So you didn't like OotP.

Maybe you hated it. Maybe you wished to cast an Unforgivable at JKR.

Fine. I'm a libertarian so, somehow, it manages to affect me not 
whether you liked it, loathed it, loved it or were monumentally 
indifferent to it. It really doesn't matter why, either. Maybe you 
wished Mundungus Fletcher came into his heroic own. Maybe you wanted 
Harry to go into group therapy. Maybe you wanted Snape and Sirius to 
move to the wine country and open a quaint inn. You don't have to 
(but are naturally free to do so) justify your dislike for OotP, you 
don't have to be defensive about it. Similarly, you ought accept 
those who loved it and those who thought it was pretty good.

After all, isn't tolerance for divergent opinions a key aspect of 
the series?

Of course, within the bounds of civilized exchanges, we may disagree 
on the particulars, and even debate them.

But as for me, I have better things to do (such as plow through 
eleventy zillion posts) than figure out why someone may disagree 
with me.
