maybe the reason for the other ponies harshness is that at first the CMC aren't apologising - they are demanding more stories. if they did that to me I'd want to dump rainwater on them too.

There's another good reason why the ponies don't want to talk to them: most of this hurtful gossip originated from a single photo or throwaway remark that was then taken grossly out of context and used to humiliate. the photo that they used to justify their libel about twilight being a snob was likely taken through the window and completely without her knowledge. is it any wonder she wants to keep them well away from her home (and her window) with a forcefield? bear in mind that RD could well have warned her friends that gabby gums had not yet quit after she heard them demanding another story from her.

As for diamond tiara, it is made clear that cheerilee is on her back for all the controversy surrounding gabby gums but DT skillfully talks her way out of it each time. At the end of the episode, it's quite possible that a photo gets taken of her covered with ink from the printing press and that is used to humiliate her and give her her comeuppance. after that embarrasment, and after losing her position as editor-in-chief, she won't really be in a position to publish those photos of the CMC
