Team Rachelle or Team Summit?

Eyes of Amber recently posted an interesting article. I thought I would share this with everyone.

The world of Twilight has certainly been a roller coaster ride lately. Last week gave us the glorious highs of Comic Con. This week dealt the crushing blow that the role of Victoria had been recast. According to Mark Malkin of E! Online, Summit and Rachelle Lefevre are no longer issuing public statements, rather allowing their lawyers to hash things out behind closed doors. But just because the major players’ lips are sealed, that certainly doesn’t mean the controversy is over.

It seems to me that the casting change for Victoria has produced the same thing she created in Eclipse, an army of ruthless newborns. Newborn vampires are driven by their emotions and desires. They are difficult to control and frequently fight amongst themselves. Some of the well-intentioned supporters on both sides of this issue have become nearly rabid in their responses. I’ve seen site owners verbally attacked, vicious rumors posted anonymously, and some downright nasty personal insults slung. It’s disheartening.

The thing that sets the Cullen clan apart from most vampires is their self control. We are all entitled to express our own opinions, but let’s try to do so with class and decorum. Let’s show each other some respect, and as I said yesterday, play nice. If the vampires and the werewolves can call a truce, why can’t we?
