You have every right to be here and talk about whatever you want.
I will say you've gotten vindication directly from Larry Hama. For your own peace of mind, appreciate that more, and pay less heed to the trolling remarks of others. Very few of us will ever see our head canon absorbed into official canon.

I say stay!!! I respect you perseverance. I also like Zandar. One thing. When I think of you and your pursuit I do find myself wondering when you started liking Gi Joe? Was it in 1986? Are you only a fan of the twins? Did you only play with those two characters. I only ask because I don?t recall you ever talking about anything else.

You've already established yourself as an integral part of this community! Why leave now when you have so much more to offer here? And also deprive the ones trolling your valuable contribution of their non sustainable thrill-seeking behavior.
I say stay. |

Twins you have no choice but to stay. LNC members are not given the option of leaving. There I settled it. You are in this for life when you joined the LNC.
Who cares about Wikipedia? Anyone can change that crap anytime for no reason at all. That is why they say in college to never use Wikipedia as an actual source. Who cares what people here say on the boards? There will always be people who like you, always be people who hate you...just comes with the territory of posting in a forum. Like Sbarty and Ax conveyed, turn your attention to your friends and like minded individuals, not the keyboard bullies.

I have to admit that I am a bit perplexed about how much you care about these characters. I've never cared that much about fictional characters and the concept seems strange to me, even though I know you are far from the only person who feels this way about fictional characters and you are definitely not as extreme about it as I've read about other people being.
I think your threads and comments are harmless, in the long run, so I don't think you should leave, nor should anyone be making you feel like you should.

Lots of people here don't like me. They don't like my posts. They don't like that my favourite characters are twins when they didn't grow up thinking of them that way so they have to stomp on twenty years of bringing that aspect of those characters out of obscurity. If it's going away at the hands of this person, should I leave the forum or stay? I just wanted to have a legacy in GI Joe keeping my favourite part of my favourite characters official.
This is the internet, everyone here has an opinion and the people with the most negative ones tend to be the loudest. For any person that's given you grief there are probably 3 others that are totally fine with you, your posts, thoughts and opinions. On top of that the makeup of the tank has changed drastically over the years, people have come and gone and so it isn't always the same community, so when you start to think 'people here don't like you' realize it's not a singular entity. You may have opinions that are different than the norm and that is okay. (I love slaughter's marauder's bbq, and based on internet opinion I'm trash for that, it's okay I'll live) We all have a passion for GI joe and what it brought to our lives and that is why we are here, to share that with others. Don't let anyone here or in life bully you and take away something you love, life is too short for that. |

I've got your back. I also like that figure.

Stay, Zander is a great figure, and most here wouldn’t have to have an arm twisted to have the twins on display on one of their shelves.

I think you already know that I'm one of those fiercely #teamzandar folks that Sbarty mentioned and I always find your threads to be enjoyable at best or benign at worst. But I'm not going to vote in or rate this one DT. Stay, leave, take a little break... please do whatever is best for your mental health. Only you can know the answer to that.
If you can read through his consistently curmudgeonly delivery, I do think ShadowNinja raised one helpful point that you might give a bit of thought to (in fact you may already be applying it). I for one find this place to be a lot more enjoyable when folks are asking questions of one another, challenging, listening to, and learning from each other. That doesn't mean stop being passionate about the things that you care about the most, but you may find this place to be a little less discouraging by engaging in other people's passions a little more (like I've seen you do in threads about Metal-Head and Cobra-La). Beyond that, trolls are trolls and the internet is full of them. Don't give 'em any more power than they deserve.

You should only leave if YOU want to or feel it would be better for your health (mental, physical, or emotional). If people don't like your posts they can ignore them. You're not hurting anyone with your particular obsession.
We all sit around here arguing minutiae of a franchise built to sell little plastic men (and occasionally women) to preteens. We probably put more thought and effort into those details than pretty much any GI Joe writer ever has (even Hama). Basically, we don't have much room to talk when you really boil it down. |
