You have given yourself away when you used the expression "more than friendship". What an extraordinary idea: that a voluntary sharing of mind and destiny, that can be lifelong and that enlarges the mind and the soul of each of its members, is somehow "less than" a storm of sexual desire. Do at least use the expression "something else than", and you will not be suspect of doing exactly what I charged Marauder slash authors with - downgrading and insulting the emotion of friendship, which is one of the highest and noblest things in life.
This is a short answer because I do not have much time. Maybe I will give a more extensive one later. Meanwhile, thanks for treating me courteously in spite of the fact that we disagree so widely on such basic matters.
