--- In HPforGrownups at yahoogroups.com> > Talisman ranted that 
she  "sees nothing wrong with a little emoting, though  unbridled it 
does become tiresome, and can even tolerate some extempore chatter--
in hopes that it will foster creativity--but really thinks we ought 
to strive to impose some intellectual discipline on our attempts at 
explication."

Admirably restrained magicroxx responded: I usually do so, only with 
the facts from the books and even list page reference, I think I can 
be pardoned this once. 

Talisman, who's been a little snappy ever since she let Snape nibble 
at her neck, replies:

Actually I did notice that you usually provide cites.  Let it 
therefore be known that the final paragraph does not pertain to you, 
personally.  

I can only imagine that your misquote got under my skin because I'm 
currently researching the Snape issue. Then I allowed my long 
standing ire with all the sloppy half-baked posts that one has to 
wade through--and which I usually just sigh and ignore--to bubble to 
the top by the end of the post.

Therefore let my vitriol fall instead upon the heads of those who 
clog up the archives with empty-headed babble and can't be bothered 
to check the text before waxing into totally unsupported tangents 
based on what they think they remember reading six months ago. 
Blah.

Talisman, who's mood is improving, responds:
Bring it on.  Let's hope he gets the DADA position in Books 6 and 
7.  I'd love some nice long revealing sessions with Snape in the hot 
seat.
