"And if the readers are perverted, then everyone on FreeRepublic who has read the excerpts posted on this thread is a pervert."
You missed my point... You seem to be suggesting that's there's no ill in writing such things. Do you consider it OK to write porn? (which is what that part is).
Define porn. I found the particular passage revolting. From what I can tell on this thread, most FReepers have found the writing revolting. Do you think Webb was trying to arouse readers or shock them?
