Thanks for your comments, everyone!

I know everyone has different 'ships and that's fine--it's the negativity and the "I'll never watch again if House/Cameron get together!" stuff that gets to me. I like all the characters on the show and I like House's relationships with all of them--they all have something special. If someone ships House with someone else that's fine--at least here no one's mean about it and is understanding of everyone else's likes and dislikes! Angelle13, I agree with your reason for liking House/Cam--they are opposites in many ways and I find their attraction really intriguing too. javajunkie4eva88, thanks for the link to Dysfunction Junction! I'm looking forward to checking it out! My sn over at TWOP was going to be HouseRules so I don't think it would have been too objectionable--but you never know. They just seem too stick-in-the-mud-ish for me. I like YTAW's House board too--they are House/Cam friendly.
And, no, I would never want House to change and become a big softie outwardly. Inwardly, you know he really IS a caring person which is very, very intriguing how he tries to hide it. You see it come out in keeping Steve McQueen as a pet, being thoughtful enough to buy Cameron a corsage on their date (that was the sweetest thing!!), the way he browbeats the patients which is the only way many of them would survive. The dichotomy that is House is the soul of the show and that should never change. But never allowing him to have a relationship is absurd. You know he can love because he loved Stacy and loved enough to let her go knowing she would be happier with someone else. House is very much a hero at heart and he does his darndest to hide it. It's his relationships with the other characters that lets us see glimpses of the real House. I find it most interesting how it's Cameron who seems to fluster him the most--she doesn't let him get away with anything and I think he secretly loves that about her. That's why I find them the most interesting un-couple.
