I'm not trying to be a turd; I just read your comment and it rankled me, so I tried to address the substance of it. I often find your contributions to MR to be enjoyable and helpful.

Well, by all means then... lets write this off as an unfortunate mishap.
There's a reason I used words like "I think" and "
most people's opposition," after all... and that's because I
understand there are no hard and fast rules that apply across the board. I mean... isn't it at least
slightly possible that you might not be representative of "most people who are opposed" to this sort of literature existing?
And for future reference... my disagreements with people online should never be construed as "I hate you, you suck." But rather a "I may disagree with your position, but still enjoy discussing it" sort of thing.
