That's not entirely true; most statements in regards to a character's personality and motivations is educated guesswork, because such details must be deduced by their actions and statements. I understand and agree though: needless speculation should be avoided. I was trying to say that regardless of who was responsible for the deaths of Ronan's ancestors (i.e. it is possible that either Xandar or Hala started the war), his retribution was regarded by the other characters as disproportionate, which is fact. We know very little about the Nova Empire - Kree Empire War, unfortunately, even though the outcome was an important motivating factor for Ronan, and I wanted to acknowledge its importance to understanding the character but I didn't do a very good job (plus some of what I said was redundant), so I'm very happy Bratpack fixed it. :)  I have no idea whether we'll learn more about the war in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or Infinity Wars, but it would be interesting since it seems like that war influenced the current geopolitical situation in the galaxy.
