Thank you Bill. I appreciate your suppot and your encouragement. Unfortunately I just don't feel I can be comfortable here anymore. This site has been important to me for some years now and I believed I was contributing something worthwhile with my input regarding the Marvel UK universe, which was in itself inextricably linked with the Doctor Who strip for well over a decade. I felt I was part of a community of friends where I was accepted, which is rare for me. Apparently this is not the case. I handled the matter badly, i know that, but the individual I was interacting with was, I believe, being deliberately provocative, and I was both angry and hurt when Nick, as I saw it, took his side and spoke to me in a manner I either rightly or wrongly considered patronizing (I would also like to point out, in answer to the comments from Nick regarding the good Doctor's legitimacy as a Marvel character, that not only did the Doctor Who strip spawn several characters who have since become integrated into the Marvel Universe, but that the Doctor himself has directly interacted with characters from elsewhere in the Marvel Universe both in and outside his own strip on several occasions; he appears, for instance, in Death's Head Vol 1 8, and that alone should be enough to qualify him for entry here). Anyway, regardless: I know myself and my temperament, and I don't believe I can be here anymore. I certainly wouldn't trust myself to be civil to the individual I was arguing with, who I would undoubtedly cross paths with again. I am also basically very precious about my work and respond badly to having it deleted or considered irrelevant or worthless (probably a stupid attitude, but that's me), and even more badly to insinuations like the one put forth by the individual the other night that I would input material without knowing it was correct, or worse, knowing that it wasn't. In all the time I have been here, I have never, ever to my knowledge entered information the veracity of which I was uncertain of, and I was again angered that the person in question insinuated that I had without being challenged. As I said, this site has been very important to me, it's been a labour of love, but I just feel it's been soured for me now, for good. I just wanted to thank you for contacting me and for your kind comments. I appreciated it.
