    Yeah, it's impossible to say RE4 and RE5 aren't cannon. You may not like them, but they're part of the story. UC and DSC are kinda canon - the scenarios for RE1, RE2, RE3 and CODE: Veronica aren't, but I imagine some of the side chapters in 1 and the completely new stories. Plus the files are probably canon, although whether they're correctly translated is another matter.

    I, personally, think Wesker's Report was canon - it's just another victim of changing plans within the company. Whether it still is is a bit trickier. I dunno.

    ...Yeah, no.

    I don't like RE4 but it's a main entry. 5 is a main entry. As for Darkside Chronicles you might get away with, but still, the Japanese translations from the games should automatically override anything supplemental like Wesker's Report.

    Wesker's Report IS canon!

    Resident Evil 4 (50/50 on this), The Darkside Chronicles and 5, IS NOT canon!

    Anyway, shut up please. That's at least two or three worthless pages of off-topic bullshit now.
    Anyway. Since they added in some stuff to the Archives II edition of Wesker's Report (I actually don't think they did, I think that the text is straight from the Collector's Box text versions) I wonder if they did the same for Wesker's Report II, Ada's Report and the Secret Reports from BH5? I can already see that they left the 'S' pharmaceutical company in Ada's Report.

    I wouldn't normally double post but I'm lazy and tired tonight after working almost ten hours and then immediately taking my little brother to see a Michael Bay film in 3D. God help me if I quote two people in separate posts on this special rare occasion. I think we're passed the "obsession" bit. If not, we should be. Otherwise you might as well be proving my case right as it seems to have struck a nerve with you two to continually bring it up.

    Again my post regarding Wesker's Report was ignored. So all it tells me is that we've gone beyond the point of no return in this topic.

    To debate Wesker's Report is to debate its significance wouldn't you agree? So I'm not exactly off topic in giving my two cents over the trivial issues to look at in the report. And yes it stemmed to a user and the over all series, but why haven't we kept the case tight knit? You should be looking at the big picture here. You can't bring it back on topic so what does that say? The topic has no legs to stand on. I've tried and you two still can't get over the idea one of you could...dare I suggest....look too much into it. ;>_>

    First of all - double posting bad. Please use the edit function next time.

    Second, I'm not banning anyone over this, not unless I finally vie someone an infraction and they turn into a flailing moron spewing stupid all over everything again, but this isn't the thread to be debating how worthy debating canon is. This one is for debating the use of Wesker's Report. If you want to talk about why you feel it's a relevant or less useful resource, go ahead. Just not, 'it's too minor a detail to be important, so you're obsessed.'

    Honestly? I don't understand why you, or Fruit Salad, found this topic so vile and offensive. So you guys don't like this level of detail with your plot? That's fine. Close the thread and move on. As it stand, both of you (although more politely in your case) seem to be going, 'I don't like this level of plot detail, and shall now attempt to piss on it from a great height.' We get you don't care, don't think it's important, don't want to read about it - but other people do. You can make a thread about how much you don't care if you like. Although that seems an odd thing to do. But would you kindly let the folks who do care get back to there chat?
    Well I tried to make an attempt to stay on topic but News Bot himself has shown to sway likewise. And I do not find the topic offensive. We're discussing the canon and its specifics especially to Wesker's report. To do so means to cover your viewpoints on that canon both whether you can accept its shlock or not. This is a debate after all I presumed. It's nothing to get banned or threatened over. But I'm willing to give this another chance if you all are.

    You know I want to address posts towards me but in doing so I'm risking my account.

    The implication was that I think every webmaster was. What if I did? The point being that the dick comment was unnecessary and you know it. Sarcasm or otherwise. Doesn't make you look good. Only fans the flames. I would hope you of all people might be a little more professional.

    If you didn't believe he was trying to shove me off before then it certainly shows now. I provide a on-topic post that gets completely overlooked and I'm told to shut up. The irony being that in trying to stay on topic he only chooses to direct his attention toward off topic remarks.

    Cause honestly, the rest of this thread is giving me this vibe:


    Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the point of arguing like this, espeicially online. Newsbot and Smiley can agree to disagree on the importance of RE's canon, now kiss and makeup you two.

    Then report it. We're not omniscient (despite what Darkmoon's beard may prompt you to think), and Fruit Salad only got a kick in the arse after News Bot took the time to PM us all about what had been going on and linked to the posts. If someone outright called you a dick, report it, and chances are they'll get an infraction for it too.
    I read every post on the forums, but I miss stuff. Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm in a rush, sometimes it's a wall of text on a subject I don't give a crap about. Sadly, despite the attempts of various doctors to genetically enhanced me to homo superiors, I'm still human. If someone insults you, report it. Then move along.

    I didn't call you a dick:

    Is every single webmaster of these kind of sites obsessed? To say that they are would point more to you being a dick than anything else.
