way other minorities are treated in the WW - even Muggles and 
mudbloods. Add dear Dolly (by Centaurs) plus other odds and ends and 
there's almost nobody who doesn't get maltreated (a slight 
exaggeration, but I recently had a post where somebody was 
fulminating about ill-treating dragons at the TWT "How dare they burn 
their eyes like that!").Takes all sorts.

Carolyn:
Twit - I didn't mean to imply that I assumed that Snape was in the 
wrong. Clearly the nutters are getting to you. I just meant to refer 
to criticisms of teaching methods used at Hogwarts and used him as an 
example because of the recent heated debate on the topic. The code 
should just be called 'Teaching methods', and leave it neutral for 
arguments for- and against- any of the teachers to be coded to it.

I've just spent an hour or so cobbling various posts together in a 
furious invective against all sorts of similar stupidities related to 
your 'Which Way' post, but ultimately couldn't find a way of phrasing 
it in any way that would be acceptable on the list. Decided to pursue 
subversion by other methods, but was heartened that one or two people 
clicked to the possibility of dark British satire going on.
