I think before we flame Robin, we should remember that interviews are not perfect things, and we are often misquoted, often with the best of intentions. And while I may not agree with her comments, I would like to point out that she's a good writer, with a good heart, who has done a great many good things for the romance genre, including the entire fundraising effort on behalf of literacy (which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years). If she is now uncomfortable with writing steamy sex in the past, she might have phrased it more delicately, but I don't want to see her lynched because of this.

I know her personally, and she truly is one of the most loving, generous human beings on the planet. I am absolutely sure she meant no harm with her comments.
