Oh, that everyone else spoke their words with your calmness and lack of mean-spiritedness.
I can certainly agree that that JKR didn't respect the wishes of some fans, but it's an entirely different thing to label her a homophobe or to wish ill on her or her baby daughter. Or to say she's involved in human rights abuses or slavery. At some level I think people need to draw the line between what's polite, reasonable and opinioned and what's rude, libellous and hateful.
As for her being smacked while writing the books, I do agree, though it seems to show through for the better for me.
