Well, personally, I disagree with Cindy.  I don't think we need a 
resident bitch.  I don't particularly appreciate the implicit 
association between "bitch" and "curmudgeon," either, but maybe I'm 
being over-sensitive.  But my longtime curmudgeonliness is just my 
trying to add amusing, well-deserved grumpiness to HPfGU, if that 
makes any sense.

And if the above is an example of what a resident bitch would do, I 
*know* we don't need it.  Do we really need to encourage someone who 
thinks it's amusing to argue that Harry is psychological damaged and 
neurotic, so he must be gay?  Or who brags about her ability to 
insult people?  And, especially, who doesn't understand why people 
are offended at her attitudes?

I've been a member of this list for a very long time, and it's 
generally been a friendly place.  Not so, lately.  I know I'd 
appreciate it if returned to being a place where everyone was welcome 
and didn't have to encounter hostility.
