Exuse me! I have met some very vocal R/H shippers which is why I sometimes make it clear that I'm an H/H and try to explain some of the reasons why, i didn't want H/H to be under represtented which, though not in this group, happens in other groups and Harry Potter related sites.  So i don't think R/H are the quiter ones, some of the most devoted to H/H shippers i know don't shout out their views.  Both sets of shippers have there quite and vocal people.

(I'm not mad or anything i just wanted to make my thoughts on that clear)
