Kaylee here: 

Tonks makes some great points, and I agree completely with her and Renee. 
Especially about the "gay" thing being everywhere...and I don't believe Remus 
is a pedophile. Males have a "do not touch" thing, that is true. I never read 
any evilness either...I wonder where all this idea of ESE!Lupin came from. 
Could anyone direct me to whoever began that thread? 

Kaylee, hoping no one thwaps her for a "me too" post, but also hoping it 
doesn't get rejected
