Messing around I came upon an article on Nabokov’s Lolita where I’d commented. New comments had been added. One of them, made by TreeFull, said:
«I think perverted works of fiction deserve no place in our society. We profess to be progressive, but instead corrupt ourselves needlessly. Art is art but pervert is a pervert.»
My answer:
«You are seriously mistaking art here, I’d say. Of course that’s my opinion, but if we’d follow along on your thread of censorship there’d be no art. I’d like to hear your thoughts, TreeFull: [link to this post]»
Can you believe it? I’m abashed by the threatening ignorance at display.
