I'm not generally annoyed with Rowling.  In fact, I recall defending
her writing, to you. (Perhaps I should post that response I wrote
vis-a-vis your genre ideas, after all. Didn't want to bore the other
listies, but as things are going...)

Nope, I'm generally defending Rowling, as an author.  But, I reserve
the right to notice when she's drunk on her own celebrity and
tottering into the shrubbery.

Shut yer yap wench, and show me the book.

Umm, on behalf of her daughters. She's the one who raised the idea
of her daughters vs Paris-style Stupid Girls.

Owe, Shmo.  She can behave anyway she wants to.  In fact, the one
point of interest to be taken from the message is that she doesn't
care a fig what any fan lobby thinks.  Let's hope.  Let her be just
as stinky when the Snape-haters eat crow, too.  I'll be loving it.
Doesn't change the nature of the behavior, though.

If she'd rather reveal who she is than the plot of Book 7, then
that's what I'll notice.

Apparently she's as rude as I am.

Melissa and Emerson are kids.

Wouldn't know.  I'm not here for the popularity contests.
