My point is if you want to talk about the harmful effects of addiction - addiction to porn, drugs, alcohol, the internet whatever... make that case.

I was critiquing your style.

One of my favorite writers wrote a book some years back that was considered pornographic at the time - but he was also compared to James Joyce in a Boston review. I liked the book. Also thought it was pornographic for the time period he wrote in - maybe still pornographic.

On a lot of issues - like Obama doing a bait and switch lie on ObamaCare - a lie that will hurt millions of citizens - I don't see 'gray' areas. Obama's lies and deception were wrong. With porn - some types - I see shades of gray - not fifty shades - but shades...

To begin with, there is nothing wrong with my style, so let’s get that out of the way right now.

Second: no, I was not talking about the harmful effects of addition. I’m not sure what made you introduce that angle. I was talking about the presence of human trafficking in both prostitution and pornography — a reality no serious person denies.

I am not interested in experimental literature and related critical sophistries. Here’s some advice: pornography is always bad art because it’s sentimental. Entirely apart from moral considerations, it’s junk food. Another reason to avoid it.
