I beg your pardon?
Do I understand you correctly?

The implication of your statement is that permission has been 
granted to think this and further, that there are thoughts that
are *not* perfectly fine, that may not only be alternative readings
that you disagree with, but may somehow breach an arbitrary 
orthodoxy that other posters may not be aware of and need your
guidance to comply with.

I really hope that I have misunderstood, that this is not the case, 
that you are not implying that the acceptability or otherwise of a 
member's theories is in your competence.

Diversity of opinion is the life-blood of the site.
The understanding of all who read the posting rules is that 
members are free, nay encouraged, to express views on canon, 
unpopular or not, irrespective of whether another member concurs
with their opinion or not.

If that understanding is in error, I want to know about it - now.
