Alla:

We have to agree to disagree on it, because the books that JKR 
encouraged, mind you not just chose to look the other way to me seem 
to be vastly different from Lexicon book.

But yes we agree on rudely expressed part.

Carol:
 (I've seen equal rudeness directed

Alla:

Of course. I saw it too. And how is that relevant? I saw plenty of 
rudeness towards JKR on Leaky too ( by the posters), just as I saw 
plenty of cool posts and many great links.

I think Leaky is just doing great job as journalists allowing all 
range of opinions and giving as many facts as they can find.


I know one thing - I do love Card's Ender Game and will like it 
always, but oh dear I do not respect him anymore. Not as a private 
person, as public one of course.

And speaking more about Neil Gaiman, his follow up seems to be even 
more neutral, and nailing issues well. Love Neil, love, but why did 
he wrote that screenplay LOL, why :)
