'fixing the numbers' That's effectively what statistics are, fixing numbers. As for the comment regarding people agreeing with you, yes people are, but they're either rare contributors or anons, not people that contribute either to the wiki for what it is, in discussions, in chat, in blogs etc etc on a common basis.

At the end of the day bud, you don't like Mashima's style or his current work and you've justified why before, and I'll respect that opinion and the justifications. And in turn, my reasoning for liking the series is because it's a form of escapism from my shitty depression with cool but simple to understand abilities, hot female characters, and a plot that keeps me - as a reader - guessing as to what's going to happen in a beautiful and enviable art style, so I hope you respect my reasoning as a result, regardless of if you agree with it or not.

What I don't respect is repetitiveness. You criticise Mashima for being unoriginal, basically repeating other peoples ideas and plots. Doesn't it seem somewhat hypocritical then that you're repeating arguments that people have had for this series for years and then consistently commenting them as if we've never heard or seen them before and trying to flog it off as something new? I'm not going to mention what I respect even less, because a) I can't be arsed, and b) I've just had a great fortnight and I don't want it ruined by a petty argument over something that in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter in life, living or infinity.
