Re: There is no rewriting... Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 18/05/2010 09:21:31 PM
My reason for this argument is that RJ has never had this kind of gaping plot hole in his books, ever.


But one can't simply rewrite reality to suit one's desires.


I'm simply extrapolating and making guesses. Based on the fact that RJ never left any such plot holes before.


No, you're trying to justify an entirely unfounded conslusion based on the assumption of that conclusion's truth. You have absolutely no evidence or argument to support your conclusion, even the feeble cry of 'RJ leaves no plot holes' makes no sense, given that RJ didn't even write The Gathering Storm. Notice also the absence of Mattin Steppaneos, for example. Not that I'd accept the argument even if it were the case. If it were true, you might expect Egwene to mention surprise that it was never brought up, or again, for Elaida to mention it since she is clearly not obeying Tsutama, as the Red/Black Tower plotline indicates. There is no indication that this was being covered up or ignored, because it is not mentioned at all. It isn't the Red Ajah that fails to bring it up, it is everyone, including the authour(s). Heck, even the White Sisters Egwene "debates" (I use the term loosely) with could have brought it up.

In brief, you need actual evidence to support an argument, you can't go around randomly accusing people on no basis.

I like Leane, and respected Siuan until RJ mauled her character - 10/05/2010 05:55:08 PM 859 Views
She was probably the sacrificial lamb in place of Moiraine - 10/05/2010 06:25:39 PM 817 Views
The deck was certainly stacked against Siuan from the very beginning - 11/05/2010 02:44:05 PM 865 Views

In Egwene's defense, it would be hypocritical of her to bring that up after profiting from it - 12/05/2010 05:59:57 AM 881 Views
Oh, I never expected Egwene to do something about this. - 12/05/2010 06:12:35 AM 783 Views
Well she's off forging a relationship with the Asha'man - you know, useful stuff? *NM* - 12/05/2010 06:39:04 AM 540 Views
