The switch was made after Louise Simonson left the franchise and shortly before Claremont left. Shortly thereafter, Bob Harras and Jim Lee came up with the idea that Cable was baby Nathan all grown up. That's when Cable started being called "Nate" in X-Force. That's also when Scott, Jean, and everybody else stopped referencing baby Nathan as Christopher.
Scott hating the name "Nathan" was a Simonson/Claremont thing.
I've found it's always best to put the worst offenders on ignore. Anyone who comes into any appreciation thread for the purpose of trashing that character gets stuffed there on the first offense. Mind you, criticism from someone who likes the character but is part of another fandom isn't enough - it has to be someone whose purpose is to trash them.
Actually I just added 3, I don't mind that they dislike Cyclops but they take it way too and i mean too far. Even to the point to attack Cyclops fans. But mostly reading the same thing over and over again about Cyke and his one Big mistake of almost having sex with a blond get boring and I just don't want to see it. Not going to let haters spoil the fun and happiness of my favorite character coming back.
And we've got a yaoi / fan fiction section for some reason... Also we need retro weekends, I'll give the gist later
As for the warzones, message to everyone, don't get angry at things you can't control and try to always have fun, if you're frustrated instead of having fun in the forum, take a chill pill or come here, I think the previous thread was named chillclopia for a while
