Line 9:
*** Of course Rarity as usual is [[Hypocrisy Nod|semi-admitent of her hypocrisy]] and treats their actions in a far more understanding tone than the others. One could also argue that the Cutie Marks ''casually asking for more stories to their face'' and showing they presumably hadn't learnt anything probably only fueled the others' temper more (and likely why they were suddenly met with a blissfully forgiving and kindly tone after apologizing and quitting their jobs ).
** The various ponies become angry at the Crusaders for not being considerate of others' feelings, and selfishly ignoring the pain others were in for their own benefit. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie has a bit of a breakdown and actually acknowledges she might have a ''problem'' with partying too much (and says it [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|in the style of someone admitting they have an addiction]]), and none of them cares because they're too focused on their own embarrassment.
** There's a hint of [[Take That, Audience!|"we were only writing what you wanted to read"]] in the apology
*** Not looking embarrassed doesn't mean [[Beneath the Mask|you aren't embarrassed]].
** Their reactions, as harsh as they were, were more than justified and excusable. Imagine yourself reading an article that is revealing a very personal thing of yours or it's telling something that is un-true. And now, everyone in town is reading that exact article. Now that everyone knows it, you can't walk in the streets without knowing that people know about the thing in the article and will judge you while remembering it. Let's face it, even if you are the most forgiving person on earth, you still would feel a little bit angry in front of the CMC for the embarrassment you have because of their story about you, even more so for the fact that you would carry the shame of it for a very long time. Honestly they should be grateful that Ponyville is not a place like, say, [[The Simpsons (animation)|Springfield]], or else they would've had everypony hunting after them with [[Torches and Pitchforks]].
** Hypocritical reactions to gossip like this are common in fiction. Also, Twilight was ''never'' into it to begin with.
** Also the mane six only became angry at the CMC once the gossip starts going from gossip to "making stuff up". The ''real'' Aesop is "don't lose your moral integrity".
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: A lot of fans assumed the paper the CMC will be printing their column under would be called [[Fandom Nod|Equestria Daily]], after the enormously popular, [[Lauren Faust]]-interviewing fan blog of the same name (which has been [[Fandom Nod|referenced]] by [[The Hub]]'s commercial ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43yodRbQrd4 There's a Pony For That]'' as well as the [[The Merch|shirts]] ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1777 EQD Twilight Library]'',{{Dead link}} ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1778 EQD University]'',{{Dead link}} and ''[http://www.welovefine.com/product.php?id_product=1780 EQD Pony Party]''{{Dead link}}). This looked less and less likely as more previews came out, and was eventually [[Jossed]] by a preview clip in which a colt calls it the ''Foal Free Press''.
** Rarity also identified the "real" local Ponyville paper by name: The Ponyville Express.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Silver Spoon, for once, didn't work with Diamond Tiara as a co-villain. Maybe they're drifting apart after the events of "Family Appreciation Day" and Silver Spoon isn't doing as much bullying, if any. Of course, this could easily be reversed if she goes back to her old self in season 3.
