This statement seemed to me an effort to cut off discussion of Sirius, the
trio and James/Lily/etc. Sorry if that was not what you meant, but the
statement above kind of implies that you didn't want to hear anymore about
it...after what maybe 3 posts?

I really don't think anyone is portrayed as overly perfect in the
books...isn't THAT what makes these characters interesting enough to spend
hundreds of messages a day on them?

Absolutely...that's exactly  why I took exception to your message.  I felt
like you were trying to limit discussion by saying "enough is enough."

As I said I obviously misinterpreted.
