It was an attempt at summing up the general feelings I'm seeing on both sides of the discussion, and explaining what my position is.
One thing: I do feel rather irate at the side I'm not on being described as the "anti-pedophilia" side, as if my side were the "pro-pedophilia" side. I think everyone in MobileRead is anti-pedophilia, and if they're not, I'd like to violate a few forum rules in their general direction.

Worldwalker, for the record, I wasn't sure if any of your post was directed toward mine or not - I too was answering bits and pieces of a few.
Also, I went back and found a terribly constructed sentence of mine that I have since edited:
I had written, without the italicized words, and the first
one was "anti-pedophilia":
"Yet for every complaint about "emotional appeals" from
one side, there are emotional appeals in the form of "freedom of speech"
from the other side."
Which was and still is a chopped-up, nonsensical word salad. My point was about the appeals - i still can't think of an elegant way to describe who's saying what.
I had gotten a call, got in a hurry to finish, and ...
But for the record, I promise i don't think the only people who are anti-pedophilia are those who wanted Amazon to remove it.
