I'm with you. Not only am I fully against Ron-bashing, but ever since 
GoF came out I've been afraid that fluffiness and angst will soon 
take over the plots of the books. I found the Cho crush really 
annoying and thought that it got in the way of more important things. 
Don't get me wrong, I love fluffy stuff, but I think it belongs in 
(or would rather it stay in) fanfics. I know it's unrealistic for 
Harry's hormone's not to be raging; it should, however, be kept at a 
bare minimum and not take over too much of the plot because, frankly, 
I don't really feel that the books would be the same if three 
quarters of them were all about Harry's stormy relationship with 
Hermione...not even because of the fact that it would involve sex, 
but because the tone of the books has been so different thus far. So, 
in conclusion (now that I've gone off on a semi-unrelated tangent), 
if Ron's going to go bad at all, I -really- hope it's not going to be 
because of some petty crush he has on Hermione. And that's without 
going into my defense-of-Ron tangent (I don't believe he's such a 
horrible person that he'd allow something as stupid as that to pull 
him over to the Dark Side).
