This is the "Hey, here's an idea, let's refine it and polish it until it shines" forum.
Yes, which includes
discussion of the idea.
The only actual discussion of the idea in this thread, you have responded to with 'no, shut up, we've decided already'.
If you've decided already, and have an actual fic in the works, then that's Fic C&C. Ideas is specifically
for discussion of the idea. Okay, so you don't require the fruits of that discussion? Next writer to feel a twitch in their muse on looking at this thread might.
I'll be blunt. I'm not going to abuse my status as forum moderator. I will take no moderation action in this thread other than that which is directly requested of me. I'm involved, that would be... inappropriate. I do not appreciate the aspersions you cast regarding my character.
However, the other, uninvolved forum moderators and admins have been informed, and will be taking a look from a neutral, rules-based perspective. We'll see what happens from there. Heck, maybe I'm the one who'll get shot down.
I will, again, extend my offer. There is enough of your take on Battle Fantasia written that it's perfectly suitable for Fic C&C, which
is exactly what you're looking for here - comments and discussion not on the basic idea, but on your particular take on it.
If you ask, I will split the thread, moving what you want to Fic C&C, and keeping the idea discussion here.
I do believe this is a fair solution that should be satisfactory to all parties - forum rules are obeyed, you get a thread devoted explicitly to your take on the idea, and Mitchell and whoever else gets an interest gets a thread devoted to discussing the idea as they see fit.
If it's not satisfactory, I'd like to know why, that a satisfactory solution
can be arranged.
There is no problem that cannot be solved through the proper application of immense levels of firepower.

Would you believe this is one of the more tame bits of dirt I've got for him?
