It sounds as though you are angry at those who continue to make these 'repetitive comments', however, it may also be a matter of 'the thread is so long people might think that their comment is the first'. I sympathise with your beliefs though. More than anything, I don't want to start a dispute that annoys the speculators who are simply part of the forum to deliver ideas rather than watch "two guys bicker like an old married couple".

The way I deal with people annoying me: ignore them. because I don't want to control others, that would make me an oppressor. I'm not saying lead the thread, I'm just suggesting you let them speculate. I'm friends with a lot of fans of the show, so many of which consider Red vs. Blue just a bunch of 'skits', and will watch the odd episode here and there rather than the whole thing. These people watch it for comedic value rather than respecting the whole show. - to these people who call themselves fanboys, I just let it go. They infuriate me, but I humour them by thinking they know what goes on. They'll watch the odd episode once a year in a random order, I'll watch at least a season a week. Yes a lot of what the say is bullshit but I know better than to let their attempts get the better of me. I know I'm right, I suggest (though honestly don't mind if you don't take this on board) that you do the same. Acknowledge you are right, but don't let others know.

Look, I see where you're coming from with not wanting to control people and stuff. I have a few friends who act similar towards the show. The difference is, they're not saying Maine's gonna return over and over again. Like the anon I quoted before - this is a reoccurring thing and if it didn't keep happening I wouldn't care. And that's the point when you have to say something about it. You can't always allow people to do what they want, because that in itself can create it's own problems. Example: the French Revolution. If there's not some form of regulation when things start to become a problem then everything falls to shit. And if people keep talking about this idea, then even more people are gonna keep talking about this idea (as if it wasn't enough people already), until people are gonna think it's no longer a question of if Maine comes back, it's when Maine comes back. And people are gonna keep saying "Yeah guys Maine is TOTALLY coming back this season isn't it so obvious" and he NEVER DOES for reasons I've already said ad naseum and then you've just wasted everyone's time. Including your own.

We've had five years of BGC, another five of PFL. Those five years were cool and all, sure, but they've passed. Unfortunately, some fans haven't gotten that beat.

There's really nowhere to go with PFL anymore. The Director is dead, only two Freelancers are confirmed to be alive (Wash and Carolina), and no one cares about the Counselor. Maine's dead. He's been dead for like, what, four years now? Why bring him back now, other than to satisfy people who make these sort of crackpot theories? And I can say for sure that it isn't the Sleeveless Insurectionist, because he was a no-name character who was needed to provide backstory for how Maine lost the ability to speak. His purpose was served, as was Maine's. There's no motivation for these past characters to come back.

This legitimately pisses me off, and I don't like saying that. Let the past be the past, seriously. It's a new story, and so far, it's doing pretty good. Let's focus on that, can we?

THANK you, this is what I've been trying to say.

Which I don't really mind as long as they focus on the future as opposed to the past.

This is basically what the deal is, yeah. I agree.
