Stouffer and her lawyers are probably everything that everyone on the
list says they are.  But that's no excuse for offensive name-calling.

And I-was-provoked-so-I-had-to-respond? Come on. Would JKR let Ron or
Harry or Hermione get away with that?  One of the great things about
these books is the lack of passivity in its children characters. 
They have choices to make about they way they react and they make the
right ones even if that is not immediately the most gratifying. 
(Otherwise Draco Malfoy would have been made to eat his own head way
back in Book One.)

I don't know about the rest of you but I've got enough stress and
pressures in my own life without getting steamed about something in
JKR's.  So let her lawyers handle it (they'll be paid enough).
