Sandy:

I am not aware of anyone attacking Rowling personally. I made the statement 
that I don't like her, which is NOT an attack, it is merely stating my personal 
opinion of her. Although I have flat-out refused to state my reasons for my 
feelings it has instigated a flaming anyway. She is a public personna, not 
everyone is going to like her, nor does everyone have to like her. The fact that 
she has created Harry Potter does not mean she walks on water. Not every word 
that comes out of her mouth is a profound revelation. I admire her work - or at 
least most of it -- I just don't necessarily admire her. This is not a 
personal attack, it is a personal preference. And one that I am totally entitled to 
have and to say I have without being berated for. I don't do that to her 
legions of worshippers. I don't even remember how the subject came up but I should 
have known better than to say I don't like her. It's not like I haven't been 
through this before. I am one of the biggest HP fanatics there is but because I 
don't personally like JKR I should be burned at the stake. Geeze.
