Does that change the fact that the initial use was good?

[His rebuttal is quick, calm. As soon as the words leave his lips, he seems to second-guess himself. It's really not his place to be force-feeding an opinion.]

However, I am ignorant to the life you've led. You can easily dismiss me by saying that I know nothing, and I would be forced to agree.

...I guess not.

[Technically, Shang Qinghua is right, even if Newt's not sure that it matters. It certainly doesn't feel like it matters now.]

I'm not gonna dismiss you, dude. Just because you don't know the full scope doesn't mean your insight isn't valuable.

Not to mention it's not like I've got a lot of room to be turning people away at this point. I burned a lot of bridges today.

You must have done what you did while knowing that this might happen. Were you really so unprepared? You were rather calm when Ray exposed you . . .

[arockstar]

Mm. I did anticipate this, that's true, but my reaction to Ray... I didn't want to give them the satisfaction.

[It's petty, but, well. It is what it is.]

If I'm going to go down, it's going to be on my terms. Ray and that little bitch Senri didn't one-up me, although I'm sure they'll parade around like they have.

[He pauses, the beginnings of an amused expression passing his face before he adopts a wry smile.]

You really don't like them, do you?

[arockstar]

I really don't, but "like" has nothing to do with it. This is a competition. Honestly, I don't care for most of the people here.
