I realise that when everyone reads a book they are coming from a different history and background.
"One book can give a prism of information to each different person who reads it. One person will only see the red, some the violet, others the blue, others will see it all. It's all different."

This is a comment I made on my short review of Warleggan, the book I have shelved for my own personal reasons.

I appreciate that for many, Ross is a hero. Your opinions are as valid as mine.

We are coming from a different history/past. We are looking at the prism (book) and pulling different colours from it.

Whereas my love for Demelza and the other characters will stay, I cannot quite get over Ross's behaviour.

Just because I see red and other see violet from the books they are enjoying, doesn't mean we can't still enjoy each other's company.

I wish you all the very best and thank Tanya for her continued dedication to this group and it's members.

Sarah-Vita I think you said that very well, Ann! And I think maybe it's because I have a different opinion about Ross, that that is what allows me to respect your's.
Now, don't anyone get me wrong, I can DEFINITELY see where one's opinion of Ross may change or darken, especially in "Warleggan," I think that also contributes to the growth of all the characters. But as a collective fanbase, we should ALL respect each other opinion, even if one chooses not to follow a character because of something they did.
One sees red, and others see violet, whereas we are all looking at the same rainbow :) (That was cheesy, I know... LOL!!!)
