By pedestal, you mean to say I think children can do no wrong, and should not be taught right from wrong? Certainly not. As for me seeing Sansa as being sweet and innocent, I don't think anything I said came off that way. I said she was a selfish child (and I will add miserable).
When I've seen grown women, and a few men, act completely irrationally because of their emotions, can I understand a child being ruled by hers? Yes. When you're blinded by emotion, it is impossible to see things clearly. Does that exscuse her? Ofcourse not.
But there are many more disfavorable people in the series I should think.
I was mad as hell for what she did, and what happened to Ned because of it; but I forgave her for being selfish. Why won't you?
It's your opinon and I'll stop making a fight out of it, I can hardly remember the intricacies of the story to tell the truth, so everything is probably not straight in my head. (By big picture, I meant the desperate situation Eddard was in.)
