On that I agree with you. Though I find it's easier to get people to see ones point of view by not going with an aggressive or down putting opening, but rather attempt more of a discourse.
I'll freely admit it's more of a "do what I say, not what I do" type ordeal, as it's not as easy on practice as on paper.
I was frustrated at someone disagreeing with a person for not liking HP. I think at that point it no longer counts as "separating the art from the artist".
That's absolutely valid, if so I misread the situation. Not always easy getting a read (no pun intended) on written situations, at least I can find it very difficult at times.
