, where my peripheral vision happens to be weakest. Well, now I know.

Okey, I read "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon_effect
" and I bit confuse. What the different with Rashomon Style. And what happen to Wikipedia?
This appears to not be a strong example:
- Watanagashi-hen is one side of the arc, Meakashi-hen is the other.
- Actually, the arcs are different (this is made more clear in the games), but the things that happened in Watanagashi-hen are repeating themselves in Meakashi-hen.
I’m lobbying for a change in trope name. The current name relies on the reader knowing what “Rashomon” is, and I doubt it’s a term most people would recognize (I didn’t know of it myself until just today, when I found it by chance in a book about old movies; only by extension did I find the trope page).
My suggestion for an alternative name would be “Twice Told Tale”, after the Garfield and Friends episode involving this trope. It’s much more descriptive and intuitive, and alliterates to boot.
