This site talks about romance novels and the romance genre. This includes the status of the genre as compared to other genres and the issues facing the romance genre. Whenever anyone puts out their thoughts for public consumption, whether by posts on a message board, interviews, essays or novels, then those thoughts and positions are subject to discussion.

By RLH participating in an interview for a paper intended for public consumption, the story based on the interview came to be one subject to discussion and what the subject (in this case RLH) and interview is stating about the romance genre.

Truthfully if you had a point to make it was lost in the nastiness of your posts. Lesson one: alienating the person with the opposing view by nastiness will guarantee that such person will ignore any point you are trying to make. Take a page out of RLH's book. She responded to the posts and criticism about the interview but never once did she denigrate to rudeness or nastiness. Though I may not agree with her views, I will at least read what she wrote due to the fact that she explained her position clearly and concisely without any rudeness or nastiness in her tone.
