After coming back to this thread following being busy for most of yesterday - yikes.
I legitimately created this thread wanting a quirky and playful discussion about theories in the same vein as '2012 Apocalypse' or 'Ancient Aliens'. When I've been invited to watch Sasuke/ANW with other people, these kind of statements are rampant. In my past experience in person and on other forums, playful discussion like this has always been a sign of a healthy community. Maybe that's just my sense our humor, so please don't fault me for that.
There was no way in my mind that I would have anticipated this response to my thread. I understand that SMF has typically been much more strict/serious than most online communities, but obviously there is some other political stuff going on that to be honest, I was totally unaware of. I never had any intent to offend anyone, so I do deeply apologize for that. The specific example with Drew, it was a random example I came up with when thinking about when in Sasuke their had been course re-runs.
At this point, the thread has already derailed to a point that is likely past recovery, so I also agree that there is no reason to continue this. I'll contact an admin about having this thread locked or removed (I don't know if they delete threads here), as I don't want to make things any more tense or offend anyone further.
arsenette's response may seem strong, but that is because she is much more passionate about the show than almost anyone else here, and therefore it is heavily intertwined in her life and has significantly more consequences if something goes awry. I hold her opinions and experience in high regard, so I'm not going to contest or question any of her reasoning/justification as to why this thread should die. Arsenette, if you're reading this, I'll message you in the next day or so to try and clear the air. I do value your thoughts and I want us to return to being on good terms.
