I'd say the strength of opinion on this topic varies considerably.  For
example, in the context of the H/He vs R/He debate I've made the occasional
post that would line up with H/He, but I certainly wouldn't throw a tantrum
if Ron and Hermione found true love or if all three of them were paired off
with other people.  I'm basically a no-shipper who only considered this
issue because it became an issue.  Also, IMO, the tone of many of the posts
in this area has been quite light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek even.  It's only
lately that the Montagues and Capulets have begun squaring up to each other.
