Ah, right.

My point, really, is not that it's weird for her to expect hate mail - 
she will get that whatever she says, because fans locked in mortal 
combat will scapegoat her for not backing *their* side - but that it's 
odd that she cites the probability of getting hate mail as a reason 
for playing things close to her chest.  It's not like she's never done 
that before, is it?

What will happen now is that some fans will say "How dare she accuse 
us of sending hate mail! I'm going to write and explain why I'm 
leaving fandom forever because she has ruined my life! I hate her!"
