I admit my example is not great, but the point stands and I am by no means grasping at straws nor am I being belligerent. If I have some how offended you Leo or if you've found some thing I've said to be rude or uncalled for I apologies, but at the risk of incuring your wrath simply because some one doesn't agree with you. Doesn't mean they are being belligerent or flamebaiting.

Here's the bottom line. Canon ( and the idea there of ) can be confusing and is often tied to the ideas of licensing and official works, but is different concept. Conscerned more with what is real in universe, then the relationship media shares in the real world.

It is by no means more a matter of common sense to assume an all inclusive canon then not.

Drayco's option is just as arbitary in fact in some way more so because it lacks clear definition and presumes that we can set up Canon heirarchy of our own.

By that I mean in his system we are no longer left with just canon and non-canon, but rather levels of canon and the nagging question of what constitutes contridiction from one source to another. I' sure with enough shoe horning and hoop jumping we could manage a time line where Adam West and the NolanVerse co-exist.

Further we start to see even further divisions, that further muddy the issue. Look at Bulls posts where their is indication that he holds some secondary sources to be higher on the canon food chain then others ( if this is not the case Bull I apologies ) and even if he's not its an inevitability in an all inclusive canon theory. People are going to regard good novels written by some one nominally connected to the films higher then they do information printed on the card packaged with a McDonalds toy.

Lets stop and getting some thing out of the way. Their is nothing intrinsically wrong with this take on canon, nor do I have a significant problem using it.

I just contest the Idea that it is or should be the default approach or that one lacks common sense for not using it.

Truth is this whole topic while interesting and worthwhile as whole. Has little to do with the subject(s) at hand or the debate up to this point.

All I asked was if PoC had a stated canon policy. Bull said they did. At that point it came to light they they didn't. Though the fan base had one in place, one this wiki seems to default to as well and that's the one Bull was refering to likely misunderstanding what I was asking for. No harm no foul.

It should also be noted that haven't dismissed the EU sources out of hand per se, rather I hold the primary sources and their creator(s) to be the higher sources of canon then graphics in secondary material.

An interpertation that is in keeping with your take on the subject.

I may disagree with this approach in general, but I am not unwilling to use it ( and I have been ) ecspecially in cases like this where the match creator hand it in mind.

At the end of the day with the threat of a ban on the table its your barbacue. I like posting here and if this is the administrations take on canon I'll abide when posting here.
