#and will undoubtedly ignore liam's recent statement that orym's nod wasn't about giving tacit approval for delilah to come back

[burr-ell]

I'd be remiss not to point out that "Orym's lying to himself about revenge" basically rests on an argument from ignorance—people who make this argument are acting like it's true because it hasn't been proven false, both because this is an ongoing story and things change and because no one here is actually a mind-reader who can falsify it once and for all. It's a logical fallacy, to be clear.

But it's also just another example of which statements the fandom will cherrypick and parade around (Laura thinks the glasses are cute! Matt liked my tweet about Imogen!) and which ones get conveniently ignored. Liam has now said both in and out of character—more than once—that Orym's not out for revenge; he's trying to honor the memory of his lost loved ones; and that the Ruby Vanguard's goals will never be worth the slaughter they're inflicting. If that's not factoring into the discussion, then the discussion simply is not worth anyone's time.
