Too stupid to read and understand the required material (which also explains the stupid nature of your posts as assemblies of simpleton one-liners, and your inabilte further up in the discussion to properly read my posts), and yet still wanting to take part in discussions, and hence you rage about the canonicity of MK's material. Even though the devs themselves clearly still use that material. If the devs use that material, how the hell is it not canon? You can argue legalese all you want, but this only matters to courts and not here! Get it in your own damn thick skull that these are two separate issues! I do read, I just wont ever consider them canon because you know... im not an idiot.

and o they arent two separate issues, only bethesda has the right to make elder scrolls. and Kirkbride is not the holy messiah of bethesda studios. You do quite behave like an idiot here, though.

Only Bethesda has the copyright etc. They do not have the right to determine what the fans and the community accept as canon. You just don't seem to get that distinction. Are you so much of a corporate loyalist? That would make you something worse than an idiot: A useful idiot.

You are right, tehy cant determine what the fans and community considers canon. But what the fans and communicty accepts as canon...

this might shock you...

is...

completely... woooooooooooooorthleeeeeeeeessssssss

it means... noooooooooooooottttthing...

Everything that I think about the elder scrolls universe, everything that you think, and everything that every single one of us thinks...

is... completely... irrelevent to the canon.

Because we do not have that right... we do not have the power, only the creators of something have the power to say what is and what isnt with something. Kirkbride forsook that right when he left the company.

And just because he clearly regrets it... does not mean we can all pretend to salvage his feelings, or pretend to salvage our own feelings because we want our fan fiction and pet theories to be loved.

No matter what any fan ever thinks, bethesda has the right to do what they want with the Elder Scrolls. And they have, multiple times... flown in the face of all of their fans.

Want to know why? its because sadly most fans are idiots in one way or another. I dont know most of the multiplication table... I can barely write a sentence, I am likely to die trying to operate a toilet.

Do you want them to consider every idiot thought I have on my blog here canon? I sure as hell wouldnt want them too...

and everyone in the world, is just as stupid in their own special ways. That is why they only hire and employ certain people to look over stuff, and write stuff, as to avoid certain idiocy crawling into the work.

and even then... stupidity crawls into the writing of elder scrolls from time to time... in every game in the series.
