Bold I think Analyzer is well aware she will keep on debating with us and there will never be an end to it because we will always disagree with her. The way I have come to see it she's only here to try and change our minds of the manga ending. She wants us to stop liking NS and like NH/SS instead. That's it she wants us to jump ships and she knows that's impossible but she's going to try anyway. I'm still wondering why she chose to come to this forum there are DOZENS of Naruto forums on the internet and she has to come to a NS one. Truth is she's wasting our time she will never convince me or anyone to accept the BS ending and the kitten pairings Kishimoto went with. I love NS and I will always love it, it's a million times better than NS/SS she will obviously disagree and guess what? I DON'T CARE. The only way she will leave this forum is if everyone and I do mean everyone no longer reply to her posts. As long as there are people replying to her, she will continue. If all of us ignore her then she might grow tire and hopefully leave.
As much as I dislike to play the Devil's Advocate, I have to do so now. Honestly, I don't wish for any person to leave if they consider themselves a NaruSaku fan. But I wish for people like Analyzer to just learn empathy when replying to others. Like I mentioned in our of my posts, many people come here to seek relief after being disappointed by the ending, and I believe almost every person found so is not just because they aren't happy that NS is together, but also because the story that some followed for more than 10 years came to a disappointing ending overall. However, suddenly a person like her arrives and says: "The ending is cohesive and everything makes sense", then of course there will be debates because it is actually the opposite view of the cast majority of the people hanging in the forums.
But despite all of this, I don't like it when people leave the forums. Someone I appreciated left the forums some years ago and I still feel partly guilty for it, although I was told that this was not my fault. I want any NS shipper to feel welcome, after all.
However, Analyzer is basically making everyone feel just like Kishimoto did when he said that fans just misread the manga. I don't wish for anyone to leave, but more to show empathy for those seeking hope regarding NaruSaku.
Nate River comes to mind when I think of this argument (Hi Nate :) ), and even tricksie sometimes (Hi tricksie. :) ). There have been points in where I have seen disagreements between them and other members of the forums, but I have seen that they have shown a limit of restraint in order to not cause the mess that is happening in this particular case.
So yeah, no need to agree, but no need to leave either. Just learn to convey hope to the members of this forum even though agreement may not be the way to do so. After all, after the ending, that is what most of the NS supporters come to this forum for. Kinda like a marriage: if winning at argument means putting distance in a marriage, then sometimes it is best to just drop the topic and strive for peace.
But anyway, I feel like this has gone on a tangent. Back to the thread:
It may have been discussed already, but just for topic: What elements would you change throughout the course of the manga to make NS the canon pairing?
