And I think ORAC is always accredited with a fair amount of blame.
Avon seems to get the bulk of it, though. "How could he do such a thing!" and so on. It often seems to me (in fanfics and so forth, anyway) that people tend to overlook the fact that it was all *Orac's* idea...
But it's Avon's fault for listening to it. (Insert Biblical quote which I can't remember which basically refutes the argument "He tempted me" with the answer "You wouldn't have been tempted if you hadn't wanted to do it in the first place")
After all, Orac suggested killing Vila and Tarrant in Headhunter, and Avon refused to do it.
