"Oh boy!"

Oh c'mon, we all know that Jordan is just one of those authors that flies in the face of what Qin has come to adopt as his value system. The problem of course is that he still cannot understand why he likes WoT when he compares it with everything being taught by his teacher and it's confounding him and sending him into denial. Poor soul. Give him a jelly baby it might make him feel better.

Now where were we on this topic again?

Qin, JohnH actually did respond rather intelligently to your post, he replied to each of your posts.

Again, opinions may vary.

[Qin]

Qin:
He doesn't seem to understand that we don't need to see the certain actions of
certain characters.

JohnH:
Oh really? And how many diamonds sit in your crown? After all I am assuming you are using the royal 'we'. You certainly do notspeak for me nor, no doubt for the legion of fans.


The above is not an intelligent reply on Jon's behalf to my statements Fitz; it's a complete disregard for the statements posted. Jon did not bother to discuss the issues I brought up. Instead, he simply insulted me. If Jon's supposed replies to my statements are good enough to match your standards for a retort in a discussion, then I suggest you reconsider your standards.

Well here's mine. They are in no particular order. Except of Jordan and Feist:

Robert Jordan
Raymond Feist
George R.R. Martin
David Eddings
Terry Brooks
Terry Goodkind
Tad Williams
others

[Rhaegar]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears that Jordan isn't contributing to Legends 2. I just read this on a reputable WOT site.

[Rob B]

As I said, opinions may vary, but for the most part JohnH did respond to the majority of points you raised.

[Qin]

Oh he responded - that much is true, but with remarks that display little if any desire to discuss or voice intelligent disagreements.

[Sammie]

because that's something we see SOOO much of from you, isn't it Qin. When you suggest that s'one's comments aren't intelligent, and two other people suggest his comments were intelligent, what makes you think that you are better qualified than us to judge who is right. Answer = arrogance. Grow up, Qin. As FF says - opinions may differ. God forbid, you may even be.....wrong. (gasp, shock horror)

[Qin]

A difference in opinion is acceptable, but poorly argued biases for or against a particular issue are not. How often does a rabid football fan argue against his/her most beloved team? The appropriate answer is: "Very rarely." Perhaps your modus operandi is one of apathy, but not mine.

If you're not going to see the forest for the trees, then I will. They're there, you just have to want to see them. But some people, if they don't know, you can't tell them. Call it arrogance if you wish, call it self-confidence; it doesn't make a difference to me.
