Mr. Death:

Right, people shouldn't lack such respect. Let's take a look at your post.
Do you call this respectful?
"Sorry your perspective is too limiting to see anything not there directly. Must suck for you trying to play clue. Out of your element, no?"
That sounds a lot like you're directly insulting my intelligence, just because I disagree with you.
"I just refuse to allow you to shit on it based solely on your disagreeing."
And that sounds a lot like you're dismissing my arguments (and, I note, not actually answering half the questions in my post).
The one being disrespectful is you.
I can disagree with any theory I want. You apparently really want there to be a dragon. Fine. But there still exists no evidence of a Dragon. There still exists no acknowledgement by anyone involved of even the possibility of a Dragon, including someone who gives a full infodump about the site, its significance, and what Harry can expect to find there. There still exists no narrative gain in putting a Dragon there and not using him.
Nobody has ever attributed any of the Red Court's power to any sort of Dragon. It's just plain not something that has any support in the books.
I have explained my reasoning, clearly. You are the one who keeps resorting to insulting me in an attempt to undermine or shame me into acquiescing.

Actually if you look, you started it and I just played ball, no? your habitual in it btw, just couple weeks ago calling me childish in my remarks... which did I do to earn that? Cause I can point back to that which you insist on doing time and again in the same situation for the same reason. and yea, you can expect me to jab back within reason.
You 'misunderstand', claim relevant parallels are illrelevent, ignore any point I make to redirect to non linear opinion laced arguments that you expect me to pick apart apparently.
I'm stating an idea, your the one insisting on replying, continuously in a I wanna win additude and saying such an idea is impossible based solely upon your own preponderance of the evidence. Your known for it and i'm not always in the fray to be the common denominator here >:(
Which btw if you notice, I don't try to 'win' a theory unless you count reading it later in the books, I just keep the game in play.
Sorry if you don't like me, but feel entirely free to not quote/respond to me if I cause such duress :( your entirely enabled to ignore my existence. Gosh knows others in life have lol.

This thread is getting less theory and more personal.
Mr. Death:
Yes, Jonas, there wasn't anything in that post about this discussion. You seem intent on just attacking me personally now. Please stop.

Thanks for bickering like children, folks! The "when will I decide that the forum is no longer worth the trouble when folks can just bicker with each other on other social media instead" counter has ticked up by one.
