I don't think I changed the quote--I just took the line, but if I did inadvertently change it, my apologies. My answer was really directed at the idea that the reason for buying/reading was as simple as something like mommyprn. Referring to romance as mommyprn has a negative and insulting connotation.

Because of that line, I didn't read through every single one of your posts to see if your overall feeling differed from that line. In fact, the truth is, once I read that line, I dismissed everything else you might have to say on the topic because I found that line insulting and narrow.

The only nerve such statements hits with me is to be dismissive of an entire genre or group of people. I don't care what people read or whether they read it via ebooks or print. I don't care if they are men or women reading it.

I apologize for insulting you; there's always a danger your words won't be read if you start off on the wrong foot. Trust me. I know this all too well!
