Let us pretend that I didn't discuss with Ed "...technically, there should be three Rachel pages. In terms of actual beings, Rachel went into the timestream and slit into two different people. Neither of them are the original Earth-811 version, but both are new Earth-811 beings. So, we should have an Earth-811 page (that ends when she went into the timestream), a new Mother Askani Earth-811 page (that starts after she went into the timestream), and a new Rachel Grey Earth-811 (that starts after she went into the timestream). ...".

He didn't respond "...from the point of the timelines, you may be right...".

Then, I didn't say "...You're probably confused because the one at the school has the name "Rachel Summers (Earth-811)". I honestly don't know what else to call her, but she is not the original Rachel." "If we went by your logic, we would have to create a new page for the Rachel at the school and, on Mother Askani Rachel and Rachel Grey Rachel, say that their history is the same as Rachel Summers (Earth-811), until she went into the timestream. I figure that would be too confusing and, like I said, I don't know what to call the new Rachel."

He never retorted "BTW, I'm not sure, they are not the original character - from my point of view, they're both the original character." "I'm not arguing for either way, two or three pages is both fine by me. But I do want one (or two, in case we're going with three) of the pages to be "relieved" of duplicate information...".

It would seem to me that we were arguing/discussing two different points and maybe I cared more about one subject, while he was interested in the other, but that doesn't meant that both topics weren't discussed.

But, for the sake of time and humility, we are going to pretend that discussion NEVER occurred. NOW, can we discuss it? Make your discussion, Brad. Argue why we don't NEED to consider the new Rachel a new character. Tell me why considering her a separate character, like Mother Askani, isn't needed.
