Yeah, that sums it up for me... the thing about Team LKH is that when we read their stuff we have to filter it into:
a) What their ill-chosen words said b) The message they intended to get across
And I'm willing to criticise their way of getting that statement across and their usual tendency to accuse the wrong people and conflate disappointed fans with dangerous weirdos, but I'm never going to criticise someone for being upset that their family got that kind of disturbing attention. I can't imagine anyone coming right out and saying, "I don't care that this happened to you" in other circumstances, and I think we have to be careful not to tar every aspect of the Hamilton clan's lives with the crappiness of the books.
