Alla:

Well, I mentioned it before, but this is good moment to mention it 
again. I think Leaky provides excellent excellent coverage of this 
case, yes despite being on JKR side. And they link to all articles, 
positive or negative.

I read those links. I found what Orson Card wrote to be loads of 
uninformed crap and RUDE to boot. Not that some of the responses to his 
article on Leaky to him were not rude as well of course.

I can only second the everybody has a right to express an opinion, but 
please check your facts first Mr. Card.

And eh, I disagreed with Neil Gaiman opinion on this case for the most 
part too, which is also linked on Leaky, but I loved loved the way he 
expressed it. And I loved his follow up as well, he expressed his 
sympathies, but he presented the underlying reasoning, he is wonderful, 
Neil Gaiman of course.

Card though - yes, I believe jealousy of JKR shines through very 
clearly. My opinion of course and only my opinion.
