Guest OsRavan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 no i was stating a fact. considering robert jrodan is married to my aunt, it takes only a short phone call to prove that this was nto him. once again you have been proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurytus Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Os, I greatly appreciate you trying to fight the good fight. However, I think it is time for you to stop. I have a major confession to make... I am a hack and a sellout. Discussion is over... Nice one, Robert. First thing you've ever written that cuts to the heart of the matter.

Vestrit Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 considering robert jrodan is married to my aunt Ah, a few things have finally begun to make sense. After a year of wondering why Os rises to the bait every single time on this one, I understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltaran Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 its not a fact hes selling out. its a baselss opinion. Well, you're half right, Os. It's certainly an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OsRavan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 and since no one is providing any facts its baseless.. or atleast baselss on antohing that imo matters. ie besides personal beliefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurytus Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 At least our opinions are not clouded by personal bias.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buried Treasure Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 its not a fact he's a sellout there is evidence that he is a sellout - see my previous post (and if you wish to argue that it was not RJ admitting he's a sellout then you'll need to provide evidence that he couldn't have posted without telling you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OsRavan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 all opinions are cliuded by personal bias. indeed the fact that you cant find any proof to back up your opiniosn would signify its vastly colroed by personal bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurytus Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The ever-increasing percentage of "padding" in each book since the 1st three is all the proof I need. In most fantasy works of more than 1 book you cannot afford to skip a chapter and not miss key points. In Jordan's case you can skip entire books. When you provide less plot for the same cost, you are selling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OsRavan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 what is padding? the books have taken logner to come out not shorter whcih woudl indicate selling out. what padding is htis? the existance of padding is a subejctive opinion. i thin kthere has been less padding as thigns go on thats oen. secodn assumign there was 'padding' it woudlnt idnciate selling out. it could jsut as easly and mroe liekyl be 1)( loss of cotnrol of the story 2) artistic choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurytus Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 So he's padding the books for the artistry huh? That's a new one on me. How do I know he's padding the books? Simple. It takes far more words to write a synopsis that accurately captures the plots in books 1-4 than it would in books 7-9. He has less and less to say. Rather than include it in one book, which would limit the money making potential, he whacks in a load of padding and includes it in 3. Three times the moolah. And that's before you even take into account the type face issues which make the later books appear longer than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Os, until you make that phone call, you have no proof that it wasn't Robert Jordan. And until we see that proof, we have no reason to believe otherwise. It's just your baseless opinion. That was god damn priceless btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kastor Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Why the hell are you people still bothering to argue with Os? He's baiting you, or haven't you seen that? He repeats the same thing, over and over again, you lay out a 20 page thesis explaining your opinion, and he'll only respond with 'tahts juts yuor opinoni!' This is pointless, and frankly, how you don't have a headache from trying to understand what he says amazes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OsRavan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 nonsense eur. it takes *me* the same amount of words. the problem may be you no longer care about his books, you no logner pay attention, your writign skills, what oyu tihnk si important, i dont know.l but you are makign comemtns about what *You* think. you *think* its padded. *you* cant write a concise sumamry. well ok. good for you. this proves? absuloutly ntohign other then that oyu shoudlnt be readign the books cause they arent to your taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurytus Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I don't think they are padded. I know they are. If you believe there is any doubt then I can only assume you failed to read my post properly. There is none. And I have the majority of opinion in agreement with me. nonsense eur. it takes *me* the same amount of words. Perhaps you should try not padding your synopsis. Unless by padding the synopsis of a padded novel you were attempting to be ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHK for Darwin Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Seriously, why do you guys continue to argue this? You'll get more progress banging your head against a brick wall and you know it. In any RJ or Yankees thread, just let Os be Os...and continue your conversations as if his repetitive statements were never posted. (nothing personal Os, but ya need some new material ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
