If I remember right, I basically pointed out that George is fairly lenient about how people play in his sandbox, and that slashers didn't just pop out of the woodwork after she wrote her books: they've been around since the first Star Wars film hit the theaters in 1977. I also expressed disappointment on behalf of friends of mine who are (or were) big fans of hers, that she handled the issue the way she did. She could have made her points without such a thinly veiled homophobic angle.

Ah well. In a sea of comments, it's no skin off my back. In the end, it was her own words that needed to be seen, and they have.

Feeling better, thanks! This winter has gone on far too long.
