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.

I am seeing your points clearly now Western Gen. Thank you for clarifying. - and yes, I am definitely seeing the annoying nature of repetitive comments. My final opinion on the matter is this: I do enjoy and appreciate many of the theories or ideas that fans have. I even enjoy ones that appear incredibly unlikely such as 'Maine may come back' or 'Locus may be Sleeves'; however, while I would not like Maine to come back, and I would like Locus to be original I will not tell people to pull their heads in. A problem will only arise if people say 'Maine will come back' or 'Locus is the Sleeveless Insurrectionist'. Because we do not know this, so fans should be careful not to be naively stubborn or definitive about their beliefs. I very much appreciate when people say 'I would very much enjoy it if....' but no, 'This person will definitely....' Finally, my only other problem would be repetition. I don't want to control people, and while I won't comment or argue if someone does this; but it is a little irritating if people over and over again comment the same bloody idea.
