Okay, I can see what you're saying, and I agree with it. Obviously, if someone spends the majority of their online time attacking the canonicity of the comics, one has to wonder why.

In general, though, I think the attacks on canonicity are in proportion to the pressure they feel to accept X as canon, as negotiations go on among the fans themselves as to whether they will accept the text as canon. In this particular case, the Canon Police did show up, after all.

Sometimes, I think a level of resentment is fair. I mean, I'm still muttering about "Lehane."
