If you would like to have a new discussion about this issue, please feel free to create a thread in the General Anime section where you outline the broader argument you wish to make.
Actually, my comment was a direct follow-up to this exchange:

I really hope this confusing and pointless stuff is cleared up in the next episode.

I thought this whole show was about Heart Seed teaching these kids that they need to break out of their shell and be more honest and trusting etc. That's how I see it anyway. So I don't really think all of this is pointless.
Of course you're free to make any arbitrary decision about what's relevant to a discussion about the series that you want, but this one seems like a stretch to me. A discussion comparing the behavior of two characters and the way it's interpreted is "off-topic"?
