Cacaia:
Wow...I don't quite understand why the recent threads attacking
Rowling personally. Someone mentioned the 'weight issue'. Did that
fire things up? Indeed, the 'weight issue' is a problem in our
society-a prominent problem...I actually thought her 'venting' was
accurate, as I myself share that view...BUT...by admitting that, will
people attack ME for detesting anorexia and the nastiness of the
media??? How can one dislike a person who seems to advocate human
rights amongst other things????? I just don't get it- This is just
IMO, anyway....
