No problem, with people I haven't talked to before and haven't really seen my thoughts or opinions on the subject of Halo I definitely try to put at least effort in...I get quite a bit lazier if it's someone that I've talked/debated/argued about it with before ^^'
If you don't mind getting stuff spoiler for you and actually want [i]specific[/i] details about all of the stuff that I consider to be contradicting canon and/or as not really fitting in the series, you can read [url=http://princessarien.deviantart.com/journal/Halo-and-Why-I-Hate-the-Current-Writers-362092601]through this[/url] and the comments section on it to see all of my thoughts on it......though I will put it out there as fair warning, I wrote that mainly as a way to blow off steam and when I was [i]extremely[/i] frustrated/angry so there's a fair amount of cursing and ranting in the actual journal itself :/ For the most part I avoided that in the comments, but still, thought I should let you know and throw that little bit of warning out there so you wouldn't be surprised by any of it if you decided to read it....I really should write up a calm, edited, proof-read, cohesive version of that so I have an easy way of consistently explaining my opinion on the current state of the Halo series in future >_> 'Cause I'm not really all that sure I want people reading that whole unedited, stream of consciousness rant there whenever I need to sum it all up XD

I am saving that article for later, it was a good read and says much of what I have been saying all along. Thank you for that.

You're quite welcome, glad to have been a bit of assistance...I hope sometime that I can basically re-create that at some point as a more well thought out and actually edited piece. It's not like I'm ashamed of that particular journal entry or any anything, but it doesn't really serve the intended purpose all that well...or at least as well as I'd want it to. I feel like I could do a much better and more comprehensive job.

Yeah I'll do that sometime! ^-^

Cool, if/when you do try to leave a comment with your thoughts on it as I find it helps me further nail down my thoughts on a matter or explain it better when I can have some sort of discussion with someone, well, do it if Deviant Art allows people to make anonymous comments and doesn't require you to create an account to say something >_> If they do, then don't worry about it :) And hey, I just wanted to say thanks for being easy to talk to and open minded about the whole thing, that's something that I [i]really[/i] appreciate a great deal. All too often I find people on both sides of the issue being too prickly about the subject and not really being willing to at the very least make it look like they're willing to listen to what the opposing side/viewpoint has to say. So thanks, it's really appreciated :D
