If you're not angry, then why be so rude?  Personally, I'm not 
offended by your arguments, just the way you demean everyone you 
argue against by stereotyping and slandering.  Most people refuse to 
respond to you because they find you highly offensive.

I see.  We (the Snape!vampire group) commit (in your opinion) the 
huge mistake of never responding in full to your posts (even though 
we have).  You, on the other hand, are allowed to freely attack one 
(or no) argument at a time and then rudely dismiss the person and 
look for high fives from your buds.  I often get the feeling you do 
not actually read previous posts.  This confirms it.  Example: Snape 
having a wand.  Yes, two different people have already offered canon 
refuting that.  For example, Hagrid isn't allowed to have a wand 
(according the the Ministry), but something appears to be in his 
umbrella.  In addition, just because something is against the "law" 
doesn't mean DD would shy away from it.  If Snape is a vampire than 
clearly few others know (not the MoM, that's for sure).  

To be honest, I can't think of a single argument of yours that hasn't 
been addressed (by canon) more than once.  You keep saying it 
hasn't.  But it has.  You keep saying we don't give any reasons for 
this being important.  No, we have.  You just didn't read them.

Sorry to get highten my tone, but I'll only put up with bullying so 
long.  I have tried (in the past) to bring this conversation back to 
a civil level and hope it can still be.
