Although I would not agree with it, saying you don't enjoy the book is
not screwy; However claiming that JKR has become power mad and using
perfectly innocuous interviews of her as "proof" of it seems pretty
screwy to me.

And saying you've lost all respect for someone and she is an example
of the Peter Principle in action seems pretty vitriolic to me.

You are absolutely correct, but by the same token I have a right to
say those opinions are ridiculous.

Eggplant, who is nonplussed at the intense rage over some tiny
inconsistencies even if most of them were real (they're not) and
thinks there must be something more at work here; and who has a hunch
that the anger would be a bit less if JKR had just said Dumbledore was
straight.
