Diversity of opinion is the life-blood of the site.The understanding 
of all who read the posting rules is that  members are free, nay 
encouraged, to express views on canon, unpopular or not, 
irrespective of whether another member concurs
with their opinion or not. If that understanding is in error, I want 
to know about it - now.


Alla:

You know what Kneasy, I have had it with public lecturing.

YES, you did misunderstand me and grandly, at that. The poster who 
wrote the previous message seemed to be apologetic for the fact that 
she considers the Dursleys to be funny, while they are horrible .

I was trying to support her, to tell her that it is normal to laugh 
at the characters, while we can also be disgusted at them.

I was not ACCEPTING or JUDGJIN her theory, I was encouraging it.

Do I have YOUR permission to proceed now?

I would love to hear an apology , but I guess I should not be 
holding my breath.

P.S. Apologies to the elves, I know I am going to get an e-mail, but 
I was insulted ON LIST and decided to reply on it.
