    Ditch RTD, Keep Ncuti and Tennant, and
    get a new showrunner that will retcon the timeless child.

    I doubt they'll ever explicitly retcon it; just stop mentioning it,
    like the Doctor being half-human as established in the McGann movie.

    That's the problem... he can't stop mentioning it!

    Some of the people that dislike the Timeless Child era of the
    show also happen to be the ones that are continually bringing
    it up... every single day! They are more obsessed over the
    Timeless Child than Chris Chibnall was.

    How about you come to the realization that Dr. Who is sci-fi, and
    therefore it is appropriate to post (or x-post) Dr. Who stuff to a
    sci-fi fandom newsgroup.

    Additionally Ubiquitous was the originator of the thread. Take a look
    at the number of groups he posted to. He is not a regular here. I
    suggest you bring it up with him if you're so triggered about it.

    How about you learn how to use the killfile or ignore thread
    filter options on your newsreader? You are not the boss of any
    newsgroup, you are just a contributor like any other poster. The
    Usenet God created all posters equal!

    Ignoring people and not replying to them might help too.

    Your Usenet experience is what YOU choose to make it.

    In return, I'll agree to never crosspost anyhting
    about Balticon, Philcon, the Worldcon, or any other con,
    or about any fan club or fanzine, to the Dr. Who newsgroup.

    Well... Doctor Who is a TV show that is on-topic for that
    newsgroup so if you have links relating to anything that might
    interest Doctor Who fandom feel free to post them!
