I hope that your statement is based simply on a misuderstanding and not guilty conscience?
The DC Group obviously puts in a decent amount of hours on their work. The time taken definately shows in the quality of the result. I may not agree with a percentage of what is produced, but I'm still impressed by it. I even use some of it.
I also cannot recall any members of the DC Group directly stating their work is canon, or will be canon. I can however recall others having that impression (obviously incorrectly).
Canon is canon, pure and simple. Don't like what you see? Go change it, publish your own interpretation and open it up to discussion. Don't however try to force your, or anybody elses ideas on the community as a whole with the aim of pushing canon aside. (Note the above is a general statement not aimed any anyone in particular).

That was my very first post on this site. Based on many hours of close reading of virtually all the canon books, I'd like to think it's a reasonable peice of work. It might not actually BE canon, but it's got to be a reasonable continuation of the base information.
There has been other lengthy posts on a number of subject also. I may not have published a book, or created an alternate timeline (something I'm not interested in anyway), but nearly five hundred posts in about nine months has to mean I'm at least contributing in one way or another.
So why should I need to defend my position?
Canon is, well, canon. Take it or leave it, say what you want about it, just don't force your own opinions and outlook on others (whoever you may be).
And above all,
relax!
