The, uh, time travel section here is completely speculation. It's... it's a nice theory, but I don't think it belongs here, especially so prominently. --ItsWalky 17:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I was just about to say the same thing. I am very uncomfortable with all this conjecture. --Crockalley 17:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I understood your most of your edits, Walky, but I think Interrobang's hack-and-slash has seriously gone too far. 'Omega Point' is one of the most convoluted and hard-to-read stories in TF fiction, and if I weren't familiar with it, I would certainly appreciate some analysis in an article about it. If what I wrote was factually wrong or excessively hypothetical, then fine (and I'll grant the latter on a few things in there). But most of what Interrobang cut was either connecting the dots of the basic story logic or flat-out recapping. I'm tempted to just paste it back in and say, "No, it's NOT that speculative," but that doesn't get us anywhere. So where's the line? What counts as "speculation," and ultimately who's the judge? And, since it seems to be a cardinal sin around here, why isn't there a policy laid down anywhere? Or have I missed it? - Jackpot 21:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
