It's fine Dave, just forget it. They're not going to listen to me anyway. But I will try to make this last point as clear as I can.

It's not that I don't get MK's work, I am not averse to it because it's weird, I am averse to it because it contradicts the spirit of the Elder Scrolls as a whole, and it feels like Kirkbride is trying to be the God of this universe by dictating everything that happens within it by forcing his stories down our throats. Sure, his works may very well be true, but there is still a chance its not, no matter how small it may seem to you. You have presented evidence for me, I have countered it with reasoning and objective, even if you don't necessarily think I did. You mistake me Dovasbrom, for thinking books are unreliable. I am merely pointing out that they were written by mortals. There is always a chance they could be flawed. With this in mind, no theory should be taken as proven until we have all the answers we need. Some require little, I require more. It doesn't matter if the commentaries are notes from the Xarxes, it was still written by an insane guy, and it has been a fact since time immemorial that Heretics tend to go overboard with their beliefs. Who is to say Cameran's beliefs didn't affect his views when writing the Commentaries. How would you know that wasn't the case Dovasbrom? Do I have to bring up the requirement of proof again? I thought you would have learned by now that assumptions like this don't earn any ground with me. In fact, it seems likely his beliefs would have affected the way the commentaries are written. Why would anyone stop playing the Elder Scrolls if Kirkbride's work was made canon? Maybe like I said before, they would think Kirkbride's work wouldn't keep to the spirit of the Elder Scrolls and ruin the experience for them, but that seems like a radical reason to stop playing the game altogether. It would actually be pretty interesting. I certainly wouldn't mind, even if I don't like the idea at all.
