As I already mentioned before (and in the very quote you used), all of those episodes took place _*after_* "Wonderbolts Academy". As such, there was no double standard when Lightning was being reprimanded.

It seems you're contradicting yourself again.

I've already explained to you multiple times why Dash needed to stay close.

Obviously LD wasn't intentionally trying to injure Dash, but that's no excuse for ignoring's RD's concerns. Moreover, just because you weren't aware of a possible consequence of your actions doesn't mean you aren't responsible for that consequence. There's a reason negligence is a crime, after all.

You keep telling me it wasn't serious, but you never explain why.

I already explained to you why she was recording their times. It's the same reason why Spitfire didn't inform the cadets beforehand that they were going to be timed. Dash and Dust only found out after they had finished, and as such, there was no incentive other than Dust's impatience for them to speed through the course.

I don't see how that makes a difference; the cadets weren't training to become pegasi. My point still stands; tornadoes the territory of the weather ponies, not the Wonderbolts.

When? She didn't care at all that Rainbow's wing injured and hurting after the flag hunt, and after the tornado she suggested nearly killed the remane 5, she refused to take Dash's anger seriously.

Indeed it would have if she wasn't so self-centered.

Way to move the goalposts. Like your conjectures, I'm talking about that specific scene. I'm talking about possibly the weeks or months afterwards.

> she would have been grateful for a second chance.[/bq]

 
I'm not entirely sure about that. Given how highly she thinks of herself (and that she never apologized to Dash even after she was in trouble with Spitfire), she might not want to go back to the organization that punished her for wbehavior that she personally believed was going above and beyond.
