Anger towards JKR (was Re: Great group / Quoted text)

[arielock2001]

Susan McGee and I (Arianna) were discussing DH, and wound up talking about two totally 
different things:

Arianna:
Actually, Susan, I think I see now what you originally meant.  

This afternoon I read more of the posts than I normally do and one poster (that I had not 
read before) did give me pause.  I suspect that Susan was referring specifically to one or 
two list members, NOT to the large group of people who disliked DH and are 
disappointed/
annoyed/whatever at the outcome of the series. 

Let me know if we are now on the same page, Susan, 'cause I think your original post was 
of the "If you think this unstable person might be you, then it's not" variety.

Unfortunately, if the one or two people in question are emotionally unstable and are (how 
shall I put this delicately), reading the series as though it were a documentary or The 
Newer Testament, there is really no way to calm them down.  I don't think the list elves can 
really do anything about it.

TV soon, 'cause that was a really funny movie...)
