It's not a matter of handling it. It's a matter of what is. Did you agree that the eBook on Amazon that was basically a pedophilia manual be allowed to stay? Be honest now. It you didn't think it should have stayed, then why do you think Lolita should be allowed? It has no redeeming value to it. It's about an adult in love with a 12-year old. There are some subject that should never be written about this being one of them and on top of that, I would have thought that MR would have stood up and said no to it. What if someone who is not an adult got the idea to read it because he saw it listed in a Book Club thread on MR? That would be wrong and any person with morals would know this to be true.
