I have no idea if she wears a pointy black hat and cackle. Could be, maybe she likes Harry Potter.
I really don't understand some here. Is it really impossible to discuss facts without reverting to their inter Ring Lardner ("Shut up, he explained") or resorting to mocking. Rhetoric 101 says when the facts don't back you up, then use emotion. That might impress an audience, but it doesn't make for a very rational discussion. So far, this thread has had most of the standard rhetoric devices and fallacies used. Mocking, straw man arguments and flocking. You would think that literary people would be a bit above all that.

You have presented no facts to back you up, just insisted that you presented them before and that the proof can be found on internet if people would just look hard enough.
