Gabaldon is really the same as LKH when it comes to Mary Sue-ness. Maybe even worse, as she seems to have problems seeing her characters as purely fictional; surely a symptom of the Mary Sue.
And ya, of course she doesn't address the pertinent points as she's just wrong and that would be like admitting it. I really think this stems from insecurity and not some moral bullshit stance as she claims.
