Well a proto-Lupinlore perhaps. Darrin reminds me of the one-eyed cheerleader
who doesn't quite get the rules of the match when it interferes with his
team's success. In the batch I just finished, even old Grey Wolf tried to sit
him down and said "Steady on, old chap! You're throwing logic out the
window...", to no avail, of course. A more violently pro-Harry fan I have not
yet seen.

Well a good spar can be fun for spectators, but I got the impression that
Darrin was rather like Lupinlore in that match, taking it personally,
demanding that his view ie "right-thinking people" prevail with not a shred of
canon behind it, and when this lack of canon was pointed out, decided that
Kneasy was one-eyed! He was clearly baffled by a POV that did not share his
emotive position, entertaining though it might be.

I can understand the style, but a sentiment like "Hermione should've stepped
on her. Screw the glass cage." in reference to Rita Skeeter, doesn't give me
the warm fuzzies and I'm not PC in the least. Then again, when I think of
Dolores Umbridge, I keep picturing the fat Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark I
saying "Keel zem. Keel zem all!" Next to that kind of evil Rita is mundane,
and undeserving of a squishing.

Anyone seen the rubber ring? Who's for a daiquiri?
