I do not blame you for defending your friend. (I have one or two other friends who have NM and MM on their f-list.) I do however not accept that I said anything offensive on that passage (which she misquoted: the "both wings broken" item is her invention). And she obviously wanted to find something, anything to be offended at. All I said is that I have an objection to hitting someone who is already hurting; I have not even said that I will not do any hitting - since as a matter of fact there has been another passage-of-arms between us.
I will not even comment on the matter of disability. For personal reasons, that is a very sensitive spot with me. Just take the hint where I said that I had a little to do with disabled and pro-life groups, and don't bring up the subject again. That Molly Moon went out of her way to misunderstand and misrepresent what I said does not surprise me; that you should take her at her word does.
"Misunderstanding on both sides????" What, exactly, of the concept of "witch-hunt" can be misunderstood? These people tried so hard to understand me that they filled both my threads and my LJ with hate mail of the vilest kind. A little of that, believe me, goes a long way.
"As for Narcissa Malfoy, you may perhaps be interested to know" that she has stated in so many words that she is not disposed to see any kind of defence of me on her F-list. That being the case, any attempt to present her attitude as other than it is is plainly doomed. And I have had an opportunity to see how she deals with her friends, which makes me feel that being her enemy is the safer option.

Finally, why don't you read GAY BAR for yourself before listening to the views of others? http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2026608/1/
