Yes, I know you don't share all my opinions. But we can still talk smoothly about things. That's the point.

As for arguments, I can try to be amicable, but I can't promise I'll be funny&mdash;I can't force funny if I'm not in the mood. I can only say I'll generally be sincere, whatever my mood may be.

Lately, I haven't been in the best mood. Thing is, until Saturday I'd been trying to steadily move on. But then UltimateTitan6 hit a raw nerve by bringing up and ridiculing one of my biggest issues with the show, when I wasn't even talking about it. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but the experience left me feeling sniped, disrespected and unwelcome. Because my guard had been down and the incident had been allowed to get under my skin, I wanted him to understand and respect how important it was to me. But then I realized he was treating it as a big joke, which made me feel a lot worse.

I was always serious about my points. I at least wanted that amount of respect and not to be treated as a joke. But it seems now that everyone thinks this show is a joke&mdash;the difference is, when it becomes a joke, I think the show suffers for it, but when a lot of other people think it's a joke, it's because they've always treated TMNT first and foremost as a comedy. How can I hope to be taken seriously when people see that as a farce to begin with?

I have some good TMNT fan friends, but I don't talk to them every day, and sometimes not every week; we're all adults and we have lives. Most of the time, if I feel in a TMNT mood, the only place I have is the wiki. A wiki disproportionately packed with 2K12 viewers (many of whom seem to be interested in nothing else), and whose other sections (comics especially) would go mostly neglected if not for my maintenance. When 2K12 started to really suck, things also started to feel lonelier around here.
