I edited their articles about the Master. Basically the article said that the Delgado Master and Jon Pertwee were always meant to be in love, and presented it as a fact.
So I naturally tidied it up and included how they were originally intended to be brothers instead. You might think what's the point, but I think it's wrong to let what are supposed to be objective, factual websites visited by millions every year spread disinformation about the Classic era, just to try and make it tie in with Remake Who.
Rewriting of the past is always a mistake. I wouldn't even do it to make Classic Who fit better with itself, by say writing that they always intended to have the Doctor regenerate in a few years as far back as An Unearthly Child.
My edits were instantly udone. I tried again, they were undone, then I left a message saying this was ridiculous as it was denying facts. I was then banned from editing.
So I took it up with the message forum, I was told that I was editing with an agenda (you can fucking watch Jon Pertwee, and Barry Letts who co-created the character SAY that they intended them to be brothers on the Planet of the Spiders DVD.)
When I brought up what Pertwee said, and told them to seek the DVD out, they then said that didn't matter as there is a consensus on this website that they were lovers.
I then pointed out that someone had undone my edits and called me a misogynist, and they weren't banned, (as the claimed I was also banned for being rude) after which I was then banned completely from the site for good.
To me this shows a complete abuse of power, and that sadly Tv Tropes and Idioms can't be trusted for anything if they are willing to rewrite the past to placate some horny shipper fans. It also shows you how far New Who fans are willing to go to rewrite the past and the toxic hold shipper fans have over franchises.
