Agree to disagree, huh? It's probably for the best.

The tension was getting unnecessarily high between us over a simple theory. For what it's worth, it is nice to hear that you appreciate some of my other theories. I also appreciate your mostly logical approach when you do disagree, although in this case we probably both took it a bit too far.

To be honest, poison firebending would probably be unlikely to appear in a kids show (even if that show will be more mature in some ways) especially the next series. Then again, I could have sworn it was too much of a kids show for bloodbending and somehow they put that in the first show more than once. So while it's unlikely, it is possible even if you will never agree with it. And of course possible is a far cry away from happening on the show. There was no direct canon evidence pointing to a poison firebending technique to date, but there was also no canon evidence against it either. So it was all built off of several different theories based on what was proven possible to things that have yet to be proven impossible (and that I deemed likely possible based on what was proven possible using logic and science). Perhaps that was where much of the confusion was formed. It was not proven impossible yet, so I tried to supply evidence that supported it only to clearly wind up confusing you. But I still only really argued one of those theories with you, and even just that one ended in agreeing to disagree.

It may prove to be impossible in time, therefore proving you were right. However, that is what they said about metalbending and look where we are now. After season one we wouldn't have thought metalbending to be possible either. But I doubt we will see poison firebending in LOK at all, particularly in the first two seasons. If they make a show or season after that, I may send a message to the creators asking their opinion on the matter, as that is the only true way to get final confirmation. I may also become lazy and not bother.

But the bottom line is that this starting comment originally was supposed to give ideas on possible sub abilities for airbenders, as I couldn't think of any beyond implied soundbending and stuff that probably related to air density control. I was hoping for at least two clear possibilities besides soundbending. Somehow it turned into an argument on poison firebending instead. This was not only in the wrong section, but it completely destroyed the original discussion topic I had created. Again, it also got a bit out of hand. So I'm glad we can at least end that now by agreeing to disagree.
