I'm sorry. I am a cow at the moment, and I have no excuse.
I have to say that I think that these are going to get out of hand, with bashing to members as well as the ships. I don't think I'm gonna come here any more, in case I get into trouble with mods. I sound like a wuss, don't I?

Your just doing the smart thing. I'm staying because I defend my stuff and I don't care if I get banned for a while, I will take the risk of that to support what I believe.

Re: Anit Thread: (H/Hr) Because It'd be akward and weird.
I was too lazy to read the rest of the thread ( :P ), but I'd like to throw in my two sensible cents.
I'm a H/Hr shipper, and I'll counter those points.
1) Hermione loves both Harry and Ron.
2) Harry had just been in a relationship with her, and broke up with her to protect her! She's a friend, AND an 'ex'. They're both young teenagers, and young love happens VERY RARELY.
They say that best friends make the best lovers. Ron, and Hermione are his best friends, and he thinks only of them being with him on his journey with him, and Ginny was nowhere in his mind when he thought about that. They could be the last people he holds dear to him that he could ever see. So you might say, 'He loves Ginny and wants to protect her.' He loves Ron and Hermione too! HE ALWAYS ends up protecting the two, and Ginny wasn't paid much attention to UNTIL the 6th book, leaving her so called 'character development' out of the question.
3) Awkward and weird? For Ron, it was "Awkward and Weird" to have his best friend dating his baby sister. And if Ron were to date Hermione, it would be "awkward and weird" to Harry too, wouldn't you think? In the book it even said he was afraid that if the two got together, their friendship might be destroyed, leaving him torn.
4) Harry tried to talk to Hermione. Because of the sudden character change, she didn't give him the oppertunity, only because of her fury towards Ron when he tried to patch theings up between the two.
Notice in GOF. Who was Hermione with the majority of the book? HARRY. She could've easily gone off to Ron and sided with him, yet her loyalty guided her to Harry.
5) Hermione helped Ron onto the team because, she didn't like McLaggen, Ron is one of her best friends and she was practically doing Harry a favour, and Harry was already ON the team.
6) I personally love Ron's character, I really do. But it seems he DID need all the help he could get.
7) Harry only tells Ron things because he's a guy. Maybe there are some things he'd rather keep in between the two, keep it man to man, or maybe he's afraid of Hermione's reaction to what he might not tell her. Ron's more carefree and easy going, while Hermione is strict about her friends' wellfare.
As you can see, there's always a flipside to everything.
P.S. I respect your ship, and will not bash you at all, in fact, there are many sensible Herons out there who understand what we're going through with all the critisism, jokes, and bashing going on. I'd just like you to know that only SOME of our shipmates are as ignorant as some of YOURS are.
I'm still hanging on to what hope I have left for my ship, and won't give up, no matter what people say about my ship.
Good points hyof...................
NOT!
REPORTED!
and so are you nastyy......
B.T.W. Jo already said H/Hr isn't gonna happen. LINK!!! (about 2/3 down)
Also she said as early as 1999 that Harry and Hermione were purely platonic (nonsexual) friends.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: ES: We thought it was clearer than ever that Harry and Ginny are an item and Ron and Hermione — although we think you made it painfully obvious in the first five books —
JKR: [points to herself and whispers] So do I!
ES: What was that?
JKR: [More loudly] Well so do I! So do I!
[All laugh; Melissa doubles over, hysterical, and may have died.]
ES: Harry/Hermione shippers - delusional!
JKR: Well no, I'm not going to - Emerson, I am not going to say they're delusional! They are still valued members of my readership! I am not going to use the word delusional. I am however, going to say — now I am trusting both of you to do the spoiler thing when you write this up —
[More laughter.]
JKR: I will say, that yes, I personally feel - well it's going to be clear once people have read book six. I mean, that’s it. It’s done, isn’t it? We know. Yes, we do now know that it's Ron and Hermione. I do feel that I have dropped heavy -
[All crack up]
JKR: - hints. ANVIL-sized, actually, hints, prior to this point. I certainly think even if subtle clues hadn't been picked up by the end of “Azkaban,” that by the time we hit Krum in Goblet...
Gender: Female Location: And Why is It Important to you?
Harry And Hermione-NO WAY. JK rolling even said that they were JUST (Key Word) Just Friends. and It would Be Absoultly Revolting to See Dan Kiss Emma in the movies. I Mean Out of every British Actor Ever on screen, Daniel Radcliff is the most revolting actor, I Could Go on all day ppl
Gender: Female Location: between rebellion & sanity
Harry / Hermione is definitely impossible!!!
In book 6 to quote Harry (thought to himself) when he saw Ron and Hermione engaging in a romantic conversation:
"Harry always knew that Ron and Hermione would be an item... but that made him ask where it left him..."
Harry already accepted it... thereby giving a silent rule: "Hermione is off-limits." Besides Gryffindors value loyalty right? I don't think Harry would betray his best mate by snogging Ron's secret love...
>>>note: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Harry is crazy about Ginny read it in book 6...
Yeah, it's kind'a ridiculous that they don't think so. I mean, almost everyone, even the cast and crew of Harry Potter think Ron and Hermione will get together, not Harry and Hermione. (Not to mention Daniel Radcliffe always brags about it. You'd think that Dan found the whole Ron and Hermione relationship was more interesting than his own character from the way he acts about it, for crying out loud! ) It's so obvious! I'm surprised that there are actually still people who disagree with that!

NO! DON"T YOU.... Shit... now they are going to ***** over that like the thing when they thought JKR was calling them delusional, IT WASN"T HER, IT WAS THE PEOPLE ASKING HER!

Anyway, it is definitely NOT a H/Hr. The H/Hr shippers should kind of READ BOOK 4 + 6 AGAIN!
) It's so obvious! I'm surprised that there are actually still people who disagree with that!
