I've seen yet another comment saying people who thought the Edward/Bella relationship was abusive have either not read the book or have simply 'misunderstood' it, and am completely losing my ability to politely respond when I hear that, so I'm writing this so in future I don't even have to respond, I can link to here and avoid the risk of snapping and going on an all caps rant. I'm pointing out at the start that I'm not accusing all Twilighters of this, there are lots of Twilight fans on the spot who are able to give their opinion in a pleasant, grown up way, and I really appreciate that (virtual hugs for you all). The following is just directed at the people who seem to think that anyone with a different opinion is wrong or oblivious.
When you hear people say the Edward/Bella relationship is abusive (or any Twilight opinion you don't share)you don't have to agree, but if you wish to respond please keep some things in mind:
1. I've read the book. Most of the antis on this spot have read the book. The ones who haven't have made it a point to familiarise themselves with what happens in the books (otherwise how would they have an opinion on it?) many have also...

I felt like writing this article after reading a fellow ex-CAT member's article on Twilight haters. I also had a 'talk' with another ex-CAT member.
"4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater or anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer or her fans, and don’t throw nasty or immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”."
~Dearheart Rules and Guidelines (Updated!)
"And Twi-haters – it’s okay to poke Twilight and be deliciously witty and sarcastic...but don’t get nasty. There is a fine line between criticism and cruelty. Don’t say dumb things like “OMG edwards so gay becuz he sparklz,” “twilight sucks [bleep],” etc. Just don’t. If you have something negative to say about Twilight, please put it in a way that isn’t crude, unintelligent or mean-spirited. If you don’t want things to get ugly, don’t make them ugly. Comprende?"

This article is not meant to offend. It is mostly comedy and uses examples from more fandoms then just Twilight. There will also be examples that tak lyke dis and capslock. So be careful when reading.
I'm sure we are all familiar with a fangirl. (Or fanboy, but they are different and we will not be discussing them today.) Put simply, fangirls are very, very, VERY big fans of something. Twilight fangirls are obsessed with Twilight and will probably have as much Twilight merchandise as possible. A Bangel fangirl may eat you in your sleep if you are a hardcore Spuffy shipper, and a fanpop fangirl just can't leave the computer.
'How do you identify a fangirl?!' you ask. Well, this article will tell you how.
1. EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! (The squeal.)
You have probably heard this before. The first and most identifying characteristic of a fangirl is the squeal. It is high-pitched, loud, and also accompanied by grinning insanely, jumping up and down, and excessive hyperactiveness. This is used to show the ultimate love for their fandom.
