Del, I understand perfectly where Marietta comes from. I just refuse 
to sympathise with said course of action. I also would like to 
disagree with the contention that WW is a democracy or had ever 
been  a democracy.

I would like to refer you to Nora Renka's excellent essay "Why 
Voldemort was a fascist?", if of course you hadn't had a chance to  
read it yet. Post number is 108672 (it is among the recommended 
posts too) I wonder whether WW has ever been a democracy.

Alla:


Well, there are could be mitigating circumstances, but I don't think 
it is arbitrary to condemn her based on what she DID without knowing 
what happened in her head.
