:Author [[A. Bertram Chandler]] attends a match of the [[All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling]] league. If this hadn't happened, there would be no ''[[Dirty Pair]]''<ref>According to [[w:Dirty Pair|Wikipedia]], Chandler's attendance at that match directly resulted in the creation of ''[[Dirty Pair]]''.</ref> Without ''Dirty Pair'' there would have been no ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', and thus no [[TV Tropes]] page for it maintained by [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]], and thus no notice of that page by [[User:Labster]], and thus no visit by Labster to Looney Toon's forums, and thus no discovery that other Tropers were also annoyed by the then-current state of affairs at TV Tropes, and finally no desire to [[Start My Own|Start Our Own]]. It sounds like [[Insane Troll Logic]], but it's true.

:The new owners of TVT actually consult a lawyer about the illegal rights seizure implemented by Fighteer, discover the legal hole they've been in for a year and a half, and reverse course on user copyrights so dramatically that they leave skidmarks.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20150326011500/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/WelcomeToTVTropes Wayback Machine copy of "Welcome to TV Tropes" page, 26 March 2015].</ref> Despite having done something that would have gotten him fired in any professional context, Fighteer remains a member of the TVT staff.
