But I would never, ever attack these posters in retaliation, like they did
Sorry, I guess I was speaking out of turn and I already acknowledged that you have never been rude about Sasha and I certainly didn't mean to imply that. I was talking about others. All I meant is that it's just as difficult for me to understand why people vilify Sasha as it is for you to understand how harsh people are being about Flatt.
That said, I think people have every right to criticize Flatt's skating. Sasha's too. Not being a skater, I've learned a lot about Sasha's weaknesses from reading her critics on this forum. I still love her, of course, but it's good to have a deeper understanding of her skating, too.
