Your point is well taken, Magda. 

In defense of myself and others in this group, though, if you read the 
claims Stouffer makes on her site, you might understand better the 
level of anger her claims tend to generate among HP readers. It is 
pretty outrageous, and blatantly opportunistic. While I would agree 
that stooping to that level might not be edifying, I can hardly call 
Stouffer an innocent victim. I think the person who came here to post 
about her was indeed baiting us.

I unwisely nibbled the bait. I can of course choose not too, and would 
prefer not to because, frankly, I prefer to talk about the books. 

What it really comes down to is what kind of response works well 
vs. what just keeps the bad feeling circulating. It is easy to 
"react"-- it is wiser to laugh it off and not let people push the 
emotional buttons.

Perhaps a good "ridiculous" charm would help? *smile*

Thank you for your input.
