Thanks for answering the questions. This isn't my blog, by the way.

Well, it's absolutely no problem to discuss the changes in regard to this retelling of the legends. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if anyone doesn't like that the most common legends we all know were changed that way, it's totally fine.

However, in your last response you insulted an actress once again, as a matter of fact, three times in just one sentence by insulting her skills and talents, her charisma and the way she looks. The only reason why I didn't delete this is because I asked for your opinion about the changes.

We have come to agree on this wiki a long time ago already that offending/insulting real people - users here or members of the official Merlin-team alike - is against the wiki policy. I'm sure you've seen this in the responses to other people's comments. The very fact that a celebrity is known by the public doesn't mean that they can be offended by fans/users. The moment we are talking about people in real life, everyone should refrain from offending and insulting them because such things are far beyond a mere personal opinion. It's humiliating and rude. Not to mention that endless fights about who is pretty/handsome and who is not might follow such statements.

You are free to discuss what you don't like or like about the show in the forum or in a blog post (if you create an account). However, insults of and attacks towards real people will be deleted.

As for the changes and legends, the Arthurian legend is not history. Every story about it is only fiction, especially since the legends were changed over the centuries multiple times, whether there was a king on which the legends are based on or not.
