I don't think that is a bad question. I think LJG is written to be a person we connect with, admire, understand his reasons, etc. That's why many of us forgive him. If I think a woman was written as sympathetic as John, we wouldn't feel the need to scratch her eyes out. We "know" John (We meaning the ones who love him), therefore we don't get angry. I think the same thing would happen to a woman if we really knew her and liked her. -- Broch Talk

In reply to: Rollaine 's message, "Didn't want to open the can LOL! But I do think its interesting. LJG is an interesting character-I'll give him that! I always wanted to put that question out there, without getting anyone angry!" on 14:50:08 01/22/08 Tue

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> See, I'm not talking about real life. In real life, anyone had better not step on my toes. I'm not nice at all in that regards. I'm just talking about a fictional woman that we might have grown to like in the story (similar to LJ) and how we would perceive her acting up now and again with Claire. This has nothing to do with my real life, whatsoever. Being a scorpio myself, I have a verra deadly sting when attacked, just like you. -- Conmama, 09:31:31 01/23/08 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> I'm a Sagittarius. Not sure what I'm suppposed to be! Personally, I don't know if I would be accepting of a LJG female character. I guess its simply that I insert my own feelings and expereinces when I read. -- Rollaine, 10:19:46 01/23/08 Wed
