I dunno, man, I once heard this fine-sweetass lesson about turning the other cheek and loving your enemies.
It could've been Jesus who said that. Or Chuck Norris. You know how hazy my religious knowledge is.
People get over stuff, dude. It doesn't make you weak to ignore people and let them think what they want. At latest check of the nifflers forum, everyone is thus far standing behind the notion that it is the quality of the fic being niffled, and everyone seems to be concurring that I made a reasonable and decent choice with your work.
It will take time and effort from both parties to bite their tongues and try and maintain civility. I wouldn't involve myself in HP fandom if I didn't enjoy it or the people around. I enjoy talking to you, Fabio, because despite your almost criminal lack of humility you are smart, and you can be very funny. I like talking to everyone else too. I don't want to be embroiled and take sides, because we moderates tend to pretend that nothing wrong ever happens and just want to coast on in our happy little world of PC-ness and valium.
Thus far I've had a lot of people tell me I made the right choice. People are going to disagree with it, sure. If someone niffled my story where Sirius was an Avril Lavigne fan, I would be the first person to complain about it. Just calm down, and accept that out there, people do appreciate your writing, and if you take the chance to accept the apologies and humility of everyone else, you have the potential to mend some bridges. And shit.
