If time travel is possible, and it isn't the "going to another universe" kind, then it would be impossible to do anything that would cause a paradox. You exist in the timeline, therefore any attempts to change that have failed/will fail.

You are making shit up and then saying there are rules?

Time-travel is a narrative device, the rules are what ever the writer decides.

I am saying that this would be a rule for time travel to ever make sense.

Time-travel is a narrative device, the rules are what ever the writer decides.

I am aware of that, but writers could at least put a little thought into it.
