Fair points Fimber, what you're not understanding is that I don't intend to particularly censor. I will not tyranically start deleting and banning someone if they disagree.

What I do suggest though is another Wiki, maybe Merlin Opinions or so forth, where we can separate the Wiki with the controversy. Attention has, in a recent trend, diverted more from articles to debating with others. An Opinions Wiki could even get more publicity than this one (the point that it is purely for "Opinions" so it's a central place to look), so there is a fair line between opinions and neutral information. Because I'm sure many people come on here just to read about the previous episode, they've made up their mind whether they like it or not, then they see a blog post saying it's an abomination! They may then decide to steer away from here! Like I said, I'm doing my job and I don't think I'm doing a bad job, I haven't really done anything controversial on here, and any bad choices I've made have been thoroughly at the discretion of questioning. I always take in other people's opinions and I would not be here if it were a dictatorship.

Since there don't seem to be any other forums or discussion boards or communities as intuitive and instant (none others allow anon-commenting) as this one across the web, I still think it should be kept to a Wiki context.

But I'll think about that in the later future, depending on what happens. The negativity could lessen.

Concluding, I don't think this is an altar where we praise the Merlin Gods. If you read all my comments very carefully, you can see I am not 100% biased for the show and agreeing to all the things that are shown in the episodes, despite what some people may judge. But I do believe in being respectable and giving people space to make up their own decisions, which once again is why separating could be a good idea. They can have a choice whether they view people's opinions or not (consider blog posts are kind of on the home page and it is right up in people's faces). Surely you agree with me in that aspect to some extent.

Thank you!
