A New Rita Skeeter "Story" From J.K. Rowling

[rattlesnakeroot]

So JKR has posted a new story on Pottermore as Rita Skeeter, apparently!

If you don't have a Pottermore account, or if yours has been unfairly deleted, you can read the complete story on Today

...but I have no other way of talking to you or defending myself without being cut short.

This is Epilogue. Today on the What in the World thread, you said this to me:

"Epilogue: Olwen told you last night that if you keep posting new threads you would get a warning. I saw your "Poll of Polls" thread and it was deleted. So this is your first Warning. Do not make anymore threads or you will face consequences, possibly banning."

You said that post was a "first warning." But I didn't see it before posting my next thread and I didn't see Olwen's warning (posted shortly after yours) until after I was banned. My warning level, as far as I noticed, never went above 0%. I had no way of knowing I was receiving a first warning, second warning, or final warning. (Actually, you and Olwen contradict each other on what were my first and final warnings. I gave up trying to figure it out.) Before you think the worst of me -- well, you will do that anyway -- but before you believe something that is not true, you should know I was ignorant of your posts and would have acted differently if I had seen them.

This is not an apology, in case you got that impression, but an explanation. Frankly, I think you have been astonishingly biased and heavy-handed. You have allowed your prejudices, and not common sense, to direct you. It is not my intention to offend (naturally, you won't believe that) but I wouldn't even bother saying it if I didn't think there was some chance you might see the truth in it.... unlike Olwen, who is completely blinded with hate, and subtle science, who appears to be a sociopath. But I suppose this is all moot... it will not be long before the HPN fizzles out anyway. I wish it all could end on a happier note. Anyway, have a nice life.
