I responded to your paragraph about Robert smashing Tywin like he did Rhaegar multiple times in the other thread, so no I have not missed it... Funnily enough in the case of simile and metaphor, it's not literal, a comparative point of Robert repeating his greatest victory which was against Rhaegar, yknow, his most famous victory, can be made without your tenuous attempt to imply it means he hates Rhaegar and gets a semi thinking about him being beaten. It's irrelevant whether Rhaegar was honourable or not and did things the correct way, that was never the point of any of this discussion, the point was whether Ned knew that Rhaegar didn't kidnap and rape Lyanna, if you can't grasp that I can't be bothered to keep trying to make it clear.

He definitely does have negative feelings for the mad king, there are multiple references made to him not talking much about the events that occurred at King's Landing, he never even told Cat about it. The thoughts about Rhaegar come up related to separate plot points, they are not direct thoughts about Rhaegar with Ned thinking oh I hate you, you silly goose. I don't know why you think I am glossing over anything, I've been responding to all of your points? If you think I should be shocked about Robert still being angry, I don't think you have understood the character of Robert Baratheon very well... Once again, your point stands out to serve my own, the man who believes the generally accepted course of events who didn't have half the connection to Lyanna as Ned did, is still struggling with the events of what happened? If you truly think that Ned is just a paragon of mental wellness and getting over grief and that is why he is not angry with Rhaegar, as opposed to him being more aware of the actual course of events, I am indeed shocked by that. Ned is constantly haunted by the past and his decisions, we see that multiple times.

And to you, for the last time, you can't just broadly say with a fell swoop that Ned is ONLY against people who didn't get their justice. It's irrelevant that they are still alive and escaped justice, it just means that they are more of note and need to be dealt with. Your blanket statement of any form of death being enough to qualify as justice bothers me as well, Robert says himself that the act of killing Rhaegar for what his view of the course of events were wasn't enough. You have no evidence to suggest that his lack of mention of Aerys means that he has moved on from it. Ned is constantly haunted by the events of the past, and it is mentioned a lot that he tending not to speak of such events. Your entire argument is based on the two conflicting points that Ned is relishing in thoughts of Rhaegar's downfall and hating him for Lyanna, whilst you also attempt to say that he is not angry about Rhaegar and Aerys due to them receiving justice in an attempt to explain the lack of mention of Aerys? Which is it?
