I never said anything derogatory about the character itself. We merely posted [before] our thoughs on why Ashley wouldn't be in Brawl. I challenge you to find ONE post of mine where I called Ashley stupid. You won't find one, because there isn't one.
Stop making stupid crap up.
How am I close-minded? Because I spammed one post a little farther up? That's hardly close-minded. And now that I know you're not like every other Ashley fan out there, then maybe we can have a decent argument.

[intelligent discussion] Why do you think Ashley deserves a spot in Brawl? [/intelligent discussion]
I feel as though your statements were close minded because a lot of them I read were "Nope! She won't be in! She has no chance! FAIL!". I don't know about you, but to me that seems pretty close minded. But I'm not going to argue that, that's a thing of the past.
Okay, first of all I would start by saying I believe Warioware has a good chance of getting a second rep. So why does the Warioware deserve the 2nd rep? First, let's look at what Nintendo did, making Wario represent his own series. This obviously means they want Waroware to stand alone as it's separate game, and get it's own attention. What better way to make it get it's own attention in Brawl than adding another character that has nothing to do with the Mario series what so ever and is only linked to Warioware?
The most likely character that would get picked would be Ashley. Believe it or not, this little girl is actually pretty popular Japan. She was on the Japanese prediction site even before her song came up, and with the song added she managed to get a spot on the home page, right near Ridley, Kyrstal, Diddy, and many other big characters, this should just give you a clue as to how popular she is there.
Also, let's take into consideration what she will add to the game. Quoting myself from a previous argument:
Now, the arguments as to what she would add to Brawl. As we all know, Brawl is lacking female characters, and also lacking spell casters. Ashley happens to be a female spell caster, ding ding ding, we have a winner! Ashley would fill in spots this game lacks and do it in a unique style. With the ability to have a pet (Red) and the amount of things she can do being a witch, I guarantee you her move set will be quite different from any one else. Diversity is what makes this game so great, the ability combine multiple characters with different fighting styles is what keeps our interest and makes it fun for everyone, because everyone can pick their own character that suits them.
And don't say a character being female does not increase the chances of getting in. Sakurai said he is aware of the PROBLEM with not enough female characters. If he thinks it's a problem, then he's probably looking for more female characters to add.
So really, why wouldn't Ashley get in this game? She tends to promote the Warioware series more, meaning more sales for Warioware, as well as adds a unique fighting style character. Importance? That didn't seem to hold back Ice climbers from making it in SSBM, and I don't feel as though that is a good enough reason to hold back Ashley, and neither does Sakurai, considering he said himself he doesn't want only popular/important characters in the game, he finds it boring.
Although often overlooked, in my opinion, Ashley is a good choice for Brawl.
