And I can tell you're through when you've gotten to three+ insults per paragraph. nossy Send a noteboard - 06/10/2009 05:46:24 PM
I'll address your points as soon as I have more time. Elayne absolutely did not win the day in this situation, and you'll not convince me otherwise. What she did was get people killed and get into a situation that required someone else to save her ass. If Birgitte, the one who would have, you know, been coddling her, had not been able to track her and trick the windfinders into helping (or going back for Kin to do the same even though most can't fight properly), Elayne would have been lost by her own actions. I feel fine calling her to task for that, and pointing out that the win was in no way her doing. You'd be having convulsions if it were Egwene in a similar situation, so I am finding most of this conversation laughable.

Gotta go, atm.

Good points! Also, these "generals" haven't actually fielded any troops beetnemesis - 01/10/2009 11:23:40 PM 752 Views

Mat's not a soldier, either - he's a general RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2009 10:51:29 PM 816 Views
Right, which was what we were discussing at first. nossy - 02/10/2009 04:13:43 PM 750 Views
Yeah, I'm supporting your point about them both being generals RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 06:10:31 PM 769 Views
