It's a plenty friendly place for fans of Shu. Your problem is that you're trying to label everyone based on your initial discussion with them. Anybody who takes a strong stance in favor of a kingdom is going to be in for a debate here. That's not because people don't like them; it's because they've got a strong view in a forum with people who like all three kingdoms and others who try to do balanced research. Also, you're in for so much debate because you're drawing some pretty dramatic conclusions and arguing them as fact.

And this is just another form of labeling.

Sanguozhi, as old as it documented, there are MANY MANY other historical documents on the THree Kingdoms era, not just Chen Shou's book. Many different points of views on the despicble era.
Personal insults are going to start collecting warnings. Just a friendly warning.
I'll pass on using a Jehovah's Witness site to describe the bible to me, thank you.
Chen Shou's work is by far one of the most reliable and balanced works on the era.

Rich egomaniacs? Liu Bei has a long biography because he's the ruler of Shu. Zhuge Liang has a long biography because he was, perhaps, the single most important member of Shu aside from Liu Bei, and his involvement influenced aspects of the kingdom almost everywhere you looked. Zhao Yun was simply not so involved.

That was my point.
SilentNinja wrote:So, what's your point of view?
On what? You jumped between about five topics in that response.
SilentNinja wrote:No, because our knowledge of Sun Shang Xiang is quite limited.
That's your problem, not mine. She's a WOMAN....
I included my original quote here for the sake of contrast to your own. What on earth do you mean by this? If you want to draw conclusions about Lady Sun's history you should base those conclusions on history. We're not writing a fan fiction here. If you want to tell us about her personality, the lack of history to back your view is your problem.
SilentNinja wrote:You can't be serious....I already relate a few things how. Forget it, lets drop it. And have people believe Liu Bei's attack on Yi ling was justifible.
If you want to convey a point of view you should actually flesh it out, rather than rant and assume people can read your mind. You're portraying the Yiling attack as a knee-jerk reaction but fact is, it wasn't. Liu Bei had a long time to think about and plan that attack. It may very well have been for revenge, or perhaps simply because Liu Bei no longer felt he could trust Wu. It was a bad move (just as it was a bad move for Wu to attack Guan Yu in the first place) but the novel makes many assumptions to tell its story. That's fine, by the way--it's a story.
SilentNinja wrote:Are you going to say the Bible is a myth and not historical even if you wanted to know Jehovah?
If you want to debate Jehovah's Witnesses, there's a thread for that. You'll find people to be even less tolerant of emotional assumptions and unfounded conclusions there, though.
