You know Geoff I've got to say your words do not move me, not one bit,
and I will tell you why. If there is anyone this group should have
shown camaraderie toward it is JKR, but she received none, instead for
the last few months this group has treated her with great disrespect,
a prominent member of this group came right out and said "I have lost
all respect for her". And who criticized her for saying something so
hateful against the person who has given us such joy for so many
years? Just me, nobody else, just me. Lets call a spade a spade, this
group has treated JKR like dirt for the last several months, and you
should all be ashamed of yourself, especially the moderators who did
nothing while the group degenerated to this point.    

And who would be the second most insulted person this group has aimed
their sights on? Well that would be me. And my crime? Being just about
the only one willing to publicly defend JKR. I said before I think
this demonstrates an appalling smallness of spirit, and I stand by
that statement.
