If you can't take point-for-point criticism of baseless speculation vs an argument using established facts from the canon, you should leave, not me. You seem to be confused. Both of us are using facts, but that does not mean neither of us are speculating. A fact would be that Amber was shot in the chest with an obsidian-like arrow and pierced the glass door of the pod. Speculation is you saying Amber couldn't be revived by a broken pod and that she would have drowned in her own blood. The difference between me and you is that you seem to think or at least act as if the latter is a fact or as good as one. I refuted a number of the points you made previously, or at least gave completely reasonable rebuttals, yet you come right back with the same exact arguments as if that didn't happen insisting that only your understanding of things is logical. The assumptions you make to get to your ultimate conclusions are considerable, yet you don't even seem to think those are assumptions.

Obviously me and him are in a bit of a disagreement on the subject but the point of this thread as of late is to debate those disagreements, not tell someone that they should leave because they disagree with you. I'm not saying people should leave because they do not like one person's speculation, but if they are going to spend their time in a speculation thread asserting that the speculation of others is wrong because their speculation is better than they don't really belong. Unlike Arkantos, I'm not so arrogant as to believe I know what is going to happen in the series or know what is possible within the series. Seriously, read that quote again. The sheer galling arrogance on display is suffocating.
