This is list culture, to which you have not yet been exposed--probably
because most of the L.O.O.N.s are not very active posters these days. The
reference was not to you, but to me. I am a founding L.O.O.N.

A L.O.O.N. is a member of the League Of Obsessive Nitpickers. The accolade
is bestowed by other L.O.O.N.s, almost always onlist, following the
exhibition of a consistent and lunatic dedication to the details of canon.
See below for an example.

But the statement was that Harry's *teachers* tried to kill him, and at the
point Umbridge sent the dementors, she was not yet his teacher.

See?
