Well, just saw the episode with Gilda. I don’t think I ever saw her when she came to Ponyville. Too bad she was such a jerk, but…
I think pranks were such problem because Gilda sees pranks and use them differently than Pinkie or Rainbow. Those two ponies sees pranks as fun for both sides of prank, but Gilda sees pranks as something what is fun for prankster at somebody expense. That why she reacted during party. She saw this as hostile behavior.
Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.
Like most of the early episodes, that one jumped back and forth from being good to being kind of weak. But it was fun enough some of the time to be watchable. I remember still not being at all sure I was going to keep watching when I first saw it, and I had already decided I hated Pinkie, but this episode is the first time I decided she wasn't automatically despicable. I was willing to watch it just for Dash at the time. Welp, on to the next one.

Yeah, I'm with Death. Pinkie and Dash see pranks as something to laugh off, while Gilda uses them to assert social dominance (I figure power dynamics play a huge role in gryphon society). She's used to being the biggest, baddest and the bitch on top of the pile, and the pranks were direct slaps in the face to that idea, as far as she cared.
Can you think inside the chimney?
Gilda saw the pranking as a form of revenge and/or torment against others that she can get away with as it does not physical harm the target. That's my theory on why she likes to prank others but is highly hostile when its done upon her.

There are three constants in the universe: creation, destruction, and Fate. Guess which one am I? - Id the Imp

She strikes me as just generic jerk and bully. Only cool thing about her is fact that she is Griffon.

Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool.
Hey, you know how you guys were all talking about Hoofington earlier? Trixie just mentioned it, it's where she supposedly vanquished the Ursa Major.

I'm going to play Mass Effect (as AJ number one fan). I hope I reach my favorite conservation today.
