Please help me understand how my post had anything at all to do with discrediting the book?

Unless I am totally misreading your comments, you are not a fan of "Lord of the Flies." Therefore, you inflate the author's confession of a sexual misadventure in his youth into his owning a diseased mind necessary for his ability to describe violent behavior. This seems to me to be an attack on the book and the writer.

Where did I say diseased mind? Why do people keep putting words in my mouth (keyboard?)? I read Lord of the Flies several times as a student - the first time of my own free will, and again as a required assignment in an English class. I liked the book, though disturbing, at the time. As I have grown older, I fully recognize the depths of the story -

Nothing more. Don’t add words or assume meaning. Just what I said.
