Upon rewatching the episode, I will agree that tearing down Trixie's curtains was uncalled for.

I will agree to that and nothing else.

Because aside from this (pfft) "transgression", the (other) narcissistic Awesome McBlue pony, the (other other) narcissistic pony, and the remaining bland milksop of a "character", for all their faults, of which there are many, especially the latter two, none the least how narcissistic and boring to be around they are (respectively), are comepletely blameless.

Also, I'll take any Twilight during this time. Her status as the character who has to be in every episode to send the friendship letter has left her with a somewhat dry personality. I think the first episode to truly give her any flavor was Feeling Pinkie Keen, but until then, her episodes are all we got. I think Twilight should have been my favorite pony faster than Pinkie, especially with the strong start she gave the series with her own two episodes, but this problem is kind of holding her back. Although, what is up with that ending scene where she acts like she has some sort of authority. Especially with the rather unjustified punishment of cleaning up the mess, which for two chidlren, would be quite dangerous. I thought we established four episodes ago the uniquely forgiving nature of Ponyville?

The episode as whole just keeps getting better with retrospect. I don't think I'll ever like it as much as Griffon the Brush Off because Trixie's character is more one-notely designed for the moral than Gilda's, but with trash like No Second Prances, the fact that there was a time when the show was not hesitant to give Trixie exactly what she desevred is relaxing to think about.
