Katie (anigrrrl2 at yahoo.com) responds:
  Look, I am not looking to get into an argument with you or anyone else who feels that they don't like J.K. Rowling for whatever reasons. As I always say, everything is "In my humble opinion" and I try never to antagonize people on lists. I thought I was being pretty reasonable, and there's no reason to get snippy.

  I wasn't explaining why YOU had to like J.K. ----- I was explaining why I respect and admire her. As I see it, whatever her personality is like has no bearing on the gift that she'd given to me, to my friends, and to my future children by creating this character and his world. And I don't think the last two books were sloppy. I thought they were complicated, difficult, and dark...as adolescence often is. I feel the books have only grown and gotten better...HBP is easily my favorite book. However ----- I am in no way saying that is how YOU should feel. I am simply expressing my oh-so-humble opinion, and I am certainly not looking to get into a bickering match. So, let's let bygones be bygones, and declare peace amongst the pro and anti J.K. factions. 

  In my humble opinion, Katie
