<Then I realized something.  We haven't been communicating the terms
of the ship debate very well.  You see, the H/Hers want the R/Hers to
synthesize all the GoF quotes into theories and postulates.  The
H/Hers aren't as interested in your list of facts as they are in
conclusions that can be defended according to logic.

The R/Hers, on the other hand, don't care about our theories.  To
them, all our theories, all the extrapolated trends we can point to
in fan writing, all our anecdotes, and all our "gut feelings" are
bunk... if not sheer insanity.  I do believe that the Ron/Hermione
camp wants to knows want to know exactly what JKR wrote *in canon*
that rings the H/H bell in our minds... chapter and verse.  Am I
correct?>

No. Not from over here, anyway. I am a believer in "gut feelings", etc., I 
think that with some logic and some text, you can make one hell of an 
argument with them. There *is* no cannon romance yet; asking for where 
exactly you see exaples of H/H is insane. All I have ever wanted is to know 
is *why* you see it the way you do. Then again, as R/Hers go, I seem to be 
quite the freak.

Part of this statement makes me think of one of my shipper opinions (about 
the people, not characters). Cassie will hurt me if I use the "cool kid" 
thing, so....H/Hers seem like they are just more pulled together and suave 
about things than R/H shippers, who are more like country bumpkins to the 
H/H city slickers. And that's not ment as a R/H slam, it's just the 
sterotype. *wince* Don't take that in the wrong way. Damn, I think I need to 
use the Cool Kid thing as a clarifacation. H/H seem like the "cool kids" on 
the perverbial Shipper playground. They are the famous ones (Cassandra, 
Lori, Carole, Ebony, Sue, Penny, etc.). Meanwhile, R/Hers are the 
slightly-less-than-popular kids [and then there's the Draco/Harry shippers, 
who are the stoners of the playground. Woah, dude].

And Ebony - the after potions test, post-chess thing? I have no clue what 
reference that one was to... Help?
