Vitch's background ideas

[AbbotAlf0805]

Like I said on my first post I don't care if two Redwall fans disagree. I just want your ideas on Vitch's past.

[psybox]

then i don't think it was vitch, i feel as though vitch was an adult, and was just unusually small, i'm going to look it up.

[AbbotAlf0805]

Ok then. I think that Vitch was a kid.

[Flandor]

I wasn't disagreeing, I was stating a fact.  Any idea of Vitch being Cluny's son is pure fan speculation because there is nothing in the books to back it up.  I just meant that you shouldn't state it as fact even if it said so on some random site.

[AbbotAlf0805]

Well all opinions are different.

[Flandor]

It's not an opinion... I give up.

[AbbotAlf0805]

Ok whatever. I also read something on a different site that said that the reason Cluny was so demented was because his wife died.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Maybe more people would believe you if you said the names of these sites.
Anyway, Flandor's right. Vitch isn't Cluny's son because there is nothing in the books that says so. People can write fanfictions about it and stuff, but fanfiction is about what might have happened.

Ok then. Thanks Tiria that was the same thing they said but you made it sound not as.. uh.. offensive. But I belive that Vitch is Cluny's son. I just wanted your guy's input on this. Mods you can close this now. *sigh*

[Tiria Wildlough]

I don't think they were offensive.

[AbbotAlf0805]

Well I put a lot of my free time in that research.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Well, we all have opinions. Sorry that you researched all of that for nothing.

[AbbotAlf0805]

*sigh* its ok..

I think it's great that people get involved and spend a lot of time researching things they like.  But it's important to be mindful of the information you're taking in, and to compare facts with multiple places.  It's also good to remember that the best place to look for that sort of information is the books themselves, and since we have that valuable resource available to us, we should make use of it and check our fact against the book first.

For instance, let's say someone says "Nimbalo the Slayer became a snowpea farmer in the Northern Mountains after Deyna settled down in Redwall."
Then someone else says "Hey that's cool, I think I'll spread this around a bit."  Let's face it, as cool as that may be, it's not very likely that Nimbalo moved to the Northern Mountains to grow snowpeas, and the book says nothing about it.  It can be easy to not word something very well and accidentally (or intentionally) start convincing people of things that aren't true, so we should always check our facts against trusted resources.

I get that but if Brian never said that it didn't happen or it did happen it happens in my mind.
