Turquoise Owl added it back again. Does it still count as an edit war now that the other party has been suspended?

^ Yes, because they still need to make an effort to discuss with anyone.

Wait, I thought they were suspended. How did they add it again?

I believe only Duchess Snow was suspended for the Edit War. Turquiose Owl is still at it, apparently.

Oh, I misread it. My bad.

Regardless, Turquiose Owl is edit warring, too. Should something be done about them, too?

Yes, I think that was a mistake to not suspend them as well. They are both edit-warring, and both will be having a talk about how to resolve disagreements.

OK, so, I was just wondering how to resolve this, well, conflict.

I, personally, think the example should go on there. DuchessSnow thinks it's "illogical" and shouldn't. So what does everyone here think about it? Stay, go, or (possibly) stay with added commentary?

do you hear the drums?

That depends on what the example actually is.

Could you please put it here for courtesy?

the example:

  • Did [Pink Diamond] not realize that Spinel would be Literal-Minded enough to stay in the garden for millennia, and assume that she would eventually give up and leave on her own?

i think it can stay. i don't think it's a likely interpretation; one of the defining features of Pink Diamond's character is that she doesn't think about how her actions affect those who follow her. but it's possible, and that's good enough for Alternative Character Interpretation.

^ I agree, if a character's intentions are hazy and that leaves room for the audience to interpret in different ways, then it is indeed Alternative Character Interpretation.
