User blog:Madman97/The CHIM Argument: The Renewed Version

One thing I would like to make abundantly clear is that my last blog on CHIM "Why I don't think it exists" was written in November of 2013, and the gap between that one and this one has allowed me some extra time to ponder why it is a dislike it so much. Well, I haven't much thought about it lately, until a recent spat with a user on my last blog came to fruition. The purpose of this blog is to act as a final refutation to him and all CHIM supporters out there. Before I could write a response to his argument, he saw that in the comments of the blog, I had not yet realized what the Enantiomorph was and no longer took me seriously as a loremaster. Once again, I would like to point out that this was back in 2013. I know what the Enantiomorph is (Basically apotheosis achieved by two sides facing one another in Mortal Kombat while being witnessed and chosen as the Enantiomorph by another; i.e. Nerevarine vs. Dagoth Ur, witnessed by Vivec). He also had some harsh things to say about this wikia.

Apparently, we have a horrible reputation for laughing at people who believe or quote CHIM (if that is what he meant by it). I have to reject that statement. Back before "Why I think CHIM isn't real" came out, I couldn't take two steps in the other direction without Kirkbride Enthusiasts berating me for my reasons of disbelief, earning me the title "Most Hated Loremaster." I was happy to see I had some support in the comments (In fact, perhaps things really have changed to the point that a lot of us no longer truly believed in CHIM as many did), but make no mistake; I went through much persecution because I "didn't get it."

But I have to say, the debate between me and the fussy user could have been a delicious treat should it had run its course without him cutting and running because of lacking in something nearly two years ago. When he first commented, I thought he was just some random Kirkbride drifter, but after reading his eloquent response, it was very clear he was passionate about this brand of Elder Scrolls lore, which I appreciate. I hope he didn't think his opinions offended me. Rather, I had not had a good lore argument in a long time, none of us have as far as I know. Granted, I wish it had been on another subject because this has long been a dead horse, but I couldn't refuse to respond even if he refuses to respond to me. I would have been honored to have a disccusion with such a powerful writer, which makes it all the more sad I have to admit his flowery language doesn't disuade me from putting Kirkbride's nose in the dirt.
