Betsy, I want to suggest that when you say that JKR is evil, that
you are really attacking her...saying that she is not a bright
bulb is a comment that would not be tolerated on this list by
the list elves if you said it about me. I am in an incredible
minority who thinks that Ms. Rowling should be treated as well
as anyone on this list. The List Elves do not agree, so I am
suppressed.... oh well...

Evil? You really think Ms. Rowling is evil? In my own humble
opinion that seems to be a little over the edge.....

Betsy, this is an example of how I think Ms. Rowling is not being
treated with the same respect that anyone on this list is entitled
to...

When you say " Looking at her bank balance might help..."..To me,
this means that she is a rich jerk who is entitled to any vitriol
that anyone might dish out? No?
