"Wonderbolts Academy" all but blows your first point out of the water. If RD was comfortable enough with going to Spitﬁre about her displeasure over being a wingpony, then why wouldn‘t she be comfortable about talking to her about the nickname?"

No, I still think my point is valid. Apart from the obvious answer I could give (two different writers and story editors for both episodes respectively), I'll say this:

Being a wingpony isn't exactly something too personal to talk about; but how many people you can go to with your childhood problems? Only with close friends, and I don't see Spitfire as a close friend - they're still colleagues, and RD is of a lower rank in the group.

"RD could've easily dealt with an embarrassing nickname, but she was upset with that particular nickname because of her history and emotional attachment to it."

I don't think she could have dealt with it. Rainbow has a massive ego, and those are usually the most vulnerable. If they aren't backed up by a thick skin, they take any slam against their self-worth very personally. And one of the best solutions against such thing would be loosening the emotional attachement to this trauma and instead living in the present.

RD at the end choose to live in the present.

I've written a whole review about it, if you want to check it out: http://fermin-tenava.deviantart.com/art/MLP-Review-Newbie-Dash-S6-E7-610726603
