JKR lying about sick husband

From Fandom wank wiki

November 9, 2005: JK Rowling does not attend the Goblet of Fire movie premiere when her husband Neil Murray is rushed to the hospital with appendicitis. On (the now defunct) hermionepotter.net, Caina wonders if JKR is lying about the illness to avoid enraged Harmonian fans. She also puts up a poll asking if people think Rowling's husband really is sick.

The original post is long-gone but quotes from it are preserved in the FW thread that came out of the wank report.

Dramatic irony was working overtime that day, as Caina soon announced she was leaving the fandom for reasons of health. [1]

Caina Quotes

  • "Was she afraid of being booed on the carpet or something and she used the excuse that her husband was ill to hide?" - Caina's original post, quoted in FW thread [2]
  • "I think what most people are forgetting is that if I wasn't willing to give her the benefit of the doubt then I wouldn't have included the option about her husband being really ill. I could very easily have left that out, but I didn't." - Caina re: FW's reaction, quoted in the Wank Report
  • "So, for those of you who continually wish death upon me, you may find yourself in luck. Keep your fingers crossed. With the kind of health problems I'm having, I may lay down to sleep one night and never get back up. That would make your lives a bit happier, wouldn't it?" - Caina [3]

Wanka Quotes

  • "That sound you hear, that's the sound of inevitability. Or, perhaps, the sound of *headsofa*.
    I think it's given that one day, I'll turn on the 9 o'clock news and there'll be nighttime footage from JKR's front yard. Upon the lawn, there'll be giant gasoline letters aflame and they will spell 'H/HR FOREVA BITCA'. Solemn police officers and firemen and blinkenlights and journalists galore surround the spectacle. JRK has 'no bloody comments'" - spleen [4]
  • "I'm sure JKR has nightmares about the Harmonians, they're like assasins in the night just waiting to strike. With their shaky logic and complete lack of reality I too would fear the day I would be forced to sit blindfolded while being interrogated.
    'Admit it, you're just a sleazy whore who gets off on ruining an entire romantic movement.'
    'You used to like us but then that Emerson showed you the forbidden garden of R/Hr!!!'
    'You are the last authority where Harry Potter is concerned Miss!'" - skewed tartan [5]
  • "Clearly her husband once made a passing remark about how he thought that Harry and Hermione were meant to be, and Rowling has been slowly torturing and poisoning him out of spite ever since." - dawnswalker [6]
