It does seem that I stand rebuked.
"Judgemental" is probably accurate but then we are all judgemental, all day and every day so what you seem to be objecting to, is that to be so is somehow out of place in this forum. If this is meant to be a sterile exchanging of opinions of what one likes in terms of books then you may well be right. But then books are subversive and dangerous in that they are about the exchange of ideas, and some may say that ideas may not be restricted by middle-class ideas of "niceness". As hard as I may try, when someone comments that they find P G Wodehouse's writings as "offensive" then "preference" or not, it does seem to warrant a reply.
