I don't know what Cannoli has against reading through his own post. Exactly what purpose is served examining each scene with Egwene in it? Worse, why examine some again to make exactly the same points in the same post?

The conclusion is obvious. For all his claims to be a mere-Egwene hater, Cannoli is talking down to the "dumb" readers of RAFO. He's making posts just to be seen making posts, so that the next time he makes a similar length post with even more atrocious nonsense in it, the sheep will give one or two word replies like "nice post", and "wow", and never read the entirety of what he is saying so they may offer informed dissent.

Make a post long enough, and anything anyone says can be rebutted with "but I said in page 9, paragraph 3, line 2, word 7 that...". The whole exercise is a Machiavellian ploy to silence those who disagree with him. Can we not say that Cannoli is, in fact, not very different from the Trolls who have been in the board before? Before we start commending him for his post, let us step out of the PoV trap and see that just because he finally realized that splitting his post into paragraphs is good (which only proves that we who urged him to do so before were right), doesn't mean he has stopped being a troll. It just shows how low the standards are among trolls. Any five year old can split texts into paragraphs, so giving kudos to Cannoli for this is clearly wrong.

What we make of Cannoli's seemingly pro-Egwene statements depends totally on how he uses the power he has gained from this post in the future. Is he truly on the path to redemption? Will he slowly realize that he has all along been misjudging her and had been rude and insulting for the wrong reasons? Will he stop his overbearing tirades against actions of Egwene that are good and make sense? If so, then his previous mistakes can be laughed away as mere bumps on the path to enlightenment. But there are many disturbing comments in this post itslef, which only show a dangerously foolish continuation of the belief that he alone knows best. Not being Cannoli, I will not enumerate them all.

In fact, there is a very great chance that an UBER-Troll will be born, worse than others like Liltempest who he seems to contradict in this post. Thus, it is only future actions that can let us see if Cannoli is worthy of any praise. Till then, judgment must be reserved.




Really, its quite scary how similar Cannoli is to his imagined Egwene. It seems he needs someone to hate in his life, and RJ provided.
