Let's say you decided that Redpill life was too dangerous, boring, cold, whatever, and went to the Cypherites for reinsertion.

Would you want a mindwipe to forget ever being extracted (with happy, content memories in place of the old ones) and take the chance of waking up again?

Or would you accept reinsertion and retain the knowledge of the true nature of the Matrix (without operative training, of course) so that you could never "re-awaken"?

I wouldnt go to Cyph full stop! Why would i want to live in something that isnt real.

That's an interesting point. The people who are awakened are the 1% that reject the Matrix so if they forget what has happened to them when reinserted wouldn't they start rejecting the Matrix again and the whole thing starts over again or would recruitment officers leave them alone because it's already failed once.

Then again if they did keep their memories of being awakened wouldn't the Machines see them as a threat to the system because they could tell other bluepills and cause havoc.

It is canon that redpills can be reinserted.  An early Machine mission has you helping someone who wants to be plugged back into the Matrix.

Mainly, because there is no way back.

This is Cypher's story.  He was the guy that went nuts because he was too old to spring from his pod.  Cypher asked to go back, and he was killed instead.  This is how the cookie crumbles.  Now, what someone else wrote in some mission well...no comment.  But, you stick with that if it makes you happy.

Reinsertion is a fantasy.  Once you're aware, you're always aware.  Remember, Cypher never went back in...he died.

This really isn't up for debate.  Aside from being a part of a mission that every Machinist goes through, some of the (redpill) Sleepwalkers were also reinserted into the Matrix.

Fractor, I would think the Machines would respect those wishes as it means a "happy sleeper", if you get my meaning.

Redalibi, I didn't mean you to join the Cyphs, just go to them for reinsertion.

Rainking, as always, you argue for the sake and pure pleasure of it. However, I find your argument here to be of the "tree falling in the forest" ilk. So, I'll just say that I choose to believe, in my fanboish way, that reinsertion is indeed, canon.
