Seriously, that's just cringe-worthy. Were you a writer for CSI Miami or something?

It's not my fault you have a general hatred for puns. Also, why would you bring CSI Miamhay into this? Horseracio Caine has nothing to do with this, I think that's something every pony can agree on.

I vote that Derpy be an honorary member of the mane six. Anypony with me?

Eh, fair enough. I wouldn't really say I have a general hatred of puns, some can be quite good, but most puns do make me cringe, espcially pony-related ones, for some reason.

[Fabbrizio]

read my revised post.

[Banjo7J]

OK, now I just wanna hit you.

[Fabbrizio]

I deliberately used the most cringe-worthy puns in my arsenal, just to make my point. I don't see how anyone with such a strong hatred for puns could ever become a fan of this show in the first place.

[Banjo7J]

Whaddya mean? There aren't that many puns in this show. And most of the ones it does have are actually quite subtle, and well-done. Seriously, took me longer than it should have to realize Canterlot was a pun.

[Beefster]

I have a feeling the show is going to start getting A LOT more crap past the radar. I hope that doesn't end up ruining season 3.

(Although it may not be as good anyway with Lauren Faust and Rob Renzetti leaving after season 2 was written)

If it took you any time at all, it took you too long. They're anything but subtle. Although if you had that much trouble noticing Canterlot was a pun, you probably don't pick up on half the puns they use in the show.

Not trying to be a dick, but clearly my previous efforts to get you to lighten up and take it all in stride were ineffective.

[Beefster]

You probably don't notice the puns because they're really good puns, written in very naturally. The show only has a few cringe-worthy puns here and there.

While I will admit that I was kind of an idiot with Canterlot and completely forgot what a canter was, I think you're exaggerating a bit there. You also misunderstood what I meant by subtle. What I meant was, well, basically what Beefster said. The pun itself might be obvious, but if you don't get the pun, you won't notice that there was even a pun at all. And I will admit, I often don't pick up on a pun at first. Also, the reason your efforts to get me to lighten up were ineffective were because I already had lightened up. I mean, sure, your puns might have annoyed me a bit at first, but I can't stay mad or annoyed at you for much longer than half a minute. For you to really annoy me would take some serious effort.

Also, something I forgot to mention in my last post, is that I don't have a strong hatred of puns. In fact, my stance on puns is near-identical to my stance on shipping: I don't hate it, most of it is just badly done.

[Fabbrizio]

Well, in the spirit of getting past this upset, I feel this is necessary:

Yep, TOTALLY NOT wet-mane Snips. I have no clue what you're talking about.

I corrected your punctuation for you; you had a comma splice, which I fixed with a semicolon.

I find shipping hilarious, but in about the same way that I find the Westboro Baptist Church hilarious. (How could you possibly come up with something this ridiculous?)

I'm also bothered by all the people who think Rainbow Dash is a lesbian. For one: there aren't many stallions on camera so it's hard to tell; two: romance doesn't exist on the show (other than Spike/Rarity and Prince Blueblood); three: you're just stereotyping, silly. It really doesn't matter on a show that passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors. (no pun intended)

LesboDash is actually old news. We're at the point where everypony is a lesbian and OCCASIONALLY a stallion will be worthwhile.

I mean, look at the demographics among stories - Dash isn't even the most popular ship anymore. Octavia x Vinyl Scrach is.

EDIT: Hell, looking at FiMFiction.net, STRAIGHT DASH is more popular than LesboDash right now.
