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.

EDIT: Actually, there is no rule forbiding COMMENTS with fan fiction. What we do not allow is to create a blog or a page containing a fanfiction case like the ones in the fanfiction wiki. So they still have as many right to comment as you to be offended

MaxShadows |  Talk  ♦  Blog  ♦  Contributions  23:27, February 22, 2017 (UTC) Oh, I would never ever ever deny anyone's right to theorize, absurd or not. Even if they post their fanfiction theories, they have every right to do it. I apologize if I've come across that they should be silenced or not allowed to do it. I'm just saying it annoys me and I feel it's equally within my rights to be able to vocalize agitation at the absurdity of some of the more out of left field theories. I also didn't mean that these posts should be FORCED onto the other Wiki. I just meant that I feel that they would be better suited there where people's creativity are more fully embraced rather than here where genuine speculation and reasonable theories seem to be more embraced.

I WILL take your advice to try to be more kind in the future to these posters as it was never my intention to come off cruel or as a bully. I was just trying to vocalize my frustrations with the persistent theme over all of World and all of MOTP so far of people claiming the victim is someone we've seen before when it's clearly a new person. It was a long pent up frustration and perhaps I let it all out too cruelly when I didn't intend to, but I was just trying to voice my opinion.

I apologize again for anyone I may have upset. It was never what I was trying to do.
