    It's a story, it's fiction not math! Fun with fiction requires that you suspend your disbelief and anal eye.... I really don't know what the big deal is and neither do I. Jeepers.

    King may be very aware of things that his characters have no knowledge of. If the characters don't know, the story will reflect that.

The characters act and speak as the characters should.

    I'm always slightly amazed that a nit picker, especially an admitted one, usually has a problem with having their nits, picked.
    Now our esteemed Robert Gray is one of the best nit pickin' nit pickers I've ever had the pleasure of reading, on here or anywhere, you won't get much past him, of that I can assure you.
    His logic is impeccable in my opinion, his knowledge of a particular text he may choose to discuss is as good, if not better, as anyone on here, and his ability to get to the crux of a nits narrative, and pickin' it with his own nit pickin' nuance, is simply outstanding...he's the pickers pick, nit picker, peach picker, or nose picker, is what I'm sayin'.
    Got a nit to pic with nits needin' picked, he's your nit pickin' nit picker to pick, for the nit pickin' of nit pickin' nit pickers...somethin' like that.

    He, nor this board, deserved that little trolling shot in my opinion, and I figure if someone doesn't wish to get picked to get their nits picked, then pickin this joint for some SK nit pickin', might not be such a great pick for publically pickin' your nits (and ya know, there's probably a few states might could give ya 3 - 5 for it too).
    But if a lively conversation, and an intelligent exchange of ideas and thoughts, is the cotton pickin' idea (which to be honest, that there intelligent part mostly leaves me out), then you've picked the right place...you pick.

    The low men live even here on Kings MB I see. All apologies for my "trolling" comment. I'm new and am used to arguing with lame brains and jerks elsewhere on the savage internet. It appears this MB is a decent place with a select group of good natured people which in itself is a testament to King. I appreciate that all the Kings men (and women) will rush to his defense when attacked. I often do the same when hearing others call Kings works "pedestrian" or "hack writing". King has enough critics without inviting more by making mistakes like the one I meant to point out. I know it was a different time so it can be forgiven and I'll move on to bigger nits. glad to have found this forum

    I am a bit shocked that Sombra Corp would contract with a cyber-hitman to attempt to discredit Sai King on his own message board.
