And I'll mind myself around Newton. Anyone who talks in third-person is probably dangerous in some way. I don't talk in Third person. The Master took over my account for a while. I got him to make his own account.

I'm really getting late at these intro posts!
Hello, Captain Spats! (I must commend you on the name--it's quite brilliant!) I'm Kit, your friendly neighbourhood admin. I'm a fan of Three and Four and Eight and all of the Doctors. I can't really put them in order, I love them all so much. Usually Three and Four squeeze ahead by a bit, though. My favourite companions are of the Three and Four eras, though: UNIT!, Jo, Sarah, Harry, Leela, and then I make a big leap to Donna.
And, yes, you seem to be more of a Whovian than a lot of people I've seen. =D

Well, hello there, Captain and welcome - a fellow Seven admirer, I see. We seem to be a dying breed, but, as Mr T might say, I genuinely pity the fool who can't see the self-evident brilliance of Seven and Ace (and even Mel had her moments - as Clocket says, anyone who is actually more stupid than Pex must be doing something right...or not, as the case may be). Excellent siggy there, by the way - Ghost Light may well be my favourite Seven story, for all of its weirdness, and that has to be one of the all-time greatest Doctor quotes - as you can see, I have it too! Oh, and I worship at the altar of Remembrance of the Daleks - what a story.
I think you're a Whovian if you want to be - no ranks or membership requirements in this outfit.
On a personal introductory note - I'm from Liverpool in the UK, I wonder where my twenties went, and as Newton (my nemesis!) will tell you, I am a cad and a bounder and definitely not to be trusted. ;D

Hello! I'm Lynda with a y, from the ninth doctor story Bad Wolf. Mt favorite Doctor at the moment is Six, but Two, Seven, and Nine, and Eight, come to think of it, and Five, and well, let's just say all of them, come close behind. Seven will always have awesome points in my book for being short and for starring in one of my favorite stories ever, Survival. My favorite companions are Donna, Jamie & Zoe, Ace, and Nyssa & Adric. I know it's weird to like Adric, but well, he's a cute little guy and yeah, he makes some mistakes but who doesn't? And he's a math geek, which would automatically win him points in my book even if I didn't like him as a character because I'm a math geek too.
Um, let's see, what else? Tell your friend that if I ever meet her I intend to yell at her or something. Exclusivity does not become us.

You don't understand regeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank.

Between me and her, the whole "Whovian Unworthiness" thing is more of a joke than anything else, I swear. Don't get mad at her, as she may join this site. (I talked it up today at school. I don't know how many of us took the bait, but you may see at least two new members in the near future.)
Good to meet you, Jjpor. It is agreed that we are a dying breed. I recently had the misfortune to come across an "anti-seven" website which tore my heart to pieces. We must stay strong, Jjpor. I fail to understand what it is everyone has against McCoy. He was wonderful.
Likewise, Lynda. It's great to meet you. Adric never bothered me. He wasn't BAD, so much as just looked like one of those kids that has potential to do something great, but no mentor.
EDIT: Sorry. We must have posted at the same time, for I failed to see you. Hello Schrodinger. I like your name too. After the "Schrodinger's Cat" theory, I can safely assume? (the theory itself is fascinating, and the book isn't hald bad either)

Yes my name is based off the theory. You've read the book? I thought I was the only one, thank goodness I'm not .

No, me and my friend Casey read it together. (Who come to think of it is also a who-fan.) We much enjoyed it... though I've yet to determine if it's a work of fiction or a novel or a theory in of itself or... whatever it is.
It's an interesting read nonetheless. We both loved it. (If you've gotten to the bit about Vlad the Impaler, Casey has a myspace pic of Vlad with the slogan, "I'm in love with Vlad the Impaler"on his profile.)

No one gets it either when they read it except the two of us. They usually assume that he has this eerie infatuation with Vlad the Impaler.

XD "I'm in love with Vlad the impaler, and Hitler and Nixon and Ahab the whaler!!!" I is a good read, esecially when you are on a train for 6 hours. It was confusing at first, but then I figured out the style. I love it.

I've seen that anti-Seven website as well, and it made me weep inside also. Seriously, Seven was a great Doctor, and if people want a scape-goat for the show getting cancelled they shuld stop ragging on him and turn their attention to the genius who decided to run Who opposite Coronation Street!

That's a great prospect. Sending hate-mail to people who send hate-mail.
Wouldn't get much done, but... it would give them a taste of their own medicine. That's for certain.

Yea, but Hate mail is just a stupid idea in the first place. It just hurts people. There is no point to it. Still....HOW COULD THEY HATE 7?

I got into an arguement with that's site's founder on youtube once, and ended up walking away from it because they could not be reasoned with. As far as I can tell it's only one person relaly running the thing (if we're thinking about the same site and I do hope there aren't multiples). And they are slightly derranged. I don't think they've even seen any episodes beyond Sylv first season, and they seem sadly misinformed on many many things.
Luckily, most of Whodom recognises that every Doctor is great in their own way!
And PEW PEW! BOOM! to those who don't. Seriously, Whodom is too divided as a fandom already without people like that aggravating things.

Great thing, whovianisim.
I can't wait for my other friends to join this site. You'd all get a kick out of them. (as I'm sure they'd all get a kick out of you.)

Just out of curiosity, how many friends do you think will be joining, and what are they like?

OH! And Captain, if you're still looking for banner ideas, I've got a great one made up for you.

I'd take up Aldy on the banner if I were you. He can do a much better job than I with my cruddy shareware paint knock-off. Though, I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. *points at pretty new icon*
