With the very greatest respect, hildea, I was addressing what the article actually said. It said that its author found the books on the list "shockingly offensive". That is the issue I addressed in the post you kindly referenced.
The article says, and I quote:

I read the 100 “best” fantasy and sci-fi novels - and they were shockingly offensive

I was making the point that to called a book "offensive" simply because it reflects the social attitudes of its time, which differ from those of today, is silly. Do you disagree?
