Heh. I had to keep a couple for when I want to snark or shout at canon :-)
I never went through an ashamed period, myself, for whatever reason. I know I have the right to interpret a book any way I like as long as I can support it with evidence from the texts. I tend to ignore most of the wank, especially when I make my reasonable posts and the only thing that comes back is along the lines of "JKR SAID SO!!!" or "READ THE BOOKS AGAIN!" without any coherent counterarguments. And I do limit the majority of my online time to H/Hr-friendly territory precisely because I don't want to waste my time arguing with people who won't listen to possibilities.
