Just blindly stabbing in the dark at someone who looks vaguely similar to the victim, but nowhere near actually close to what they look like is absurd. You're right that I could ignore the comments, but it gets hard when people respond to them as if they have any validity.

I felt the exact same way about people randomly creating fanfiction and masking it as "predictions" of what would happen in each case. That's not speculation, that's just fiction and belongs on the fanfiction part of this wiki.

In short, speculation is fun, blind theories that equate to fanfiction are not.

Regardless of the theory's grade of validity, they are fine as long as they do not push their opinions down other people's throats. Just defending a theory is not doing that.

About what you say about fanfiction, well... technically our rules say it should be posted in the fanfiction wiki (it is another wiki, by the way). However, I think the best thing you can do is either report it to one of us or sound more kind when speaking to a fanfiction-posting user.
