Why doesnt the quote thing work the same way when I do it as when you guys do it ????
I don’t know; the command string for a quote is clearly showing up in your post but not being interpreted for some reason. Have you tried any of the other functions that insert formatting commands, like Bold, Italic, or Underline? Do they have the same problem?
“testing testing!”

All is good and well now. Thank you 🙂@PriceofMagic wrote:
There was quite a noticeable reaction of general horror when Rumple killed Milah in the Crocodile. Fair enough. Killing your ex-wife in a fit of anger is really, really bad. Now, I wasn’t part of the online fandom when “Forbidden Fruit” came out, but retrospectively, it doesn’t seem like there was near the amount of horror when Regina emotionally manipulated the genie to murder Leopold. In fact, (and I don’t agree with this at all), quite a few Evil Regals seemed to cheer her on as the tragic, wronged woman who killed her chauvinist pig of a husband..
To me, the cruelest murder in the entire show so far was Regina killing her father. The second episode.The reason is that Henry sr. was a good man, tried to be a good father.. he didn’t deserve to be killed. Yep, I know, she needed the heart of the thing she loved more… and that is the why. When Rumplestiltskin chose power over Belle, he sent her away, but he didn’t hurt her. and even then, he was ready to accept her back in his castle “”if she needed a home”. Regina, who was not cursed, didn’t hesitate in killing her father. Ok, yeah, she was sad afterwards but still… I think it says a lot of their personalyties.
I don’t mean by this that Leopold or Milah do deserve to die, but at least you can see that their murders were the overreaction to something:
Regina’s character was embittered due to her unhappy marriage. It is not an excuse… in our world. In our western world, where we can finnish a relationship without consequences. I can understand that in a medieval-fantasy context, killing your husband could be an option. Just a matter of despair.
Regarding Rumplestiltskin killing Milah… i’m sorry, I cheer him. I agree with that of him being abused by Milah. It is neither an excuse to kill no one, it is an overreaction, ok… but you can at least sympathize with him in a way. -well, at least, I can- A matter of extreme “my patience has run out.” coming from a person with power enough to kill you with a gesture of his hand.
Hmm, I’m going to give a very generic, predictable answer to this thread. I think Rumpel and Regina are on equal playing field when it comes to their evil deeds. They’ve both caused death and destruction, they’ve both manipulated innocents, and they both destroyed the Enchanted Forest. Having said that, I highly doubt the writers are just going to end their story arc with “and then they died a horrible, horrible death.” They will find redemption, they will start to make changes for their loved ones, and I really do believe they’ll find their happy ending.
But in the end, I don’t think this debate will matter considering Cora is on her way to Storybrooke. Even though Rumpel taught her everything she knows, at least Rumpel has shown genuine love and concern towards Baelfire, Belle and Henry. I’m almost certain Cora is on her to Storybrooke so that she can kill Regina for pushing her through the looking glass. I highly doubt Rumpel or Regina would kill their own children for running away from them. That’s the difference between Rumpel, Regina and Cora. Rumpel and Regina actually have people in their lives that they actually love and are trying to become better people for. Cora, on the other hand, is on a revenge mission against her own flesh and blood.
So, my vote is going to towards Cora for the most evil character on Once Upon a Time.

Rumple may have taught Cora everything she knows but did he teach her everything he knows.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI think Rumple is worse than Regina because when Regina was faced with the ultimate choice…Henry…or the curse…her power and control etc…she chose Henry and did the right thing. When Rumple was faced with the ultimate choice…he chose his magic, power and control and let Baelfire be sucked into the vortex alone. Having said that…I think that Cora is going to be worse than both of them because she was consistently abusive to her daughter. Rumple was faced with a split second decision and made the wrong one….Cora made it a lifestyle.
True, but earlier when Regina was faced with the ultimate choice “revenge on everybody vs. kill father” she very intentionally chose revenge and did the wrong thing. I think that both of them have done enough bad things that trying to figure out a body count for each individual is a poor way to figure out who is worse.
Additionally, I’m getting tired of the mudslinging going on in the fandom between fans of each of them. (There seems to be a bit more coming from Evil Regals, but that could just be because they hit all of my pet peeves). Thankfully, there’s none of that going on here. Love you guys!

I think your right in comparing this choice. Rumple- son or power vs. Regina- son or power. I think Rumple chose power because he was scared. But I dont think it makes him worse. Its not important who is worse then the other. I think its more important if either can change or not.
About Cora I think what she did also comes down to her being scared of loosing her daughter. But we will probably get more on that story in the next few episodes.
