... that this was a (admittedly much abridged) parody of your post on Egwene. I was merely doing what you always do... twisting each situation to show that Egwene is either wrong, or merely correct, never good.

Its a well built house of cards, I'll admit, but that's all it is. You started with a very negative view of Egwene, and are determined to put a negative spin on all her actions.

Let me take just on example, as a point of interest.

You mentioned Egwene's proposed embassy to Rand and criticized her for making the selections based on Ajah, saying that this directly contradicted her message that infighting between the Ajah's and divisions along Ajah lines is wrong.

The utter absurdity of this argument left me speechless for sometime. It was fairly certain you weren't being funny here, and I cannot see how you can actually mean to say this.

By your "logic", if someone makes a call for all of humaity to be united, it is then hypocritical to choose a doctor to perform heart surgery. Anyone should be allowed to, since they're all supposed to be united!

However pointless her hypothetical embassy was, her choices made complete sense. The best negotiator is likely to be a Gray, and this in no way negates her point that the Gray and every other Ajah need to be united.

Again, her point that Elaida's embassy was fundamentally flawed because it was sent by a Red is very valid. Unless you think Rand was a blubbering retard, he definitely would have noticed that the Tower had chosen to replace a Blue who let him run relatively free with a Red he knows mistrusts him.

Whatever the real truth of their mission, Reds have been seen as fanatically anti-male. Nor is it unreasonable to assume that some of Moiraine's paranoia that the Reds may gentle him first and ask questions later was transferred to Rand as well. It certainly leaked into Egwene herself!

Egwene has never advocated some kind of uniformity among the AS. She even says straight out that rivalry among Ajahs was only to be expected. But enmity and open hostility is what she terms irrational. That she herself has some prejudices is not a sign of hypocricy. She showed herself to be able to rise above that, and she expected the same of the other Aes Sedai.
