I concur (on the agreeing to disagree).  The problem of
liking/disliking Fleur is a matter of perspective.  From what I
gathered from reading all the emails, it isn't a matter of facts; no
one argues about specific actions of Fleur's; instead, people are
arguing whether the actions are good or bad based on how they perceive
it.

I was a relatively well-behaved child who grew up into a relatively
stodgy adult.  I guess, coming from that perspective, I am more
willing to forgive the reactions of others when their culture is not
the same as my own.  Oh well.

It was (and still is) a good discussion, though.  It never even
occurred to me that people might genuinely dislike Fleur, and it was
good hearing all the reasons that people stated. :)
