But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion

I mean, if writing it first means everyone else is a derivative rip-off, then Jordan ripped off Goodkind by using that exact same story line for Egwene in KoD.
Plainly, by your logic, and the pretensions of Tom, whose eloquence, so hard-won in his smarter-than-thou book choices, appears to have deserted him in this thread, Jordancould only have stolen his idea from Goodkind. Plainly, he is right about his tremendous impact.
He used the same story line several times. I never once was awed or inspired by the writing. You weren't. I wasn't. Doesn't mean no one else is. Meanwhile the guy whose signature has a picture of Stalin can descend into spewing profanity in lieu of articulating any genuine criticism, about one of the most blatantly anti-communist works of fiction to reach a wide audience, and we're NOT supposed to think that maybe Goodkind has point about his critics?
However absurd his beliefs, he certainly articulates them with greater coherence and credibility than any of his critics in this thread.

That was just a joke about her giving up the series. I didn't even recall which one was book 6

It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number.

Isn't that the one where Richard carves a statue that is so rad it inspires a rebellion?

As well as being the most overtly anti-communist & anti-religious of the series.

Goodkind is a jackass with a complete disregard for people who think any different than him.
