Heh, me too, actually...I usually get really offended by such
"generalizations" as well (if they aren't mine, that is).  Ah well, I
believe everyone is really a bit of a hypocrite anyway.

Actually, that example is exactly the way I feel.  However, I am a bit of a
pessimist, so I am unsure as to whether this is a sign that canon actually
points towards a R/H relationship, or if it's just me assuming that it will
not turn out "right".
