Are you saying that people are supposed to read posts before they reply to them?
I wouldn't call it a mess though because those threads don't have a single topic unlike here, so everyone pretty much posts whatever they have to say. There is no need to stay on topic because there isn't one.
Lol. I've found it beneficial to read posts before replying, yes

For me, the issue becomes one where posters at Westeros (us SAers included), if they do recognize the state of affairs as you write, are in such a hurry to write
their perspective, that everyone's posts quickly read ignorant and oblivious (essentially infinite variations of "nuh-uh, he said this, it says this,"
even when they agree with one another, or you know, are provided with the
actual quotation).
Again, my main gripe is that thread will receive 15-20 replies a day (if not many more), whereas this whole forum receives under 10 posts, maybe...
What a waste of energy. It could all be directed here where the monument of our efforts will stand tall, on strong and rigorous foundations.
Yeah, it's possible that he's not even with the consult now. But if I may add one more question to your list, is it "Mekeritrig" or "Mekertrig"? or is Mekertrig the twin brother of Mekeritrig?
My book has both of those version.
I'm sure it is only supposed to be one of them and that they are the same person, the Nonman Cet'ingira, who is named Mekeritrig (Mantraitor), I believe during the First Apocalypse (I'd have to check the TTT Glossary).
Also, if this is an obvious mistake like some people claim over there... Wouldn't he just say so if someone asked him about it? I mean many authors admit they've given contradictory info between books, even when the series is not yet finished.
I remember Bakker explicitly saying that there are a number of continuity errors throughout TSA that he missed during editing. However, as for what is topical over at Westeros, I don't remember (off the top of my head) any direct reference to those supposed errors.
I often find it fairly indicative of something when there is
so much opinion written yet
so little evidence cited
