You use the word 'banned' and then continue as though I had suggested it, so that you could insert a 'Hitler comparison' to discredit my point of view.
Well, I only suggested the comparison, but in a way that somehow also means making it, of course. Sorry for that - I actually had pondered on making a joke about the overdue Hitler comparison long before you made the post I replied to - and then I couldn't resist, because you absolutely did say you want to ban books. If I may requote the quote I quoted [oops, I'm sure that was an unsound sentence; what about outright silliness, btw? Would that be allowed to cross your line in the sand?]:

So here you are: You don't want badly written books allowed through the net. Now go ahead and explain the difference between not allowing and banning.
My own point of view, to answer your question, is that every godawful piece of crappy writing should be "allowed through the net" - I'll manage to pick the good stuff myself, thank you. I don't want my reading chosen by anyone imposing their standards. Thank you very much indeed.
