It seems pretty obvious that the design of the repeating Wheel of Time is that the DO breaks in. The Creator made everything, and has a design that is carried out by the Wheel. It's pretty clear that he intends for the DO to break in. It's the repeating game he's playing on multiple worlds and universes and throughout time. It's like a chess grandmaster playing 50 people at once, but to the extreme (insert mountain dew ad here).

Nor do I condone the things you say I do. Don't take me from fantasy world stuff and come back to serious real-world issues; at least sci-fi is intended to comment on the present day. Yeah, my analogy isn't perfect, but time was too precious to hunt for a perfect one.

Does it change your interpretation of things that the DO is *intended* to come in and wreck things? That the Grand Plan intends for the DO to break in over and over and over?

Please note, Mr. Strident-Pants, that I never even said that it's a horrible deal. The WoT souls get to live over and over on a pretty-sounding world in a variety of different stages of development. They get to be kings and soldiers and homeless and Graendal's personal mindless fluffer. Of course, the next time they're born again, they could end up being a Myrdraal's girfriend for the last few hours of their life, or rotting to death and going mad because the Creator wants to keep beating the DO at this game over and over.

I simply said that if Cannoli is going to justify the Children's attitude towards channelers, you might as well put the blame where it really belongs. My comment to the Wot Board's own version of Ezra Pound is fashioned in a way different from your reading of it. You're not arguing against the Children having hate for anybody, and you say people deserve the blame for opening a door that they had no warning lead to horrible horrible evil. So the Children should hate all humankind?
