So, to be clear, was there a thread on the wiki about the decision making, or was that decided on Discord? I'm just asking to be clear on when this was discussed, decided upon, and ratified. If there is a thread I can read, I'd like to be pointed to it. Just asking since we all agreed that Discord wasn't a place to make editorial decisions.

That said, I will admit that I haven't read past Extinction, while you are making compelling arguments, please cite the comics in question. The only person who has done that is MysteryScooby. I can't verify and fact check unless you point out what comics you're talking about.

I'd love to accept things at face value, but I think we need all eyes on the issue. No offence to anyone, I don't want to make this a "I know more about such-and-such than you" I am looking to verify facts.

And yes we can, as ADour puts it "accept the writer's intention" position, but we learned from 2015 Secret Wars that's not always a guarenteee (Vis-a-vie Brevoorts objection to Susan Storm in the Marvel NOW handbook post secret wars)

More to the point, this is a similar debate as Spider-Man 2099 and the multitue of Meistros. In all of those cases, I've pointed out very valid counter points in the assumption that that 2099 is this 2099 and that Maestro is this Maestro by pointing out very poignent plot issues to explain it.

Look, all I am saying is give me specific references. Citations. Issue numbers outside of Extinction that support the claims that ALSO negate any previous establishment of known facts. Present a good case. All you have given me is that you all agree on points you haven't made apparent. You havent given me a basis where I feel comfortable to accept it.

To the point, again, and I am not saying this in a "I know more than you do", I am saying this in I have seen contrary to accepting things at face value, or what the writer intended, or what the editor intended.

Look, I wasn't part of the discussion, but I also pointed out the incongruities of other important things (Again, Spider-Man 2099 and Maestro).

I guess a finer point is, a few of you harp on me about making unilateral decisions about design and style. Here we are on an issue of continuity and I have to accept it based on less than half of the admin/mod sect?

Again, not saying you're wrong, but give me a chance to look at your evidence and peer review. The majority of you go on about how we need to discuss things, I am trying to understand the logic. So discuss it with me.
